At Sixteenth street just south of the Bendix Lama Temple you will see the replica of a walled residence from China. Occupying its own shrine, is a carved jade representation of a Chinese Pagoda of seven stories, standing over 50 inches high. It took 18 years and a small army of artists to achieve this very beautiful work of art. The exhibits themselves are a veritable treasure house of porcelain. lacquer ware, silks, embroideries, carved ivories, and old jades dated many centuries B.C.
An embroidered portrait of President Roosevelt and a porcelain plate showing the Presidents of China and the United States standing side by side are very interesting exhibits to see.
Entertainment is furnished by the finest troupe of acrobats that has ever left China.
The Chinese building is open from 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. every day.
