The Golden Water Mouth sits as a bronze fountain at the corner of Hay and George Streets, shaped like a stylized dragon head spilling water into a basin. Sculpted by Amy Lee in nineteen ninety-nine, it marks the gateway to Sydney’s Chinatown. The work commemorates the contribution of Chinese immigrants to the city, blending traditional motifs with local metalwork. Shoppers and tourists often stop here to toss coins into the basin, creating a small, persistent layer of metal at the bottom of the pool.
