Happy Valley

Image
I just found out that there are a couple of theme parks called Happy Valley in Beijing and Shenzhen, and construction in Shanghai and Chengdu. The one in Beijing was open to public in 2006, which is about 1 million sqm in area in Southeast Beijing. It was called "the frontier of cultural industry of Beijing, the classical of modern Chinese tourism, and an important symbol of experiential tourism in Beijing." The Lost Maya, Atlantis, and Aegean Harbor are made as "real and ancient" as they could. In most cases, they are out of scale and the vegetation is really weird, and out of the "original" context.

Erechtheion in Zhengzhou

Image
There is an "Erechtheion Temple" in West Economical Developing District of Zhengzhou, which was built around 1994 while now it's abandoned. Its program is uncertain and could be for entertainment, such as a club, a public bath house, etc. It's reported that it's from Erechtheion's "orignal" drawings.
