Changsha has a stone monument to Mao Zedong who was born nearby, but stone was mined elsewhere and then assembled here. Zhengzhou has an actual stone carving of two mythical emperors that traditionally represent the "founding fathers" of Chinese civilisation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_Huang_Zisun
Maybe it is just because it isn't as weathered, but that Mao statue looks way better than Mt. Rushmore.
