Actually, they are stone-carved chairs. All the 11 chairs are 11 half naked women statues squating on both sides of the road. Some people say that those chairs reflect the beauty of art. While others say that they are just trashes. It is an insult to women and badly demages women's image. What do you think of those stone chairs, my friends? Art or trash?

I read some materials which said that these chairs might just be used to advertise for the houses in this community. The real estate developers and their houses have been known to many people in China at present. The advertisement is quite sucessful.

i don't think that is a good choice of art to be display on a public place, like a park or so,
specially if we take in to consideration the fact that it is china??? and china is a conservative nation compared with any other nation.

however, i don't think there is room for the extreme, like, (an insult to women), or (ask to have em trash).

so, i agree with Kevin they don't belong to a public place as the one on the picture.
