There are 36 lights with stereo around the central square and 6 pieces of relief which reflect history and culture of Shanghai.

Tips:
- There is a featured old style street of Shanghai in 1930s under the square, where is a vivid live-action of the old Shanghai farces, buildings and townscape.

A blue and white dovecot can be seen in the southwest side of the People's Square. Every day visitors will see thousands of doves which provide a peaceful and matronly atmosphere there.
