'Qin Shu Bao' sculpture by Aw Eng Kwang in front of the Hilton Hotel, Orchard Road, Singapore

---

Qin Shu Bao together with Wei Chi Jing De (statue on the other end) were generals during the Tang Dynasty in 618 AD. Possessed with special powers, they were called upon to project the Emperor Tang Tai Zong, from the Dragon King who swore vengeance on the Emperor during a conflict. In popular Chinese belief, Qin Shu Bao and Wei Ching Jing De are regarded as guardians of doorways. These statues were built in 1975 and weigh 3 tons each.
