10 Weirdest Michael Jackson Statues You Won't Believe
6. Chinese Sculpture Park
A bronze figure of Jackson, arms outstretched with a smile on his face, is an oft-visited feature of the Guangzhou Sculpture Park in Guangzhou City, China. The singer/dancer extraordinaire visited a nearby town in the same province in 1987. After Jacksons death, the people rallied together and raised the funds needed to build a statue. The opening ceremony was also used as an opportunity to raise money for charity and spread Michaels message of love. The statue was sculpted by Zeng Kang Lu, who managed to uncannily capture the likeness of the entertainer. The Chinese and Hong Kong fan clubs later commissioned a copy of the statue and had it placed in the Overland Park Arboretum Botanical Garden in Kansas.
