Xingcheng Haiban National Park (Chinese: 兴城海滨; pinyin: Xingcheng Haiban; literally: "Xing 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, Juhua Island (simplified Chinese: 菊花岛; traditional Chinese: 菊花島; pinyin: Júhuā Dǎo; literally: "Chrysanthemum Island"; 40°29′51″N 120°48′05″E), once a sanctuary for the Prince of Yan on the run from the ruthless Qin Shihuang. The park's name may also be translated as "Xingchen Seaside Resort". The main beach is reachable by bus; Juhua Island is 9 km offshore, and is accessible by ferry. Although designated as a national park, Xingchen Haibin is not listed as a "protected area" in the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA).
