Eiffel Tower replica in Hangzhou
A suburb of Hangzhou in East China's Zhejiang province rose to fame overnight after photos highlighting a copycat of the Eiffel Tower was spread online.
The Tianducheng development in Hangzhou started construction in 2007 and was known as a knockoff of Paris with Parisian houses and a scaled replica of the Eiffel Tower standing 108 meters high.
The downsized replication of the Eiffel Tower is surrounded by vegetable fields and residential apartment buildings in Tianducheng.
