Fake Great Walls of China; Replica Great Walls vs The Real One

in #cn7 years ago (edited)

China's most famous man-built structure is for the most part mainly located in Beijing as a world heritage site. What you might not have known, in recent years there have been a bunch of replicated great walls built in different Chinese cities. Some even attracting a considerable amount of tourists. Some are poorly built. Some are built in amusement parks including the sell of cotton candy and souvenirs. While some are built even rivaling the craftsmanship of the real one. The difference is that the fake ones, in some cases are more polished with a new look while others might seem a bit disheveled or littered. Nothing beats the real thing though, as the real Great Wall was constructed on high top mountainous areas. See for yourself and notice the differences.

Take a look at this one. It's the Shanzhai Great Wall in Chengdu, Sichuan (Replica) The ground is a lot smoother and still has a new shine.
