CHINA'S so-called "Dwarf Empire", also known as the "Kingdom of Little People", is as controversial as it sounds.<\/p>\n
The fantasy theme park is home to over 150 people of short stature who perform daily for tourists that flock to the bizarre site in the Yunnan province.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
The \u00a311million project started in 2009 and is staffed only by people shorter than 4ft3in, most of which have dwarfism.<\/p>\n
An hour\u2019s drive east of the city of Kunming in southwest China,\u00a0the long-time workers have created a tight-knit community inside the strange fairytale\u00a0kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The large site is filled with castles, amphitheatres and an entire replica of The Shire from\u00a0Lord of the Rings.<\/p>\n
There are Dr. Seuss style houses with crooked windows and mushroom roofs and a restaurant\u00a0inside an old passenger plane.<\/p>\n
