There's the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Elysee, and the Neptune Fountain at Versailles… But hang on a moment! This isn't Paris, it's Tianducheng – a luxury development in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
Built in 2007, this real estate project mimics the beauty of Paris with its many iconic landmarks. Tourists from all across the country come to Tianducheng to experience the charm of the French capital without having to fly thousands of kilometers to Paris, while overseas travelers come to compare the similarities and differences between the French City of Lights and its Chinese counterpart.
