Fuente China, Bronze and marble fountain in Park of the Exposition, Peru.

Fuente China is a monumental fountain in the Parque de la Exposición in Lima, designed by the Italian architect Gaetano Moretti and made in Italy in Ettore Genovesi's workshop. At the top, a marble group by Valmore Gemignani shows three figures standing for the white, yellow and black races, which is why it is also called Fuente de las Tres Razas. Two bronze allegories by Ettore Graziosi on the sides represent the Amazon and Yellow rivers, and four reliefs reproduce the Raimondi Stele of the Chavín culture.

The Chinese community donated this fountain in 1921 as a gift to Peru marking the country's centennial of independence. The formal inauguration took place in 1924, establishing it as a permanent landmark in Lima's urban landscape.

The fountain is also called Fuente de las Tres Razas, after the three marble figures on top that stand for the white, yellow and black races. Four carvings reproduce the Raimondi Stele of the Chavín culture, and the bronze allegories on the sides personify the Amazon and Yellow rivers.

The easiest way to reach the fountain is by taking the Metropolitano train to the central station and walking through the park entrance near the MALI museum. The location sits centrally within the Exposition Park where visitors can freely explore the grounds on foot.

The fountain stands on the spot once occupied by the Kiosko de las Palmeras, whose first stone was laid in 1921. Four reliefs reproduce the Raimondi Stele of the Chavín culture, a pre-Columbian image rarely placed on a monument donated by an immigrant community.
