  • WUHAN, CHINA - NOVEMBER 08: An unfinished replica of Washington DC's Capitol Building stands on November 8, 2015 in Wuhan, China. An impressive replica of the US Capitol Building has stood dormant in the city of Wuhan for several years now. Originally intended to be used as a luxury hotel in 2007, construction halted after financing for the building dried up. The building is smaller than the original with only five floors, and the 535 members of the US Congress would probably not be able to stand under its cupola. Yet it showcases the same dome and Corinthian columns as the US version. The abandoned project has not gone to waste for everybody however. Its courtyard has been used by a driving school to drive and park, and local residents use its grounds to grow vegetables.  (Photo by Lucas Schifres/Getty Images)

An impressive replica of the US Capitol Building has stood dormant in the city of Wuhan for several years now. Originally intended to be used as a luxury hotel in 2007, construction halted after financing for the building dried up. The building is smaller than the original with only five floors, and the 535 members of the US Congress would probably not be able to stand under its cupola. Yet it showcases the same dome and Corinthian columns as the US version. The abandoned project has not gone to waste for everybody however. Its courtyard has been used by a driving school to drive and park, and local residents use its grounds to grow vegetables.  (Photo by Lucas Schifres/Getty Images)

An impressive replica of the US Capitol Building has stood dormant in the city of Wuhan for several years now. Originally intended to be used as a luxury hotel in 2007, construction halted after financing for the building dried up. The building is smaller than the original with only five floors, and the 535 members of the US Congress would probably not be able to stand under its cupola. Yet it showcases the same dome and Corinthian columns as the US version. The abandoned project has not gone to waste for everybody however. Its courtyard has been used by a driving school to drive and park, and local residents use its grounds to grow vegetables.  (Photo by Lucas Schifres/Getty Images)
