Manchester is home to one of Europe's largest Chinese communities, and this striking piece of architecture commemorating the fact - a gift to the city from the people of China - sits in the middle of a rather shabby square, surrounded on all sides by bustling human and vehicular traffic. A ten-minute walk away, the Chinese Arts Centre provides a more serene appreciation of the nation's culture and art.
