Kazuo People's Square

　　People's Square is one of the practical projects promised by the county Party committee and government to complete in 2008, and it is also another strategic move for Kazuo to develop and manage the city from a high starting point.

　　People's Square closely follows the geographical features of Lizhou Ancient City nestled against mountains and water, showcasing the unique cultural landscape of Kazuo County. It emphasizes the seamless integration of traditional Chinese culture with modern civilization and incorporates the landscape characteristics of famous squares across the country. Designed with the functional concepts of improving ecology with clear waters, creating scenery with gardens, and presenting culture through sculptures, the square adopts natural, artistic, and human-centered architectural forms to build a cultural leisure space suited to the modern lifestyle and aesthetic tastes of the people of Kazuo.

　　People's Square has four entrances—east, west, south, and north. Entering the square, the central scenic pathway runs from north to south. The north entrance is home to a 6-meter-high, 20-meter-long sculpture titled "Prosperous Lizhou," which centers on the theme of “Mongolian and Han peoples uniting to create a prosperous Lizhou.” Crafted using traditional paper-cutting art and openwork carving techniques, it fully reflects the rich cultural heritage and distinct regional identity of the local Mongolian and Han peoples. The central main square, embraced by 12 ornamental pillars, covers an area of 44,832 square meters. At its heart stands the "Rippling Water Rhyme" sculpture, surrounded by music fountains that change in various patterns, interspersed with exquisitely crafted landscape lights. Twelve finely made white marble bridges connect the fountains to the surrounding areas of the square. The pathways within the square are convenient, and the facilities are complete. The surrounding area is shaded by rare and dense trees, covered with lawns and green spaces, where exotic flowers bloom competitively, bringing vitality and vigor to every corner of the square. Unique Kazuo-style sailboat lamps are located on the east and west sides of the square, while a well-arranged array of locust flower lamps, classic lamps, searchlights, and high mast lamps further decorate the space, adding even more beauty, warmth, and romance to the square at night. Being there will surely leave you feeling refreshed, delighted, and enchanted.
