La Palma monument honors Chinese writer Chen Ping

In Barlovento, La Palma, a unique monument featuring three distinctive tubes serves as a tribute to the Chinese writer Chen Ping, who used the literary pseudonym Sanmao.

The structure's design is a direct reference to the famous Chinese comic character Sanmao, created by Zhang Leping. The name Sanmao translates to “three hairs,” which is represented by the three tubes atop the monument. The site commemorates the connection between the writer and the island, marking a symbolic location linked to her life and travels.
