Opened on July 7, 2003, the square and garden spans a combined total area of over 85,000 square metres. It is in here that you will find 38 bronze sculpture pillars towering at 4.3 metres high. As well, a lion standing in the centre is meant to 'symbolise the awakening of the Chinese people'. The neatly groomed garden also features a variety of Chinese pines and other plant species alongside strategically scattered stone boulder drum replicas inscribed with calligraphy.
