Located in the intersection of Erqiu Road, TiYu Road and ChangQing Road, Chang'an Central Square, with an area of 8 hectares and over 40 millions RMB investment, is designed in 1997. The construction began in August 1998 and opened to the public on the Spring Festival of 1999. The square, integrating western construction style and constructional art of Chinese traditional parks, is the largest municipal and cultural facility of Chang'an so far. It can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it is also an ideal leisure place for over three hundred thousand resident here.
When you go upon the stages from the northern entrance,
a spacious square with more than twenty thousand
centiares will spread before your eyes. On both
sides of the square there is a row of King Coco
as high as 10 meters, as well as a row of banyan
trees. Featuring the enchantment of southern China,
the green trees are waving in the wind. Walking
towards south, there is an outdoor theater, which
can accommodate two thousand five hundred spectators.
On the outside wall of the theater is a basso-relievo
of more than 100 meters in length, representing
the history of Chang'an, the great achievements
after the reforming and opening-up policy, and the
beautiful future as well. At the southern entrance
of the square, there is a gate made of snow-white
marble with a big copper mirror hanging on it, which
indicating the justness, openness, honest and clean
executive style of the town government. Around the
square, there are four leisure scenery spots named
Spring Park, Summer Park, Fall Park and Winter Park.
Inside those parks are pavilions, stages, pagodas,
cocklofts, mazes leading to quiet places, red flowers
and green grasses, You can enjoy fountains of all
kinds with wonderful designs. All of them are perfectly
matched. The most attractive scene is the huge "FengShui
Ball" at the center of the square, known as No.
1 in China. The huge ball is 1.8 meters in diameter
and forms an array of "FengShui Ball" together with
the four small ones of a diameter 1.2 meters. During
