The Houston suburb of Katy, Texas, is home to an exotic but little-known attraction: the country's only replica of China's Forbidden City. Known as the Forbidden Gardens, the attraction opened in 1996.

a travelogue:
Reportedly, Poon has planned a 60-foot observation pagoda and a lengthy model of the Great Wall of China. Someday, the park might also see a system of colored ponds, boat rides, a restaurant and a hotel. There are even rumors of a water park.
