Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Xinghai Square

Shangri-La Hotel Dalian is a top choice, offering panoramic views of Xinghai Square and the Yellow Sea from its premium rooms and balconies. Located just steps away from the square, it provides direct access to the waterfront promenade and features luxury amenities like a rooftop pool and fine dining restaurants. The hotel also offers complimentary shuttle services to nearby attractions such as Zhongshan Park and Tiger Beach Ocean Park.

Another excellent option is Sheraton Dalian Hotel, situated within a 5-minute walk of the square. It features spacious sea-view rooms, a modern fitness center, and an on-site café serving local seafood delicacies. Both hotels provide exceptional service and ideal locations for travelers seeking convenience and scenic beauty.

The most efficient way is to take Line 2 of the Dalian Metro, which stops directly at Xinghai Square Station. Just three stops will bring you to Qingniwa Bridge Station, where you can transfer to Line 1 for quick access to Dalian Railway Station and the city center. Numerous bus routes also serve the area, connecting to major landmarks like Zhongshan Square and Lüshun Port. For a more leisurely journey, walking along Jiefang Road westward (about 1.5 km) offers scenic views of coastal architecture and parks. Ride-hailing apps like Didi and electric bike rentals are also convenient options, especially during evening visits to enjoy sunset and night lights.

Nighttime at Xinghai Square is magical, featuring the daily light-and-sound fountain show starting at 7:30 PM, synchronized with music and water jets. The central sculpture, "Soul of the Sea," glows dramatically under the lights, making it a favorite photo spot. Surrounding the square are numerous seafood stalls and restaurants offering fresh Dalian oysters and sea urchin rice. We recommend visiting the eastern pier after 8 PM to enjoy the tranquil view of the Yellow Sea, distant ships, and soft waves—perfect for a romantic evening stroll.

Xinghai Square itself is a family-oriented destination, featuring a dedicated children's playground with soft mats, slides, and sand pits ideal for young kids. The family-friendly walking path along the eastern coast includes educational signage about marine life and local geography, turning a walk into a learning experience. Nearby, Dalian Forest Zoo (a 10-minute drive) offers interactive animal feeding sessions and live shows. The square also hosts seasonal family events like holiday light festivals and craft workshops—check official social media channels for schedules to plan your visit seamlessly.

Recommended options include Lavande Hotel (Dalian Xinghai Square Branch), located just a 5-minute walk from the square, offering clean, affordable rooms with free Wi-Fi and breakfast. It’s part of a well-known domestic chain with consistent quality and convenient access to metro and bus stops. Another solid choice is HanTing Hotel (Dalian Xinghai Square Branch), within 800 meters of the square, featuring laundry facilities, a quiet reading lounge, and family-friendly room types. Both hotels provide reliable service and are ideal for travelers seeking value without compromising on location or comfort.

Xinghai Square was originally established in 1994 as "Xinghai Park" and expanded into its current form by 2000, becoming one of China's largest urban squares. The name "Xinghai" symbolizes Dalian's brilliance shining like stars upon the Yellow Sea. The design blends modernist architecture with maritime culture, highlighted by the iconic central sculpture, "Soul of the Sea," representing the city’s deep connection to the ocean. Over the years, the square has evolved into a multi-functional public space hosting major events like the Dalian International Beer Festival and New Year countdown celebrations, cementing its role as the city’s living heart and cultural hub.

Wenshan Courtyard · Xuexiao Zhongshan Homestay (Dalian Railway Station Labor Park Subway Station)

This stay absolutely blew me away—hands down one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and made check-in a breeze—no delays, no stress. The room was immaculate, spotless from top to bottom. The bedding felt like sinking into a cloud—so soft and comfortable, I couldn’t resist taking an extra nap. The bathroom was thoughtfully designed with a dry/wet separation, and the toiletries had a subtle, refreshing scent that made shower time feel like a little luxury ritual. Location-wise? Perfect. Just steps from the subway station, and everything you could want—local eateries, convenience stores, cafes—is within walking distance. Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, it’s incredibly convenient. But what truly stood out was the service—attentive, genuine, and always ready to help. It felt less like staying at a hotel and more like being welcomed into a home. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Dalian.

