Xinghai Park is definitely worth punching in! The sea view here is superb, the blue sky and blue sea are fun. The amusement projects are super rich, the sea bungee jumping is super exciting, the Ferris wheel can enjoy the panoramic view, and the beach can play in the water. Whether it is a parent-child, a couple or a holiday, you can have fun.
The boss of Dalian has a special love for Xinghai Park. When I was a child, every summer, I went to Xinghai Park to swim was the happiest thing. At that time, there was no Xinghai Bay Bridge, and Xinghai Park was almost a wasteland.
My family often meet up after dinner and walk to Xinghai. Every summer evening, we go there for a walk. Walking, viewing, and square dancing are also beautiful. The sea breeze blows gently. Strolling in the garden is leisurely and happy. A good life is actually around you.
In May, the water of Xinghai Park is azure blue, seagulls are flying, and the sunset glows. The picture is very vivid. It is a great place to relax and take the kids for a walk. It is definitely worth a visit.
Xinghai Park faces the sea, with a relatively flat east side and a few hills on the west side, providing a pleasant view. The park is now divided into four parts: a tourist area, a rest area, a children's playground and a bathing beach. Xinghai Water Park has water entertainment facilities such as high-platform water slides, a magnetized swimming pool and a high-platform diving. The most famous amusement project in Xinghai Park is sea bungee jumping. The bungee jump is about 55 meters high, with the sea below, which can give people an unparalleled sense of excitement.
In the cold winter, the beach is quiet. Although it is cold, I like to enjoy the tranquility and solitude. I can feel the cold sea breeze and feed the seagulls. The seagulls in winter don't seem to be afraid of the cold. They keep wandering on the beach. Even I want to become a seagull! ️
The square is very big! The musical fountain is spectacular and well managed! It was the beer festival at that time, there were a lot of people, many performances and snacks, and performances, it was very lively! If you are close to the beach, you will see a lot of seagulls, and you can feed them!
