Dragon Gate

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:35:06

You're driving along the E4, 25km south of Gävle, when a strange apparition suddenly appears on the side of the motorway. Stone lions flank a mighty gate, a mini Great Wall surrounds a large courtyard with a Chinese pagoda–style half-hotel half-prison and replica terracotta warriors lurk in the semi-gloom inside the temple, adding to your impression of general eerieness if you're the only visitor (which is likely). We file this eccentric Chinese billionaire's project under 'Weird Sweden'.
