Chinese Arch

Liverpool's Imperial Arch is the largest outside of China. Standing 15 meters or some 50 feet tall and spanning the street it stands on (Nelson Street). It has to rank as one of the most spectacular sites in Liverpool.

With its 200 Dragons, five roofs and sheer complexity it is well worth taking the time to view this huge structure. Don't forget the wide angle lens if you wish to take photographs.

Shipped from Shanghai in China piece by piece, the whole arch was put together in time for the annual Chinese, New Year celebrations held in this area every year.

The archway was a direct outcome of years of co-operation and co-ordination between the Liverpool Chinatown Business Association, Liverpool City Council, Liverpool Rope Walks and Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.

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."
