Witness the rebirth of a fountain in its twenties! Guangdong Guangxiu provides full support for the restoration and renewal of Yueyang Nanhu Square’s musical fountain.

The musical fountain at Yueyang Nanhu Square, a fountain with over 20 years of history, had been out of service due to aging wiring, rusted pumps, and system damage. Once a vibrant landmark of Yueyang, it held cherished memories for the city’s residents and vividly reflected a common issue in China’s fountain market: neglect due to age and abandonment due to deterioration.

Before New Year’s Day 2025, Guangdong Guangxiu Engineering Co., Ltd. accelerated the design and construction process, successfully restoring the Yueyang Nanhu Square Musical Fountain to its former splendor. With renewed vigor, Yueyang welcomes 2025, as the water dance on Nanhu Lake reimagines a new vitality.

The original equipment of the fountain in Nanhu Square, Yueyang, has been old, damaged, and out of service for many years.

Design: How to bring new ideas to an old configuration?

Enriching original water patterns – a joint show of light and shadow

Yueyang Nanhu Square Music Fountain, backed by the vast expanse of Nanhu Lake, originally featured a standard music fountain design. How to renovate it? How to innovate? Can it balance practicality and effectiveness? These have always been hot topics of concern to the people of Yueyang.

On this basis, Guangdong Guangxiu Engineering Co., Ltd. proposed eliminating redundant water features from the original fountain design and introducing a series of novel water elements. These include high-spout fountains, fan-shaped water curtains, rainbow-colored opposing jets, versatile jets, and floral baskets jets. This revitalization achieved a fresh new look. By integrating full-color laser lights and water curtain projections, a customized water curtain projection film for Yueyang Nanhu Square was produced. The upgraded water show now presents a spectacular fusion of sound, light, electricity, water, and video,achieving the renovation goal of achieving great results with limited input.

Construction: Thorough inspection leads to a new look!

Acupuncture-style renovation, Restorative Update

The fountain restoration project most cautions against blindly performing “major surgery.” With the current environment growing increasingly challenging, precise restoration is imperative. Guangdong Guangxiu Engineering Co., Ltd. decided to avoid large-scale demolition and reconstruction. Instead, it will conduct comprehensive professional inspections, accurately diagnose the “root causes,” and implement an acupuncture-style renovation—repairing rather than replacing.

Given the fountain’s age, its original control systems and equipment no longer meet modern performance demands. We have uniformly replaced and upgraded these components to ensure optimal compatibility. Concurrently, we have repainted functional old nozzles to refresh their appearance, repaired or replaced faulty nozzles and piping systems, and fully renewed motors, cables, underwater lights, and pumps. This categorized, step-by-step approach ensures thorough restoration results.

Recommendation: Smart operation to maintain vitality!

Regular activation – long service life

To effectively extend the service life of fountains, we recommend that all fountain operators turn on and run the fountains regularly. This can effectively prevent equipment aging, ensure water quality, maintain the normal operation of the system, and significantly reduces the likelihood of unexpected malfunctions.

Operate the fountain at least 1-2 times per month to keep pumps and pipes circulating. This prevents mechanical jamming or rusting, maintains component flexibility, extends equipment lifespan, and reduces blockages caused by sediment or algae buildup after prolonged inactivity. It also avoids moisture damage or aging in electrical systems due to extended power outages. Regular operation of the fountain also facilitates the detection of hidden faults, allowing minor issues to be identified early and preventing major failures.

The renovation and upgrading of the Yueyang Nanhu Musical Fountain has reawakened the passion of this long-dormant fountain.
