Zengcheng Square is a national AAA-level tourist attraction and a patriotic education base.

Zengcheng Square in Zengcheng District is located in the new urban center of Licheng Subdistrict. It was one of the ten practical projects undertaken by the municipal government for the public in 2002. Covering an area of 600 mu, the square features a permanent stage plaza, an art corridor, Lehu Lake, a sculpture plaza, large-scale ecological garden landscaping, and fitness areas. The green space rate of the entire square reaches 55%, with a green coverage rate of 68%. It is the best destination for citizens to engage in cultural and recreational activities, morning exercises, and leisure after meals. From north to south, the square consists of the Municipal Plaza, the Historical and Cultural Corridor, and the Sculpture Plaza. Among them, the Municipal Plaza covers an area of 30,000 square meters and can accommodate 50,000 people for large-scale events; the Historical and Cultural Corridor is flanked by green leisure activity areas. In July 2006, Zengcheng Square was awarded the title of "National Characteristic Cultural Square" in the "Second National Characteristic Culture" competition, hosted by the China Mass Culture Society and China Culture Daily.

Upon entering Zengcheng Square, you feel as if you’ve stepped into a cultural maze: the creatively designed Sculpture Plaza, pebble-paved paths amidst lush green grass, the culturally rich Art Corridor, and quaint yet modern-style bridges and pavilions—all offering a unique scene at every step, showcasing a vibrant tapestry of contemporary human culture.

A square is the eye and soul of a city. Every point and direction of Zengcheng Square brilliantly reflects the functions of an eye and soul. Together, they form the entirety of Zengcheng Square, which is essentially a grand gathering of the spirit of Zengcheng...
