图片描述
The sculpture was designed by Professor Ye Yushan, a renowned Chinese sculptor.


The entire sculpture covers an area of 600 square meters and consists of three parts: a pool, a group of sculptures, and a monument.


The pool is circular with a diameter of 13.8 meters and can hold 150 square meters of water, symbolizing the sea.


In the center of the pool stands a 12-meter-high pearl shell-shaped monument.


The three-dimensional three-leaf shell holds a stainless steel ball with a diameter of 1 meter, symbolizing the shining pearl nurtured within the shell.


Around the main monument in the pool, there are three unique groups of sculptures, including a pearl girl riding a sea fish, a young fisherman riding a sea turtle, and an old fisherman riding a seahorse.


Each sculpture stands 5 meters tall and is cast in bronze alloy.


In 1993, lighting and fountain facilities were added to the pool.


When night falls, the monument, sculptures, lights, and fountains complement each other, creating a grand and magnificent scene.


The opening hours and business status are subject to the actual opening conditions on the day.
