A Kylin, one of the stone animals at the Sacred Path to the Ming Tombs in Nanjing, China. The mythical Kylin combines the features of a lion, ox, tiger and dragon. It is said to appear only with a benevolent and wise emperor, which is why all the emperors wanted them guarding their tombs.

After leaving Nanjing, the Silver Shadow sailed down the Yangtze to the East China Sea.
