A 13 Mile long dragon is under construction in Xinzheng city, Henan province.
“The finished dragon is to wear 5.6 million scales of jade or gold-coated bronze. People can pay to carve words on the scales, and inside the body there will be trains and clubs. It will be a place for cultural activities and relaxation,” he said.
“I am not afraid of attacks. Our ancestors built the Great Wall, and now I am building the Great Dragon. I will succeed.”
