Scarecrows are usually a botched job that involves putting a few clothes and a hat on a stick.

However a festival at a construction site in Luoyang, central China's Henan province has taken scarecrows to the next level by creating modern and creative designs, the People's Daily Online reports.

The construction site is filled with around 100 designs including minions, kung-fu panda and even trains.

Scarecrows are often placed in open fields among other farm lands and stop crows from disturbing or feeding on growing crops and recently planted seeds.

Traditionally they are in the shape of humans.

A scarecrow in Chengdu, southwest China hit the headlines last month after it was revealed the decoy was actually a sex doll dressed up with clothing and other items.
