Xinghai Square (simplified Chinese: 星海广场; traditional Chinese: 星海廣場; pinyin: Xīnghǎi Guǎngchǎng), is a city square in Dalian, Liaoning, China. It is located to the north of Xinghai Bay. It covers a total area of 110 ha (270 acres), created entirely through land reclamation, making it the largest city square in the world. Its name literally means "the Sea of Stars".
On July 16, 1993, to commemorate the handover of Hong Kong, the Xinghai Bay Renovation Project started. The Dalian Municipal Government used construction waste to carry out land reclamation projects and planned the construction of Xinghai Square.[1]
On June 30, 1997, the Xinghai Square project was completed and the square was opened to the public for free.[1]
