Tower Bridge in Suzhou, China
The replica is 40 meters high. The only difference between the copy and the original tower is that the replica has twice as many towers as the original version and lacks raising mechanisms that allow boats to pass under the bridge.
Mount Rushmore in Chongqing, China
The monument is located in one of the parks of Chongqing that was the capital of China from 1937 till 1945. It was built in honor of American soldiers who helped China in the war against Japan.

I knew about the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee. I saw it back in 1971 when my husband and I went on our honeymoon. Didn't go in though.
