The Heart of Asia Monument




The Heart of Asia Monument was completed in the late 1990's. A center tower measures over 14 meters encompassed by a marble circular platform about 60 meters in diameter. Surrounding the center platform are 49 smaller granite monuments about 2 meters tall and each one representing one of the Asian countries. The monument is located approximately 25 kilometers from the town of Urumqi, the capital of China's Xinjiang province.
