Square is the central square in Dalian which houses nearly all
the city-level administrative buildings. It lies in the middle
of Xigang District with the municipal government standing in
the north. The square covers 120, 000 square meters. Her original
name is Stalin Square, from which we could see clearly that
Dalian has made up a sound friendship with Russians in those
years. Four lawns of 4 hectares spread over the center part
of the square, where grass always keeps green with the change
of four seasons. The daily national flag hoisting ceremony and
the groups of pigeons on the ground attract a lot of visitors
here. Various water patterns are created in the music fountain
bringing people a great cooling feeling in hot summers. On the
shiny days, beautiful kites dancing above the square create
another scene of the square. When nights come, a lot of citizens
gather here: the young couples with their baby stroll here,
and the senior citizens do physical exercises at the corners
of the square. The colorful lightings in the square vary now
and then, shining under the peaceful and harmonious night sky.
