Three Unmissable Sea‑View Stations on Line 2

Dalian is renowned for its coastal sights. Three Line 2 stations offer the most iconic shoreline experiences of the city.
 

Conference Center Station

Exiting at Conference Center Station, and just walk steps away, you'll reach Donggang Musical Fountain Square. It is the second‑largest musical fountain plaza in China, featured by its outline shaped like a seagull in flight when viewed from above. In summer evenings the water, colored lights, and music sync into a spectacular performance. Sit at the waterfront promenade, you can feel the Yellow Sea breeze while looking back at the city's glass towers.

 Exit C→ Donggang Musical Fountain Square, 3-min walk
 

Donggang Station

Donggang Station is near Gangdong Fifth Street. Thanks to a unique slope here, you can stand at the higher end and watch massive cargo ships and cruise liners gliding between the skyscrapers, seemingly sailing through the city itself. A few minutes walking  further brings you to the largest artificial canal district in Northeast China, the Oriental Water City, where seawater is channeled through winding waterways flanked by over 200 European‑style buildings.

 Exit B2→ Gangdong Fifth Street, 13-min walk; Oriental Water City, 5-min walk further
 

Haizhiyun Station

Ride Line 2 all the way to its endpoint, Haizhiyun Station, and you step straight into Dalian's raw coastal area at Haizhiyun Park, a free seaside park with over 1.2km-long coastline wrapped around a forested headland. The park features a winding roadway lined with enormous marine‑life sculptures half‑embedded in the cliffs, a pebble cove, and a coastal wooden boardwalk.

 Exit C → Haizhiyun Park, 8-min walk, opens from 10:00–18:00 daily.
