🎫 Free ⏱️ Open all day I happened to have a sunny day a few days ago, so I took my camera and visited Xinghai Park, a place I hadn't been to in years. I discovered that it's incredibly beautiful in winter! After all these years, I still fall in love with Dalian over and over again. The light around 4pm is especially soft, and the sky and sea are crystal clear without any haze. I strolled along the coastline from Xinghai Bathing Beach to the other side of the park, ending at the gate of Sun Asia Ocean World. The photos from the second one onwards are arranged according to my route, taken as I walked. When I got tired, I just sat by the sea for a while. Except for the strong wind, everything was perfect. The Ferris wheel by the sea is a real photography gem; close-ups, long shots, and detailed shots all turn out great. Seagulls also flock along the coast, and as soon as you offer them some food, they'll start their circling flight performance. I hadn't seen the postcard and lighthouse in pictures seven and eight before, so I don't know when they were built. If you're traveling, you can set aside an hour or two to explore Xinghai Park. If you still have energy, you can continue from Sun Asia Ocean World towards Xinghai Park; the scenery along the way is also very nice. 📷 Fujifilm XS20

This summer, come to Dalian to see the sea and take a spontaneous City Walk! At Xinghai Park, let your heart resonate with the sea and your steps walk with the city. This is not only a place to take photos, but also a haven for the soul. Come and leave your footprints, let Xinghai Park witness your travel story, and become the most shining stop in your memory. The beach of Xinghai Park is made of pebbles, and you can also go tidepooling when the tide is out. 🚟Transportation: Get off at Heishijiao Station on Metro Line 1 and walk to the park. Buses 23, 406, 28, 22, and 531 stop at Xinghai Bathing Beach Station.

🍃Xinghai Park is truly a treasure of a park. Although it's not big, there are super many spots perfect for checking in. Every place can capture the free atmosphere of the seaside. 1️⃣ The road to the sea is right at the entrance to the park, heading towards the seaside, very easy to find. 2️⃣ The bridge for bungee jumping, feeding seagulls, the sea breeze was super strong when I went, and there were actually people bungee jumping, which is admirable. Those who dare not bungee jump must go to the bridge to feed the seagulls, there are very few people. 3️⃣ The RV camping site, casually lounging can capture the relaxed feeling of sunbathing, feeling the sea breeze, and looking at the sea. 🛶 The park's bridge is really the best place to feed seagulls, better than Xinghai Square, with fewer people. The seagulls were so bold they almost kissed me, drooling all over my hand. Those who are scared can use the harder crust of the bread to hold it farther away. The sea breeze on the bridge is very strong, sunny weather and sea breeze are the magic tools for atmosphere. ⛵️ Before going, I always thought that Xinghai Square and Xinghai Park were not far from each other and could be reached by walking. But not at all! The two places require a taxi, walking is very, very far! I personally suggest if you're short on time, choose Xinghai Park! It's definitely a treasure of a park!
