16 Tourist Spots That China Ripped Off From The Rest Of The World

A replica of the Statue of Liberty in Shenyang, North east China has been doing the rounds on Twitter this morning.

But this isn't the first time that we've seen large-scale replicas of global tourist destinations in China.

The Asian giant with a rich cultural heritage of its own, has also incorporated architectural styles from around the world and in some instances tried to replicate Paris and towns in England.

Shanghai rolled out a "One city, Nine Towns" scheme with small towns built in a different international style.

We compiled 16 spots that China ripped off - admittedly some of these are part of larger theme parks.
