A Chinese billionaire build two theme parks (sorta) in the US to celebrate Chinese/US frienship. ONe is near Houston and the other is in Seattle I think.

Anyway the park has a large army of terra cotta statues like these but they are abour 3/4 size. From a distance you can’t tell the difference.

About 3 04 4 people were visiting the day I went in midweek.
There were more employees than visitors.
