Les résidents locaux à pied au-delà de la pierre des sculptures des présidents des États-Unis depuis Chines réplique du Mount Rushmore National Memorial couverte de végétation à
Local residents walk past the stone carvings of U.S. Presidents from Chinas replica of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial covered with vegetation at Shaping Park in Chongqing, China, 8 February 2014. As an iconic symbol of presidential greatness, Mount Rushmore has appeared in works of fiction, and has been discussed or depicted in other popular works. It attracts nearly three million people annually. However, it still could not escape the destiny of being replicated in China. A small copycat of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial was built at Shaping Park in southwest Chinas Chongqing Municipality. Different from the good fame of the original one, the downsized stone carvings are now covered with thick vegetation, seeming to have lost popularity and to be lack of maintenance. Sculpted by Danish-American Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum, Mount Rushmore, located near Keystone, South Dakota, in the United States, features sculptures of the heads of four United States Presidents: George Washington (1732¨C1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743¨C1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858¨C1919) and Abraham Lincoln (1809¨C1865).
