Statues Diplomacy

The University of Nottingham was the first foreign university to establish an independent campus in China in 2004. It chose Ningbo. Nottingham's sister city of Ningbo sent two Chinese guardian lions as a gift. In return, Nottingham will recaste James Woodford's bronze Robin Hood (1952) near Nottingham Castle and fly the copy to Ningbo. It will be unveiled during the Nottingham trade mission to Ningbo in early November (CLICK).
