Yangzhong Puffer Fish

People's Republic of China

Yangzhong Puffer Fish

The Yangzhong Puffer Fish, also known as the Puffer Fish Tower, is a 295 ft (90 m) long bronze statue in the shape of the puffer fish. Weighing 2,300 tons and reportedly costing $11 million, this statue sits on the banks of the Yangtze River in Yangzhong, Jiangsu, China. Work on this project was completed in 2013. Yangzhong is a centre for pufferfish aquaculture and cuisine. As of 2013 it was the largest steel-framework sculpture in China, and perhaps the entire world.
