Built in 1953, Haizhu Square is located at the intersection of Guangzhou’s old city central axis and the riverside scenic belt, making it the city’s only riverside square. It has witnessed major historical events such as the bombing and reconstruction of Haizhu Bridge, and the entry of the People’s Liberation Army into the city. Nearby are traditional commercial streets such as Taikang Road, Gaodi Street, and Yide Road. However, for a period of time, with the progress of urban redevelopment, the former glory of the “Red Heart of the Pearl River” faded. Due to the convergence of Metro Lines 2 and 7 here, the municipal government decided to renovate Haizhu Square. According to the plan, the 4.14-hectare southern part of the square will feature an open riverside-facing space, allowing visitors to enjoy views of the Pearl River. The square’s lawn will be dotted with large trees, achieving a green coverage rate of 60%. The western plaza will include a semi-sunken square integrated with the metro station and will pass beneath Haizhu Bridge, changing the current division of the plaza by the bridge. Visitors will then be able to freely cross under the bridge through the sunken plaza. The design also retains the square’s iconic heart-shaped outline and the People’s Liberation Army sculpture, while adding a “Red Heart of the Pearl River” themed sculpture on the side wall of the semi-sunken plaza. In conjunction with the metro construction, a hemispherical glass dome will be used at the center of the circular semi-sunken plaza as a cover for the metro entrance and exit, accompanied by a circular water curtain, symbolizing the new urban landmark of the “Pearl on the Riverbank.”
