Xingcheng Haibin National Park (Chinese: 兴城海滨; pinyin: Xīngchéng hǎibīn; lit. 'Prosperous City Waterfront') is a coastal national park in Liaoning Province, China. It is located south of the city center of Xingcheng, with an offshore island component, Juehua Island (simplified Chinese: 觉华岛; traditional Chinese: 覺華島; pinyin: Júehuá Dǎo; lit. 'Jue Hua Island'; 40°29′51″N 120°48′05″E / 40.49750°N 120.80139°E), once a sanctuary for the Prince of Yan on the run from the ruthless Qin Shihuang.[1] The park's name may also be translated as "Xingcheng Seaside Resort". The main beach is reachable by bus; Juhua Island is 9 km offshore, and is accessible by ferry.[2] Although designated as a national park, Xingcheng Haibin is not listed as a "protected area" in the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA).[3]
