The two dragons standing guard each side of the Arch
Facing Heaven Archway
This magnificent archway was hand made in China according to traditional techniques and materials. It was shipped to Melbourne in many pieces and assembled in Cohen Place under the supervision of highly skilled Chinese craftworkers. It’s the perfect backdrop for photographs and the main entrance to Cohen Place, Chinatown Square and the Chinese Museum.
Melbourne's Chinatown is a fascinating place and I will be doing more posts about Chinatown.
It's gorgeous and surely brings joy to your city!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, the workmanship is very detailed. The Chinatown arches light up at night and cast a brilliant glow along the street.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
I wonder what the big metal loop is in the top shot. It looks like the world's biggest basketball basket.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a basket ball ring doesn't it? The ring is designed to hang lanterns on.
