The Sun City, South Africa

I had stayed in the Palace of the Golden Horses, Kuala Lumpur years ago. On 29 May 2013, I had the chance to stay in the Palace of the Lost City in the Sun City. Many alleged that the design of the Palace of the Golden Horses was inspired by the Palace of the Lost City.

The tour guide reminded us to have a close look at this wooden table at the entrance hall of the hotel built at a cost of US$1.0m in the late 70's.

Wow... Looks so obvious that the design of the palace of the golden horses was taken from palace of the lost city

I was told by the local tour guide that the Sun International, owner of Sun City did file a legal suit against owner of the Palace of the Golden Horses. Somehow, they lost the case.

i suppose one is a lost city and the other one is about horses. very hard to claim the design was plagiarised.
