I always thought that DLA's and HKDL's castle are identical.

It has a classic look to resemble the Main Streets in other parks, but it's still distinctive enough. I honestly don't care that it has the characters incorporated, because I'm not so sure if Chinese are so familiar with US turn of the century towns.
