Taipingyang Water Square

　　The water square is a paradise in summer. Formed 140 million years ago, it is a massive granite formation that spreads across the seabed and connects to the surrounding mountains. It stretches approximately 1,380 meters in length and reaches up to 150 meters in width at its broadest point. The flat rock surface has been measured to cover an area of over 110,000 square meters, with 48,000 square meters currently developed. The stone surface is smooth as a whetstone, seamless and free of moss, with evenly distributed water that only reaches the ankles. The shimmering surface of the water creates a spectacular sight.

　　The upper section of the water square is a 17,000-square-meter interactive water play area where the water is only ankle-deep. Here, everyone can enjoy playing in the water—splashing, surfing, having water fights, practicing water tai chi, or engaging in water tug-of-war, each finding their own fun. The lower section of the water square is a super-sized natural swimming pool with depths ranging from 1.4 to 4.2 meters and covering an area of 11,000 square meters. Visitors can swim or interact with the water, or rent rubber rafts to paddle around. At the foothills on the right side of Taipingyang Water Square lies a vast expanse of flat farmland.
