The east and west sides are evergreen trees and black pines, which form a natural green barrier, separating the memorial area from the surrounding downtown areas, showing the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the memorial area. A Jinshui River in the northern part of the memorial area has become the defining element of functional space and landscape space, with a waterfront stage on the central axis on the south bank and a viewing space on the north bank.

On the west side of the square is the famous "Bayi Avenue". Before liberation, the subgrade of Bayi Avenue was the old city wall of Nanchang.
