Tianducheng (杭州天都城), pictured below, is a city in China modeled after Paris. It is almost completely abandoned now.

See the thread for more replicas!

This is a replica of London's Tower Bridge in the Chinese city of Suzhou.

China's Hallstatt, modeled after the small town of Hallstatt in Austria.

Thames Town, named after the River Thames in London. The architecture is themed according to classic British market town styles.

Also abandoned, mostly used for wedding pics.

Their very own Venice.

And a full-size replica of the Great Sphinx in Chuzhou, Anhui province.

Why is this so creepy?

There's Manhattan too. Half-built, also abandoned.
