The Nine Dragon Wall in Chicago, IL, is one of three dragon walls that exist outside of Beijing Forbidden City. 2024 is the year of the Dragon; the dragon it-self is a symbol of both strength and self-lessness. The 9 dragons on the wall represent Yang, growth and expansion. The wall was brought to Chicago by Raymond Lee who immigrated to America when he was 15 and worked at a tofu factory before achieving the American Dream.
