Introduction
The Manneken Pis is a place that visitors to Brussels must visit. The image of this cute child who is peeing is made of bronze. It is located at the corner of Wenquan Street and Oak Street in the downtown area. It is filled with tourists all the year round. The peeing boy is deeply loved by the people of the world. Since the French King Louis XV sent him a set of clothes, the heads of state visiting Belgium will send him a set of traditional national costumes. Now it has become a practice.

The monument of the little Hero（Manneken Pis） was build in 1619.
Manneken Pis is a landmark small bronze sculpture in Brussels, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain's basin. It was designed by Hiëronymus Duquesnoy the Elder and put in place in 1618 or 1619.
This famous statute of a small boy taking a pee embodies the rebellious spirit of Brussels. Initially this statue was a fountain that distributed drinking water starting in the 15th century. Depending on the day he may be decked out in an outfit. His wardrobe is changed on 23 fixed dates with additional clothing dates added. At present the statue has 900 outfits with the Museum of the City of Brussels displaying 100 of these suits.
The most galvinizing national symbol for Belgium is a statue of a peeing baby. It's a great testament to the quirky people, and the various outfits they use to dress the baby are hilarious.
