The city council in the town of Oranienburg has approved the plan for the construction the first Chinatown in Germany at a decommissioned airport, according to Spiegel Online.
The 198 acre “Little China” will cost half a billion U.S. dollars to build. Its designer envisions a main gate in the front, Chinese style gardens with a pagoda, and a cultural center which replicates the Forbidden City in Beijing. A 16-foot high wall, resembling the Great Wall in China, will run on the periphery of this new Chinatown.
