Shangyouxing Steam Engine Vehicle
The “Shangyouxing (SY) Steam Locomotive No. 0652” parked at the entrance—an industrial relic manufactured by Tangshan Locomotive Factory in 1973. With its deep green body, massive wheels, and vintage chimney, it’s visually striking and stands as a vivid testament to Dalian’s legacy as a “famous locomotive manufacturing city.”
