The latest victim of Chinese copycat culture: the Tower Bridge of London.

The shanzhai Tower Bridge was recently unveiled in Suzhou's Xiangcheng district. The replica features four five-story, 40-meter-tall towers (twice as many as the original landmark's) and an elevator that can take tourists to the top.
