Recreation Square

　　Recreation Square is located in the city center of Shihezi, directly south of the First Building of Military Reclamation in Shihezi. It is a beautiful square where flowers bloom among the trees and lush greenery spreads vibrantly. At the northern entrance of the square, there are three lawns surrounded by Dutch chrysanthemum hedges, each with nine emerald-green Chinese red pines forming a green plum blossom. The tall silver lampposts beside the lawns reach toward the blue sky, adding a touch of brilliance to the square at night.

　　Upon entering the square, the first thing that catches your eye is the fountain, which glistens and dances with a lively energy. Located at the intersection of the east-west and north-south axes, the fountain is the most captivating sight in the square. The fountain has a six-petal flower-shaped water surface with 106 nozzles. The central group features three tiers, with the highest tier spraying water nearly 20 meters high, creating a majestic and spectacular column. The smaller surrounding fountains spray water in various forms, complementing the grandeur of the main fountain and adding a unique charm.

　　On the southern side of the square stands the "General's Bronze Statue," faintly evoking the image of General — surveying the land on horseback and envisioning the new city. On the eastern and western sides of the square are two groups of sculptures: the "New Frontier Symphony Sculpture" on the east and the "First Plow of Military Reclamation Sculpture" on the west. Together with the "General's Bronze Statue," they form a triangular arrangement, jointly creating the distinctive urban sculpture of this military reclamation city. Surrounding these statues are over 30 large and small flower stands and tree stands, interspersed and interwoven, rich in color and harmonious in composition, making them truly captivating.
