The square features regional commercial facilities, a large exhibition center, an open space for ethnic celebrations, underground commercial areas, and parking spaces, all integrated with water features and green landscapes. The core area is designed as a grand gathering plaza, emphasizing a central axis that serves as a comprehensive urban axis, incorporating urban space, green spaces, ethnic culture, regional services, and commercial landscapes.

With Shui ethnic culture at its core, the central axis of the plaza introduces water from a nearby river, creating a distinctive water landscape that reflects Shui cultural identity. As a unique cultural heritage of the Shui people, Shuishu combines pictographic symbols and oral traditions, passed down through generations. The plaza’s design embodies the historical and cultural significance of Shuishu.

Capable of accommodating over 20,000 people, the plaza primarily serves ethnic celebrations, parades, and large gatherings. In the northeast corner, a small business incubation center supports local enterprises, while in the southwest corner, a four-star riverside hotel offers tourism and leisure services. More than just a gathering space, Shuishu Plaza stands as a landmark that highlights Shui culture and the city’s unique spirit.
