Dalian Tour of
Xinghai Park
|
|
Xinghai Park is situated on the
southwestern side of Dalian City and
borders Xinghai Bay from which it takes its name. Some 800 meters
(just under half a mile) in length, the park has luxuriant trees and
flowers on the landward side while the coastal side comprises a
beach of golden sands.
The park attracts many visitors as it is a haven of
tranquility as well as offering excellent facilities for bathing
from its safe beach where the water is neither too deep nor subject
to other than moderate waves. As well as the natural beauty of the
park the visitors will be drawn to the architectural delights of the
Qile Pavilion, Wanghai Pavilion and Yingchao Pavilion that are
connected by cobblestone footpaths.
Cliffs tower above the sea at the eastern and western
ends of the park and the cliff tops present stunning views across
the bay where sea and sky blend together on the distant horizon. The
Tanhai Cave can be seen in the eastern cliffs. The name of the cave
means 'exploring the sea' and as you descend the steps within it you
will find the sea-spray rising at your feet, a truly amazing sight!
Another feature in the park is the Sun Asia Ocean World
where you can observe many of the often bizarre creatures that live
in the sea. This aquarium is the first in China to have an
underwater tunnel from which you can see the marine life at close
quarters. In addition you will see the world's first underwater
pyramid, city and flying saucer in this remarkable marine world!
This is the only museum in China dedicates to a fine collection of
fossils from all over the world, each one being several hundred
million years old.
