 Chinese Year of the Rooster begins January 28th.

But was there ever anyone more of a rooster than this?


A statue of a giant rooster bearing a striking resemblance to the Trumpster has been erected outside a shopping mall in the northern Chinese city of Taiyuanl.  Note the hairdo and hand gestures.  Designed by Seattle-based Casey Latiolais, the twenty-three foot tall fiberglass sculpture was commissioned by a Beijing real estate company.


More Roosters of the World

Another giant cock will be shown in Beijing, this one coming via Lisbon where the over thirty-foot high creation of Joana Vaconcelos has been on display for the past month. 


Originally meant to be unveiled in Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic Games, the project was postponed due to the "political climate" in Brazil.  After Beijing, the rooster will go to Shanghai before returning home to Portugal

Here is another Portuguese Rooster.  This one by Rui Miragaia for the Martim Moniz park Lisbon.


This one is in Singapore:


And one last rooster at the Harbin Snow Festival.
