The Calligraphy Square is located by the sea, on the outer side of the Zengcuo’an section. The square features stones of various shapes, engraved with masterpieces of calligraphy from different dynasties, creating a grand atmosphere. In the center of the square, a huge “Shou” (longevity) character paved with stones and pebbles stands out prominently, while each individual stone is inscribed with the character “Tao” (wave). It turns out this is a deliberate design choice by the creator—by omitting the “water” radical, the “sea water” and “Shou” together form the character “Tao.”

The tranquil and serene atmosphere of the square is perfect for people who have had a long, busy day. Enjoying the sea breeze and admiring the calligraphic carvings is the best way to relax the mind.
