This mural, painted by the Cité Idéale Chinoise was added in 2006 on the junction between Boulevard and Rue Villon. Shi Qiren from Shanghai was selected as the painter, but 5 other Chinese artists are also represented.
The most beautiful section is on the corner of Rue Villon, where we can see a large lion sitting above all some current and ancient Chinese symbols: statues from the Qin dynasty, the Forbidden City, among others.
On the corner of the Boulevard des Etats-Unis, the balconies are also decorated with dragons and other traditional Chinese images.
The mural was painted by the Cité de la Création.
