If you see the words 'Chinese theme park' think lots of life size 
statues, a few replica of old houses that you can walk through, and lots 
of shopping streets or even malls whith lots of restaurants and shops 
that sell souvenirs from all over China, like lama outfits for children 
with panda bags. all this filled with Chinese tourists that are making 
photo shots from each other in front of the houses, statues and in the 
restaurants. I trust the Chinese will equal the US in tastelessness.
