A man takes a picture of a tower modelled on the Eiffel Tower in Hangzhou, host city of the 2022 Asian Games, in China’s eastern Zhejiang province on September 22, 2023/AFPPix: As decorative fountains frame a view of the Eiffel Tower and a fashionable young woman walks a poodle nearby, you might mistake China's Tianducheng neighbourhood for Paris -- if not for the concrete towers in the distance and Chinese signs on every shopfront.
Pensioners clutching plastic bags of groceries pause to take in the sights under a grey sky, while weathered horse statues rear up from a fountain that could have come out of the Jardin du Luxembourg. The tower is one of many replicas of Western architecture that dot the country where developers once looked to Europe and North America for inspiration, including a British-inspired Thames Town in Shanghai and a subtropical Interlaken in tech hub Shenzhen.
