China has built a replica of Paris

Sitting on the outskirts of Hangzhou, China is what locals call “Little Paris.” This luxury real estate development is an architectural and engineering feat, complete with an Eiffel Tower replica. Though only one-third of the original’s size, it’s still the second largest homage after the one at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel in the USA. There’s also an Arc de Triomphe, a Champs Elysées, a fountain from the Jardin du Luxembourg, and even close-to-perfect versions of the French capital’s boulevards and neoclassical architecture.
