The construction of the 60-metre-long and 20-metre-tall replica was finished in April on the outskirts of Shinjiazhuang, the provincial capital of Hebei.
The imitation is just a bit smaller than the original 73mX21m statue at the foot of Giza's Pyramid.
The Chinese Sphinx has irked the Egypt to the limit that the north African nation's Antiquities Minister Mohamed Ibrahim threatened to complain to Irina Bokova, the director general of the Unesco, last week.
The Egyptian government has called the Chinese imitation a violation of the 1972 World Heritage Convention and considers that it can affect the tourism in the already politically unstable country.
The cement and steel replica is "a bad imitation that belittles the original", Ibrahim told the Al Ahram daily, and added that he had also asked China to explain and apologise for their act.
In response, the Shijiazhuang authorities have distanced themselves from the construction calling it a purely private initiative.
The people related to the construction, however, said that the imitation would serve only as a temporary scene for shooting movies and television dramas.
The manager of the park told Xinhua that the Sphinx will be razed down once the shooting is over, but did not specify the date.
The official also offered apologies for the misunderstanding the structure might have caused, adding that the park "deeply respects the world cultural heritage".
