Prince Charles has revealed plans for a makeover for London's Chinatown, including a new pagoda, street markets and golden lanterns.
The Prince of Wales' architectural foundation has released a detailed report on how to use fung shui to revamp the tiny, historic quarter.
The prince was invited to take part in the revamp by Westminster City Council, the borough where Chinatown is located.
The report, released last month by The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment, recommends installing nine carved wooden dragons at nine entrances to London's Chinatown as a way to improve the chi, or life force, flowing through the district. They are also a way of increasing visibility for the district.
Other recommended Chinese touches include transforming barren Newport Place square at the eastern end into a Chinese palace garden. The report calls for tree planting to improve the air and adding a 'heaven's pool' of circulating water.
A new or improved pagoda for the square should be commissioned through links with the Beijing business community in order to showcase traditional Chinese craftsmanship, the report says. And a narrow, 300-year-old alley running off the square could be remodelled to resemble a Beijing hutong.
