Wuxi, China to build a 88 meter tall statue of Jesus Christ.

At Ling Shan, on the shores of Taihu Lake, the city of Wuxi has built a 88m tall statue of the Buddha.  It is known as "the Big Buddha" to local expatriates and Western tourists.

Seeking to attract  Christian tourists to the city, the Wuxi government has decided to build a similarly-sized Christian theme park featuring a 88m tall "Big Jesus" -- it would be the biggest Jesus statue in mainland China.  The Big Jesus theme park will be built in Wuxi's Hui Shan Economic Development zone near its "O" software  sourcing park.
