Nine Dragon Wall

Drawing of the Nine Dragon Wall by artist Sammy Yuen. The Nine Dragon Wall in Chicago, Illinois, is one of three dragon walls that exist outside of Beijing Forbidden City. 2024 is the year of the Dragon; the dragon itself is a symbol of both strength and selflessness. The nine dragons on the wall represent Yang: growth & 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.
