CW.352.VIKING BOER–CHINA WATCH – China’s Fake European Towns
What Happened To China’s Fake European Towns?

Aug 28, 2023 HANGZHOU
If you travel into the suburbs of Hangzhou, you’ll be greeted by a curious sight: a full-length replica of the Eiffel Tower, along with a knockoff Champs-Élysées from Paris to go along with it. There’s nowhere else in the world that you could’ve found someone with enough money and a lack of common sense to build such a thing. Only in China, and I’m grateful for their strange decision.
