Tiger Sculpture Square
Dalian Tiger Sculpture Square is situated in Laohutan, Zhongshan District, Dalian. The square spans 15,700 square meters, and the group tiger sculpture is 35.5 meters long, 6.5 meters wide, and 6.5 meters high. Carved from 500 pieces of granite marble, it weighs more than 2,000 tons. The six uniquely shaped tigers all face east. The Tiger Sculpture Square includes close-up shots of the tiger sculptures (12 images), with the tigers howling against the wind, exuding majestic power. It was designed by the renowned Chinese painter and sculptor Han Meilin. The Tiger Sculpture Square was built upon the foundation of the country’s largest granite stone sculpture — the group of tigers. Based on this sculpture, the square breaks away from conventional circular designs and adopts an irregular shape. The 7,300-square-meter ground paving, made of flamed and chrysanthemum-patterned marble, forms the pattern of a tiger climbing a mountain. Thirteen irregular flower stands highlight the outline of the tiger. The surrounding greenery covers 3,100 square meters and features landscaping art introduced from abroad, with unusual rocks and stones placed among planted flowers and trees, offering a novel and striking visual experience. The square is equipped with over 300 lawn lights, garden lights, and floodlights, which decorate the space during the day and illuminate the Tiger Sculpture Square beautifully at night. It is one of the most splendid squares in Dalian.
