When you're in Shapingba, Chongqing, how can you miss checking out the Three Gorges Square?

Three Gorges Square is located at the foot of Gele Mountain and is a large urban square that integrates trade, culture, landscape, and leisure. It is divided into four parts: the Green Art Park, the Commercial Cultural Street, the Celebrity Sculpture Park, and the Three Gorges Landscape Park, with the latter being the core part of the square. It encapsulates the majestic view of the Three Gorges Dam and displays the beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges Reservoir area. Every attraction here is poetry, painting, and melodious ballads. The rolling Yangtze River water thunders down from the spillway dam, with waves crashing against the shore, unstoppable. At this moment, we will not forget that at 10 am on December 14, 1994, the commencement of the Three Gorges Project was announced, shaking the whole world and earning cheers! On the stone wall to the left of the Landscape Park, the 'Ode to Three Gorges Square' describes the spectacular view of the square and expresses the tremendous changes that have taken place today. As the ode says, 'This is truly a square, bustling with activity, shoulder to shoulder. Though man-made, it rivals the work of heaven...' On the stone wall to the right of the Landscape Park, a bas-relief titled 'Three Gorges Journey' uses the freehand brushwork technique of Chinese painting. With simple and smooth lines, it depicts the scenery of the Three Gorges on both sides of the river. In addition, there are other parts such as the Celebrity Sculpture Park, Green Art Park, and Commercial Cultural Street. The design of Three Gorges Square is innovative, humanized, and themed around culture and greening. The construction of Three Gorges Square not only provides a great place for people's leisure, amusement, and shopping but also adds a beautiful landscape to Chongqing, a city famous for its history and culture. Therefore, on holidays, the Three Gorges Square in Chongqing is crowded and extraordinarily lively. 🌈Estimated time for visit: 1-2 hours. ⛺️Admission: Free. 📮Location: Near the Qunwen Building of Shapingba District Cultural Center, No. 83 Xiaoxin Street, Shapingba District, Chongqing. 🚗Transportation guide: Take bus 0492 night line; 220; 220 interval; 237; 248; 260; 462; 501 night line; 805; 806; 843 to Shapingba Sanjiaobei (bus station), and walk to reach.
