They are full of creativity and also reflect the concept of environmental protection. Terrace landscape wall: The height difference between the square and the main garden road is connected by a curved fair-faced concrete terrace landscape wall, which encloses a stepped and beautiful arc-shaped stand, forming an open-air stage that can accommodate thousands of people with the fan-shaped square under the lighthouse.
