As a contemporary installation it combines large-scale bronze and stone elements depicting the two figures and associated scenes. The site functions as both a tourist attraction and a cultural-symbolic landscape intended to evoke China’s ancient civilisational narratives.

Located in Henan, the sculptures occupy a prominent position in the riverine landscape and are part of a wider cluster of cultural tourism developments along the Yellow River.
