Qiang Kingdom Builders is an outreach to the Qiang people of China who live in the Sichuan province of China. The color scheme was derived from the brilliant costumes worn by the Qiang. The distinctive "Q" is used as a logo and "push-buttons" for the site. The red and yellow represent the colors of the Chinese flag, with the elements reminiscent of the brush strokes of oriental lettering. The Qiang towers are another unique part of their culture, so the image of the Jiaochang tower was added as a unifying motif throughout the site. The windows in the tower on the main menu actually light up when the mouse hovers over its corresponding menu item. Work began on August 31st in 1999 and finally went online on the 8th of August the following year.
