Xia Ji Square is located in the east of the student apartment at the north gate of the central campus. After Dacheng Square, Shandong University made great efforts to build another grand and meaningful theme square in the central campus. The newly-built square defines the functional zoning and density distribution, and forms various types of communication space, reading area and ceremony space by using Qi cultural wall, sinking square and large water droplets. Gong Xue used hollow sculptures, wisdom springs, ten sacred stones and jade cong to highlight the cultural connotation of Qi, which is a continuation of the "small forest" culture of Shanda and provides a new space for teachers and students to have a rest and exchange after class.

A forest the size of a mountain has become a beautiful campus spiritual landscape, lighting up dreams and guiding the future.