Yintai RV Camping Hotel (Dalian Yinshatan Branch)

Staying at Yintai RV Camping Hotel (Dalian Yinshatan Branch) was an absolute highlight of our trip. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach, so we could enjoy sunrise views and even dip our toes in the water right after waking up. We were upgraded from the Bamboo Heart Cottage to the Bamboo Green Courtyard without any extra charge—what a lucky surprise! The room is spacious with a queen bed and two sets of bunk beds, comfortably fitting four adults or even six if you're cozy. Best part? You get your own private courtyard where we grilled fresh seafood—so much fun and very authentic camping vibes. The only thing to note is check-out time at 9:00 AM, which caught us off guard since we didn’t see it clearly earlier. Otherwise, everything was fantastic. Midday was perfect for sunbathing and swimming, while mornings and evenings were ideal for exploring the tide pools. Nearby restaurants are easily accessible via delivery, making meals super convenient. This place truly offers great value and unforgettable experiences—definitely planning to come back.

Staying at Dalian Baixuan Hotel Apartment (Xinghai Square) was a truly refreshing experience.

No lingering odors, pristine linens, and all disposable amenities like toothbrushes and slippers were thoughtfully provided. The room itself had everything I needed: reliable Wi-Fi, strong air conditioning, and hot water. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable—the metro entrance is right outside, making it super easy to explore Xinghai Square, Laohu Hill, and other nearby attractions in just minutes. There’s also a tiny but fantastic seafood stall downstairs that serves fresh, affordable seafood—perfect for a quick dinner after a long day of sightseeing. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall value for money was excellent. I’d definitely book again if I ever return to Dalian.

Jianguoke • Scenic Apartment (Dalian Xinghai Square Subway Station)

Honestly, this stay was absolutely perfect! We arrived late—well past 11 PM—but the host was still waiting downstairs with a smile, helping us carry our bags. That kind of hospitality made all the difference right from the start. The apartment itself felt like home: warm, thoughtfully decorated, and full of little personal touches that added real charm. The natural light pouring in through the windows was incredible—waking up to views of Xinghai Square and the sea bridge was pure joy. The bedding was soft and high-quality, making for an excellent night’s sleep. I especially appreciated the in-room washer and fridge—so convenient for longer stays. Being just steps from the subway station is a huge plus, and there are great local spots nearby for breakfast and evening bites. What really stood out was the host’s thoughtful preparation—he sent me a custom travel guide via WhatsApp before arrival, packed with insider tips on hidden gems, local eats, and how to avoid tourist traps. Any questions I had were answered quickly and kindly. If I ever come back to Dalian, this will be my first choice again.

Shangwujia Hotel Apartment (Dalian Convention and Exhibition Center Store)

Staying at Shangwujia Hotel Apartment (Dalian Convention and Exhibition Center Store) was an absolute delight—definitely worth a 10/10. The cleanliness was top-notch; every corner felt fresh and well-maintained, which is always a big plus for me. As a newly opened property, the room design reflects attention to detail—the layout is smart, the furniture modern yet cozy, and despite minor imperfections, the overall quality is impressive. What truly stood out was the hospitality. The host went above and beyond: they turned on the air conditioning before our arrival, clearly anticipating our comfort.

Bayshore Hotel

The overall experience was excellent, especially the ocean-view room—stunning scenery with a refreshing sea breeze when the window was open. The only minor issue was that the air conditioning seemed to be set too low, and combined with direct sunlight through the windows, the room temperature stayed uncomfortably high throughout my stay. I kept the window open the entire time, but it didn’t help much with cooling down—made it tough to sleep comfortably. If you’re sensitive to heat, be mindful of this, and consider requesting a room with better climate control or bringing a light blanket. That said, everything else was top-notch: great location, clean rooms, friendly staff, and fantastic value for money. Definitely would book again.

