Xinghai Bay Bridge
星海湾跨海大桥
A double-deck suspension bridge spanning Xinghai Bay. Viewed together with Xinghai Square, it is Dalian's most iconic urban seascape.
Xinghai Bay Bridge opened to traffic in 2015. It is about 6.8 km long and is China's first earth-anchored suspension bridge built over the sea. It links Xinghai Square on the west with the Binhai Road area on the east, and its two decks carry traffic in opposite directions. Pedestrians are not allowed on the bridge itself. The best viewpoints are on the seafront at Xinghai Square, Xinghai Bay Beach and Fisherman's Wharf. At night the bridge is lit and the city skyline is reflected on the sea. It can be combined with Xinghai Square and the Shell Museum for an evening walk. Driving across the bridge is free.
