Optimus Prime Statue in Yunnan, China.



No one knows who built this 40-foot sculpture of Transformer’s Optimus Prime [wiki] in Yunnan, China - or why. From the website:

Deep in the mountainous regions of southern China, in a province named Yunnan, or “over the clouds”, by Emperor Wu in 109 BC due to its remoteness from the capital, there is a 40 ft statue of the new great Chinese leader, Optimus Prime. My pilgrimage to find him wasn’t without trial, but as they say:

Nothing of real value is easy.
