The downsized replication of Eiffel Tower is surrounded by vegetable fields and residential apartment buildings in Tianducheng, a small Chinese community replicating Paris, in Hangzhou city, east Chinas Zhejiang province, 7 October 2014. China's Tianducheng development in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang province, started construction in 2007 and was known as a knockoff of Paris with a scaled replica of the Eiffel Tower standing at 108 meters (354 ft) and Parisian houses. Although designed to accommodate at least 10 thousand people, Tianducheng remains sparsely populated and is now considered as a 'ghost town' with massive empty apartment buildings and disorderly vegetable fields around the tower.
