The Great Sphinx has popped up in a most unexpected place -- East China's Anhui province.

A replica of the famous Egyptian statue was built for a World Cultural Heritage Expo Park in Chuzhou, Anhui province, huanqiu.com reported on Tuesday.

The construction of an animation and tourism creative park began on June 8, 2013. The expo park was the project of the creative park built by the Changcheng movie and television culture company.

The statue was built to scale and is the same size as the real Great Sphinx.
