That's not WoW.
Just looks like generic fantasy theming to me.
So sure, World of Warcraft.
Can't say anything in those pictures strikes me as specifically WoW-inspired.

I recommend clicking the link as there are much more "wow" esque photos than what is in the OP

Like everyone else... they are just rearranging the furniture in Tolkien's attic.

Only those shoulder pads could have been envisioned by Blizzard.
These hit it on the head. The only and I mean only thing that remotely says WOW is the panda at the end and that's just because the current expansion has them. Even then look at where it's at. It just scream generic fantasy land to me.
Nothing really special or unique about WoW art. This theme park just looks like normal fantasy stuff...does it actually say Warcraft anywhere?
Bingo, while the inspiration for stuff like this is a bit obvious...Some of the screens in the article show it better. Fake Illidan and the drake being quite similar to Warcraft stuff. Some of the Starcraft stuff seems similar, too. But generally these all seem to be rather generic fantasy knockoffs than anything straight from WoW.
Edit: There are definitely some, like the Blood Elf, straight from WoW.
It even says Starcraft...The StarCraft photos are much more blatant than the WoW ones.

Copyright does not exist in China.
They do what they want as long as it makes them money.
Yup hahaIt even says Starcraft...
This is pushing it, imo.

Also this place looks depressingly empty... specially for how much money they probably spent on it.
If they wanted to copy a popular MMO and make it a theme park why didn't they choose Star Wars The Old Rebublic?
or you know... Games workshop. Ehem
While Star Wars is a big brand, I wouldn't call TOR 'popular'.
