Located in the grounds of and sponsored by the Crowne Plaza & Stalybridge Suites, Beejing was created by Jessica Perrin. "This Bee fuses two cultures in one harmonious piece. Jessica wanted to design a sculpture fit to stand in the courtyard of a Chinese emperor and celebrating the dragons found in the folklore and art of ancient China. The bright and vivid colours bring life to a Chines traditional style hosted in the heart of Manchester - allowing the art of two peoples to come together." The Crowne Plaza & Stalybridge Suites is a dual-branded 19-storey, 328 roomed hotel which opened in 2018.
