Sculptures compliment a desert scene in Northwest China

Considering the special geographical environment of Minqin and the landmark significance of the whole theme park, the sculptures are all made of GRC, stainless steel, carbon steel plate, cast iron and cast copper for the purpose of long-term preservation.
