Some Tourists Think This ‘Fake Wall Of China’ Is Actually The Real Deal

Welcome to the Fake Wall of China!

A copycat version of the iconic structure has been built in a Chinese national park.

The knock-off was commissioned by the local government of Nanchang in Jiangxi Province.

Located in the Nanchang Ecological Park, visitors can walk along the 2.5-mile wall which looks exactly like the real deal.

And some tourists apparently said that it was very hard to tell it apart from the original 2,200-year-old version.

That’s despite the fact that the Nanchang edition is made with modern-day materials.

Tourism chiefs initially tried to play down that it was a copy and actually wanted to brand it as a “scenic corridor,” according to reports.

But local media were so impressed with the idea that they soon dubbed it the Great Wall’s little brother.

“It was built as a place where locals can come and exercise without having to travel too far from their homes,” said project organiser Chen Kui.

The original Great Wall, estimated to be 13,170-miles long, was built by soldiers during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) of Chinese history.

It was designed to protect the country against the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe.
