Chinatown Square is a two-story outdoor mall. In the heart of it is the Pan-Asian Cultural Center and 12 beautiful Chinese zodiac statues.

Chinatown Square Zodiac Statues - There are 12 statues, one for every animal in the Chinese zodiac calender. Unlike the Greek zodiacs, that are determined by the month of birth; Chinese zodiacs are determined by the year of birth.
