The City of Asylum "provides sanctuary to writers exiled under threat of death, imprisonment, or persecution in their native countries." Shortly after joining the project, Huang Xiang covered the outside of the house with calligraphy and poetry. Today it is one of the most visited landmarks in Pittsburgh.
