Cloned London Tower Bridge In Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China
|
China is well known for leading the world in exporting goods, but these pictures of its very own Tower Bridge show the country is not adverse to importing a historical monument or two. To the untrained eye, visitors to Suzhou in the east of China may well believe they have ended up 9,000km away by mistake. The city in the Jiangsu province now boasts its very own - almost identical - version of London's most iconic bridge.
As if that's not enough to stave off homesickness for English visitors, the reproduction of the bridge also boasts a cafe at the top promising 'English-style coffee'. All that differs between the two replicas is that the Chinese version lacks a raising mechanism to allow boats to pass underneath.
