What is more special is that the Oriental Lion is trimmed from a single trunk without grafting. Most of the statue retains the rough, rough texture inherent in the log. Only head, nails and tail are polished.

However, the secret of wood material has not yet been revealed by the author. However, based on wood, many experts say that the statue is made of seaweed, a pine family native to Sichuan, Hubei province. 

For three years, Rui Yao and a group of 20 sculptors have worked hard in Myanmar. After completion, it crossed the 5,000 km mark to reach Wuhan’s Fortune Plaza Times Square of China in December 2015.
