This square is the centerpiece of downtown Shenyang. A massive fiberglass statue of Chairman Mao, which was built in 1969 during the height of his popularity, towers over the square. The base of the statue is lined with figures of students, peasants, and soldiers waving their Red Books. The square, especially in the evening, fills with soccer games, calligraphy artists and ballroom dancers (China's answer to aerobic workouts).
