China's Latest Architectural Copycat: Egypt's Great Sphinx
Why travel to Giza when Shijiazhuang has its own noseless replica?
For those in China who'd like to explore the ruins of ancient Egypt but can't afford the trip, a road trip to the outskirts of Shijiazhuang may suffice.
According to Chinese media outlets, a one-to-one replica of the Great Sphinx of Giza, missing nose and all, has emerged in the Hebei province. It's part of an under-construction theme park connected to a film and television studio.
