Quancheng Square Part 3


Northern part of the square is the walking part beside the city moat. Inside this place, willows dance in the wind and transparent springs flow sluggishly, reminding us of the old life style of the city, “There are flowing streams by every house and willow trees by every door”.


Underground mall covers 46 thousand square meters, with such main businesses as trade, touring, culture, entertainment and parking.


Stepping up to the east and strolling along center of the square, you will be full of zest no matter you are touring, resting or dancing and excising. At the cross point of main axis and Shuowen Avenue, lotus sculpture and colorful laser musical fountains show graceful bearing. More than four thousand sprinkler heads play several thousands changes of water views together with the music. The integration of moving and freezing fountain demonstrates a riotous profusion. Cultural corridor looks like a jade screen half embracing the square. You can ascend to have a birds-eye view of the square or appreciate the art gallery showing Qilu culture. Through the middle of corridor, Liberation Pavilion is close at hand as in a picture. The relief “ Relics of Saints” is sculptured at two endings and pillars of the corridor, which shows “Shun (an ancient Chinese king) cultivating at Li Mountain” etc. 15 ancient stories form the historical line of Qilu culture. Inside are statues showing the grace of 12 ancient celebrities of Shandong, including Shun, Confucius, etc.

Born in the first light of morning, Spring City Square is the combination of city style and natural scenery. It conveys the new millennium hope of the city's people: old spring city constructs the brilliance of modern provincial capital.
