People's Square
The other main square in the center of Dalian, where the seat municipal government buildings are housed, some in old Russian-style. Like Zhongshan Square, it may be interesting to some for the architecture alone, but this one has a much larger grassy area where kite flyers and fountains can be viewed (actually setting on the grass is frowned upon so don't expect to be able to throw a frisbee). The best time to see the fountain is probably during the evening show (20:00) when it is illuminated and elders join in dancing.

Zhongshan Park
Construction began during the Japanese occupation of Dalian. It is located in the eastern part of Shahekou District, with an area of 11,300 square meters. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were two desolate hills in the east and west, called Liujiatun Hill. In order to commemorate the Japanese Prince Shotoku, the Japanese colonial authorities built the "Prince Shotoku Hall" on the east mound to enshrine the wooden statue of Shotoku. At the same time, the hill was planned to be built as "Shengde Park", but Japan surrendered before it was completed. After the Communist

Dalian Forest Zoo
A major attraction for Chinese tourists primarily because of its pandas (both red pandas and great pandas live in the zoo), although many other exotic species are also represented. The zoo is essentially split into two parts, with a walking section at the top of the hill and a safari area at the base near Fujiazhuang. The two sections are joined by a cableway and a foot path, with the pandas housed in the upper section. The cableway is most popular mode of transport to get between sections, but zoo buses are also offered, in addition to walking (which is likely too much for little ones, as the

Tiger Beach Ocean Park
This tourist area is somewhat misnamed, as there really is not a beach to speak of. There are a number of tourist attractions, the most prominent of which is the Polar Aquarium. Other attractions include the Sea Creature Aquarium, the Coral Aquarium, the Bird Forest and the Happy Theatre. Though popular with tourists, the area, though pretty, is unlikely to hold the attention of more jaded overseas tourists for long and is perhaps best seen as a starting point for journeys along Binhai Road.
