Dalian, Liaoning Province (May, 2007)

 
At one end of Xinghai Square is the structure in the top left photo. It is an open book and has symbolic meanings. The monument is built right on the ocean so it afforded great views such as the one in the bottom right photo.

At the other end of the park was an ornamental column (top right photo) with plenty of flowers and fountains surrounding it. Apparently it is a replica of one in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

The bottom left photo shows one of the many sculptures around the square depicting world sports. Click here for a really good shot of one at night.
