The two Chinese Warriors guard the north end of the Sister Cities International Bridge, a pedestrian walkway over Brush Creek. Originally, these were concrete figures that were donated to the city by their sister city, X’ian, China in 2000. Unfortunately, the originals were damaged several times before it was decided to replace them. These bronze replicas became those replacements in 2005.
