Guaun Zhang went missing from the Flagstaff Hill area at around 4.30pm on Tuesday.
The man is from Sydney and was visiting the area with his family when he wandered away.
On Tuesday night Wollongong Police established several teams to search the area around Belmore Basin before extending coverage area to as far north as The Lagoon restaurant and Stuart Park.
Mr Zhang speaks very little English, has poor eyesight and walks with a shuffle.
He suffers from dementia and is unlikely to approach people and ask for help.
He was last seen wearing the blue Kathmandu jumper seen in the above photo.
If Mr Zhang is sighted or if anyone has information about his whereabouts they are asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
