A NZ$400m (£140m, 164m euro, US$202m) New Zealand-themed visitor attraction is to be built Qufu, China - the birthplace of Confucius.
The 25sq km New Zealand Gardens project will boast a replica Maori village, rock climbing facilities, a vineyard, a kiwifruit orchard, a dairy farm and a luxury golf resort.
The brainchild of a Chinese developer based in New Zealand, the project's ultimate goal is to boost tourism to New Zealand by giving Chinese visitors a little taste of the country.
The New Zealand tourism ministry do not formally back the project, but are known to support it, as it could potentially boost long-haul tourism from China - already New Zealand's fourth biggest market.
The first phase of the project is scheduled to open in June and 1.5 million visitors are expected in the first year.
