China is fast becoming a land of giants—giant statues, that is. Although the enormous golden Chairman Mao in Henan Province was demolished before it was completed earlier this year, more huge sculptures are springing up. In June, the Jingzhou Tourism Investment and Development Group unveiled a 48m-high statue of Guan Yu, a deified warrior hero of the Three Kingdoms period; it weighs more than 1,200 tons and its 10m-high base is covered in 4,000 pieces of bronze, reports Sina.com. Also entertaining the internet is the 22m-high, 800,000 yuan ($120,000) golden statue of a Yellow River carp that was erected this summer in front of the Shifo Art Community in Zhengzhou, Henan. Online wags have suggested that it would best serve as a meal for Guan Yu.
