Sparkling colorful water fountain 'dances' for centennial
Central Lake Park in Jinwan Aviation New Town debuted a music fountain July 1 with laser lights and roaring jets of water dancing to "Red" songs in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
The fountain is 100 m (328 ft) long, 80 m (262 ft) wide, and occupies 8,000 sqm (2 acres) at the core area of the park's southern zone. Costing 17 million yuan ($2.62 million), it has lattice water films, dazzling laser lights, and outdoor theater sound systems that interact with lake-circled lighting belts and luminous architecture.

There are eight sets of equipment for various performances. The major spray-head delivers "Heart of Zhuhai" with 80-m water jets, the highest in the city's west wing.
Surrounding the fountain, the core area of Aviation New Town has taken on a new look. The nearby Civic Arts Center has been designed by the renowned Zaha Hadid Architects. It will begin operations in mid-2022 with an artistic appearance and versatile functions.
The Jinwan Civic Center and Public Cultural Service Center (District Library and Archives Hall) southeast of the lake are both in use.