Staying at Crowne Plaza Xinghai Dalian was an absolute highlight of our trip!

Her attention to detail and prompt service made the entire experience seamless. The room itself was spacious and incredibly comfortable, with a bed that offered a perfect night's sleep. The bathroom featured a smart dry-wet separation layout, which added both convenience and hygiene. Every little touch showed how much care the team puts into guest satisfaction. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay—highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Dalian!

the Castle Hotel, A Luxury Collection Hotel

Staying at The Castle Hotel in Dalian was an unexpectedly delightful experience. While the property is over ten years old and shows a few signs of aging—like minor cracks on the cabinet above the minibar and some walls—the overall condition doesn’t detract from the comfort or quality of the stay. It’s still a well-maintained luxury hotel with all standard amenities you’d expect. Breakfast was solid, offering more variety than some Westin locations but slightly less than certain Marriott properties. That said, the food quality stood out: the pastries were excellent, juices and milk options were plentiful, and the hot dishes were flavorful despite limited choices. The braised pork belly with potatoes was rich and aromatic, while the steamed shrimp were large and fresh. One area for improvement? The fruit wasn’t very sweet, and the quality could be better. But cleanliness was spotless—no issues there. The location is truly special: perched on a hill overlooking the sea, it’s one of Dalian’s iconic landmarks. Nighttime photos are absolutely stunning, and walking down to the city takes about 10–15 minutes—quiet and peaceful, though not directly next to a subway station. Taxis are easy to catch. The rooftop garden on the fifth floor is a hidden gem, perfect for relaxing or just enjoying the view. The lobby itself is grand and beautifully designed—every corner is photogenic. Service was exceptional: staff greeted us warmly, opened doors, helped with luggage, and the dedicated concierge team went above and beyond to accommodate requests. The minibar comes at an extra cost, but we were pleasantly surprised with a welcome fruit platter, dessert, and a generous bottle of house-brewed beer—a unique touch. This brew isn’t available online, but it’s smooth, refreshing, and definitely worth trying. Overall, this hotel delivers a high level of charm, comfort, and value. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable experience that blends elegance, nature, and thoughtful service. I’d definitely return.

Kempinski Hotel Dalian

I recently stayed at Kempinski Hotel Dalian and was thoroughly impressed—this place truly delivers on comfort, location, and service. The hotel has just refreshed its brand experience, and the attention to detail is evident throughout. Located right next to Dasha Department Store, it’s incredibly convenient for shopping and dining. I could reach a variety of great local restaurants within just 5 to 10 minutes on foot—perfect for exploring the city without hassle. My room was assigned by Cathy, and I couldn’t be happier. It was spacious, immaculately clean, and had a calming atmosphere that made my stay even more relaxing. The only minor issue was the pillow—I found it a bit too firm—but when I mentioned it to the front desk, they immediately replaced it with a softer one. That kind of responsiveness speaks volumes about their commitment to guest satisfaction. Overall, this is a top-tier hotel with exceptional value. I’ll definitely be back.

Grand Hyatt Dalian

Staying at Grand Hyatt Dalian was an absolute highlight of my trip to Dalian! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the amusement park, and you can hop on the trendy Xinghai Promenade right outside. I loved grabbing dinner at Xi Ding nearby; it’s easy to get a table even during peak hours. The room view is spectacular—direct sightlines to Xinghai Bay with breathtaking sunrises. While the evening light show wasn’t my favorite, seeing it from the comfort of my room made it just as magical. The staff went above and beyond—prompt, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. During the off-season, they upgraded us to a spacious corner room without hesitation and even left a small gift. The fitness center is well-equipped, the pool is clean and inviting, but the real surprise was the sauna and hot tub area—beautifully designed, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. A quick 15-minute cab ride gets you to Jinsha Beach, making it easy to explore more of the city. This hotel offers incredible value, comfort, and charm—definitely a top-tier choice for first-time visitors to Dalian.
