Description
Geo location[1]
The Pai Lou at the entrance to Lan Yuan, the Dunedin Chinese Garden.
Construction on the Pai Lou was completed in May 2008.
The four dragons on its roof protect the garden from misfortune and evildoers, while the two stone lions, the "Dogs of Foo", stand guard at the base to scare away demons. These sculptures represent a lioness and her cub and a male lion playing with a ball.
