This beautiful sculpture entitled, Dreaming of the Tiger, is located in Hupao Spring (Tiger Spring) in Hangzhou, China. Located in the mountains between West Lake and Qiantang River, Hupao can be found at the foot of Daci Hill about 5km southwest of Hangzhou. The spring is well known in China for its water quality and visitors travel there to taste the Longjing tea made from the water of Hupao Spring.

The popularity of the spring has led to the expansion of the surrounding area which includes a forest park with streams, trees, pagodas and pavilions. Memorials and other cultural buildings and sculptures can also be found on the premises. For more travel information visit Tour-Beijing and China Travel Guide.
