Dalian - Tiger Beach Park

(Local Name: Laohutan) Covered in lush vegetation, this park is situated on a rocky promontory in the southeast of the town. Against the skyline are silhouetted pretty pavilions in the classical Chinese style, their roofs covered in multi-colored enameled tiles. The name of the beach is based on the legend that this region was once ravaged by a wild tiger which was then slain by a young man called Shi Cao.

Two hills nearby serve to remind us of this legend: one is called Hill of the Cleft Tiger's Head (Bania Ling), the other Hill of Shi Cao (Shi Cao Ling).
