Australia to replicate full-sized Forbidden City

A Chinese tourist poses for a picture next to "Sky Wheel", a sculpture by Chinese artist Xu Hongfei, in central Sydney June 18, 2013. Australia's coastal Wyong region outside Sydney, a pretty stretch of pristine beaches and wildlife-filled wetlands, isn't high on the travel agenda of most Chinese tourists. But the local mayor and a Chinese businessman have big plans to change that - by building a A$500 million ($480 million) theme park that will include a full-size replica of Beijing's Forbidden City and a nine-storey temple housing a giant Buddha.[Photo/Agencies]
