SJ3589 : Chinese Arch

3 km from Birkenhead, Wirral, Great Britain

Chinese Arch

The Chinese Arch was a Liverpool initiative completed in 2000 and built by craftsmen of Liverpool's sister city Shanghai and shipped from China piece by piece. Spanning Nelson Street, at over 14 feet it is reportedly the biggest Chinese Arch outside of Asia. With its 200 Dragons, five roofs and sheer complexity it is well worth taking the time to view this huge structure. Protected by two bronze lions, and placed correctly with the principles of Feng Shui, the archway in all its glory simply states one thing, Zhong Guo Cheng or simply translated "Chinatown."
