I spotted this advertisement by the Beijing Tourism Administration in a subway station - is it just me or does the imagery look like Disneyland? I can spot a few of the seven dwarfs, Snow White and a (somewhat evil looking) Mickey Mouse. The castles in the background look suspiciously familar to Disneyland’s, too.

I wonder what the Beijing Tourism Administration was thinking when they made this poster - after all, isn’t there plenty of exciting imagery from Beijing’s tourist attractions they could use? e.g. pictures of the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube, etc.
