Xiongyue (Xióng yuè 熊岳), located in the south of Yingkou City (yíng kǒu shì 营口市), is a very well-known city in southern Liaoning. There are eight famous sights in Xiongyue, including Wanger Mountain (wàng ér shān 望儿山), Qinglong Mountain (qīng lóng shān 青龙山), Manshou Mountain (mán shǒu shān 馒首山), Shipeng Mountain (shí péng shān 石棚山), Xuemao Mountain (xuě mào shān 雪帽山), Xianren Island (xiān rén dǎo 仙人岛), Tianyuan Temple (tiān yuán sì 天源寺) and Zhang Guolao Bridge (zhāng guǒ lǎo qiáo 张果老桥). Mt. Wanger, among all, is the representative scenery spot.

"Tanggu" and "TEDA (Tianjin Economic-Technological Development)" are the most popular two words when people think of the new district.

The park covers an area of 46.7 hectares. The layout is modeled after the five continents and four oceans, incorporating different spectacles and folklore of the world. Most of the architectural structures are built from marble, some with exquisite carvings. These reproductions are vivid.
