Project details
The Suoyuwan stadium, located on a waterfront site in Dalian is a modern and iconic landmark for Dalian, a major city and seaport in the south of Liaoning Province. It is the central development using reclaimed industrial land on the peninsula, situated on the west of the port, enabling the stadium and surrounding area to make the most of dramatic views out to the bay.
The design was inspired by the stadium’s unique location and the rich maritime history of the waterfront region. The dynamic façade evokes cascading waves and shimmering seashells in three interlocking forms. A double helix ramp spirals up the façade, creating a walking route from the podium to the roof, to provide spectators with breath-taking views of Dalian Bay.
It is the first part of a wider redevelopment called City Marina Park, which is set to include an extension to the local metro line and the construction of an under-sea tunnel which will connect the new development to Central Dalian.
For spectators, the stadium creates an intense atmosphere and delivers fantastic sightlines, where fans feel closer to the action than in any other stadium in the country.
