There is actually a Nine Dragon Wall in Chinatown in Mississauga. I was really shocked by this shadow wall.
I am a tour+global traveler who watches the sea and listens to the waves, please follow me!

I never expected that there is a "Nine Dragon Wall" in Mississauga, Canada. It is located in Mississauga's China Town. Seeing it, there is an indescribable feeling of intimacy.
In Chinese culture, the dragon is the symbol of the Chinese nation. The Nine Dragon Wall is the perfect combination of Chinese dragon culture and Chinese architectural art. It not only carries the totem significance of the dragon, but also demonstrates the outstanding skills and rich cultural connotations of ancient Chinese architecture.
At present, there are only three Nine-Dragon Walls from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including the Forbidden City in Beijing, Beihai Park and the Prince's Palace in Datong, remaining in China. These three dragon walls can be said to be treasures in ancient Chinese architecture.
It is rare to see a Nine Dragon Wall that embodies the spirit of the Chinese nation overseas. It is said that the Nine Dragon Wall in Mississauga Chinatown is the only Nine Dragon Wall outside Asia.
This double-sided glazed screen wall has a total of 18 dragons engraved on both sides. Dragons are also carved on the other simple tiles on the screen wall, the dragon bricks under the long walls and the brackets, so there are as many as 617 little dragons on the Nine Dragon Wall. All the materials and craftsmen used to make the Nine Dragon Wall come from China, which is a miracle.
