1994年春，随着一声巨响，曾作为佛山纺织、陶瓷、电子三大产业象征的城雕“三支香”被定向爆破。这不仅是一次简单的拆除，更是一个时代的谢幕。原址上，一项宏伟的改造工程随之展开：一座立体化的下沉广场拔地而起，巧妙地实现了人车分流——地面上，环岛五岔路车流不息；下方则是慢行系统，供行人与非机动车从容穿行。时至今日，城门头下沉广场依然是禅城中心城区联通南北的交通动脉，也是守护祖庙商圈繁盛的重要枢纽。
In the spring of 1994, with a loud blast, the “Three Incense Sticks” city sculpture, once a symbol of Foshan’s three major industries of textiles, ceramics, and electronics, was directionally demolished. This was not merely a simple dismantling; it was the curtain call of an era.
On the original site, a grand transformation project unfolded: a three-dimensional sunken square rose from the ground, cleverly separating pedestrian and vehicle traffic. On the surface, the five-way roundabout carried a constant flow of vehicles, while below, a slow-traffic system allowed pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles to pass through at their own pace.
To this day, the Chengmentou Sunken Square remains a vital north-south transportation artery in the downtown area of Chancheng, as well as a key hub safeguarding the prosperity of the Zumiao commercial district.
