A replica of the Statue of Liberty in Shenyang, Northeast China, has been making the rounds on Twitter this morning.
But this isn't the first time we've seen large-scale replicas of global tourist destinations in China.

EGYPT: A full-scale replica of the Sphinx sits in what will be a theme park on the outskirts of Shijiazhuang, Hebei province.
BUDDHAS: China has a replica of the 'Buddhas of Bamiyan' that were destroyed by the Taliban.
POLYNESIA: Replicas of the Moai statues carved by the Rapa Nui people in Easter Island can be seen in Beijing.
