Bikini is a kind of culture, fashion, as well as a healthy lifestyle. Before the new record was created, the old Guinness record was made in Russia by 1,900 Bikini wearers.

Titled "I love Bikini," the event was one of the major events of the first China (Xingcheng, Huludao) International Swimsuit Festival held in the city on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Other events of the festival include a swimsuit model contest, a design contest, a conference on investment and trade, a beach volleyball game, and a mass Taiji (Tai Chi) performance accompanied with the music of Chinese zithers.
