Fuente China, Bronze and marble fountain in Park of the Exposition, Peru.
The fountain stands 8 meters tall and extends 14 meters in length, featuring sculptures that represent racial unity through three distinct figures.
Chinese residents commissioned this monument in 1921 as a gift to Peru for its independence centenary, with official inauguration occurring in 1924.
The fountain incorporates four replicas of the Raimondi Stele from Chavin culture alongside bronze allegories representing the Amazon and Yellow rivers.
Visitors can access the fountain by taking the Metropolitano to the central station and walking through the park entrance near MALI museum.
Italian sculptor Valmore Gemignani created the central marble figures while Ettore Graziosi crafted the bronze river representations on each side.
