The Central Plaza of the Sanya International Duty-Free Shopping Complex is composed of two main parts: the main activity square and the Ocean Heart water feature. The design is inspired by the hibiscus flower, with the core concept centered around the "Light of the Ocean," creating a modern and technologically advanced central plaza space. The design language emphasizes elegance and grandeur, with a clear and distinctive marine theme.

The Ocean Heart water feature has a unique and impressive design, with a saddle-shaped central water feature located at the heart of the plaza, fully expressing the dynamic and fluid nature of the ocean. The sunken courtyard design uses innovative landscape elements to create a unique charm for the Ocean Heart. The combination of curved dry fountains and mirrored water pools, one dynamic and one static, evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity while also attracting visitors to stop and watch and participate in the experience. Light entering the pool bottom and refracted through the water surface creates a light and ever-changing visual allure, like shadows cast by the sea. The cascading water on the curved steps of the sunken plaza provides a visual and auditory feast, with the sound of falling water enveloping visitors. This is a new spatial dimension and also the most human-scale highlight of the plaza.

The design of the Central Plaza allows the Ocean Heart, the sounds of the ocean, the light of the ocean, and the form of the ocean to linger in the hearts of visitors, creating a unique and profound experience. It is an ideal gathering space that fully showcases the vitality and charm of the ocean.

In addition to being a scenic space for visitors to rest and stroll, the Central Plaza is also the core area for hosting large-scale events. Since its inauguration, it has hosted several significant events, including:

The 2023 First Sanya International Wedding Fashion Week

The 2024 China Duty Free New Year's Eve Gala

The 2024 Sixth Hainan Duty-Free Shopping Festival

The Central Plaza is not only a beautiful and functional space but also a vibrant hub for cultural and social activities, making it a focal point of the Sanya International Duty-Free Shopping Complex.
