A copy of Paris - the city of Tianducheng.

In China, not far from Shanghai, in 2007, an almost exact copy of Paris was erected - the city of Tianducheng. It has the Eiffel Tower - 110 meters high (almost 3 times smaller than the original), a reduced copy of the Champs Elysees and the Luxembourg Gardens, residential buildings, copies of expensive houses from the center of Paris. The city was designed to accommodate 10 thousand people. A few years later, it became a ghost - only 2 thousand people live in it. Of these, 80% are the poor and the military, to whom the local authorities provided housing for temporary use "until the city is fully populated."
