In the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens in Donaustadt, Vienna's 22nd district
"For one thing, the stone carving art of Qingtian County enjoys a centuries-old reputation, known even to the Chinese emperors, as part of the Dragon Throne in the Forbidden City is decorated with such stone carvings.
Qingtian, on the other hand, is one of the places in the coastal provinces with particularly strong emigration. It is estimated that 30%-80% of the population emigrated overseas. As is typical of these emigration places, emigrants concentrate in certain places through 'recommendations' abroad." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qingtian Vienna is obviously one of those places. As my Chinese wife told me, most of the Chinese in Vienna's Chinese community come from this county.
