| Situated at the center of the city of Datong, Nine Dragon Screen (JiuLongBi) was formerly the front screen of an imperial palace.
This glazed-brick structure has nine dragons sculptured in relief in five colors. As a symbol of the ancient emperors of China, the dragons were depicted fighting and frolicking in the clouds above the blue sea.The screen is 45.5 meters long, 8 meters high and 2 meters thick. |

It was built more than six hundred years ago, and is not only larger than the nine-dragon screen in Beijing’s Beihai Park, but three hundred years older.
