Statues, statues everywhere.
Some that are bears,
some that are chairs.
Some with broken hands,
Some with neckbands
Some really short
and some really tall.
Statues, statues, statues for all.
And now I'm clean out of rhymes and done being cheesy, so you just get a photo dump with occasional commentary.
The first commentary belongs to the red bear above in the photo with Tom. This bear-shaped statue is everywhere--always a different color and height. I could fill up 3 and a half blog posts with just this type of statue. I'll spare you.
Not only do they love their bear statues, but they love Piet Mondrian. We see likenesses of his work a lot. It was nice to find a package deal on these two common sightings.
A robot statue that roams the mall.
A panda with a cape.
Extra large sewing machine.
They love Garfield here. Lots of Garfield stores and statues.
This one was great, but we saw it only distantly from the van.
Knock-off Lego dude. Once again, we're reminded that intellectual property is not a thing here....
Two more pieces of evidence that this bear shape is popular.
Everyone should experience sitting on a prickly statue.
I understand each city has their own food, language and culture, maybe this is just a Changzhou thing....
But there are probably enough statues in Changzhou for everyone in American Fork to have their own. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but only a bit. Which one do you want?
I pick the zebra chair! My grandsons would love it :)
