Who moved the air conditioning to Dalian Xinghai? A must-read for summer travel in Dalian!

Although Dalian is cooler than other places in summer, the recent 30°C temperatures have been unbearable. While showing my out-of-town friends around Dalian Xinghai, I discovered ACX is up to their creative tricks again. Folks, let's be real—who would say no to air conditioning? It instantly became our "pit stop" during the Xinghai tour. The exhibition area is quite spacious, featuring works by over 20 contemporary artists. My personal favorite is this piece in the corridor, which also has a "mini version" in the gallery. Viewed from the left, right, and front, the artwork reveals three different forms—reminiscent of the Mona Lisa's mysterious smile that appears and disappears from different angles. Here, the ingenious interplay and layering of geometric shapes, along with the rhythmic flow of lines, create a visual symphony. Honestly, contemporary art is all about personal interpretation. It's okay if you don't "get" it—what matters is finding inspiration in these designs, and that's where the real value lies. 📌 Bonus: Recommended one-day Xinghai itinerary: Xinghai Bay Cross-sea Bridge viewpoint - Castle Hotel 5th floor - Xinghai Square - Lunch - Xinghai Park - ACX Xinghai Art Center - Heishijiao Park - Heishijiao Beach - Dinner - Cross-sea Bridge 📝 Practical info: 🖼️ Boundless: German Contemporary Art Exhibition ⌚️ July 5 - August 17 📍 Chenxi ACX Xinghai Art Center 💰 Student ticket ¥25.9, Adult ticket ¥39.9, Adult duo ticket ¥59.9
