I'm not sure what it is, but its not the Kuznetsov (the only ship of that class) From the image here: http://www.modelarz.com.pl/images/214_kuznetsov.jpg, the deck layout is different on the Kuznetsov. Whatever it is, its not a full scale model of any U.S. carrier of that deck design. Could be any carrier from Forrestal class through the Nimitz class.

It is, in fact, a Nimitz class replica. This is part of the Orient Green Boat theme park. The carrier is located in what is known as the "military education center" section of the park.

China does have the Soviet carrier Minsk on dispay at the Minsk World theme park:

Nice research work "pete592" re Orient Green Boat theme park. I was aware of some of those details such as the "military education center", but not the name of the theme park. Thanks Shadrack.
