Chinese artist’s ‘Golden Bridge on the Silk Road’ public square project wins support in Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev announced his support of Chinese artist Shu Yong’s Golden Bridge on the Silk Road public square project when meeting with the artist in the Kazakh capital of Astana on Friday, according to a report by the Xinhua News Agency.
Made from 20,000 golden-colored bricks each featuring the national flower of the many countries along the ancient Silk Road, the Golden Bridge on the Silk Road was created by Shu to celebrate China’s Belt and Road initiative.
Shu is currently working with Kazakh authorities to build a similar artwork for a public square project in Astana.
The president said that the government is currently deciding on a location for the project. Global Times
