The scarecrows that we know are often disfigured lumps propped up on a pole to scare away prying birds over farmland. A company developing a construction site in the Henan province of China decided to take things to the next level by making 200 such figures of straw, all in the shape of popular characters.

Local reports say that when the grounds are completed, it will be the site of a new wild animal safari. The straw figures were built as part of a soft opening to drum up interest.

Tons of tourists have visited so far to get their selfies with these guys:
