French photographer Francois Prost created a unique photo project in which he compared the famous Paris and its sights with the Chinese city-copy of Paris. China embodied all the best that is in Paris in the Chinese city of Tianchencheng. A copy of the famous "city of love" is so similar to the original that from one kind of it becomes a bit uncomfortable.
Tianducheng is a residential complex in the suburbs of Hangzhou, China. The construction of the city began in 2007 for a population of 10,000 people. As the French themselves admit, architectural monuments are very similar to each other, but they have a completely different context.
So, meet the 25 best Chinese copies of Paris.

With the phrase "Chinese fake" for some reason, a cheap thing suddenly comes to mind, which will break down in a day, or tasteless clothes, which can be thrown out in a week. Anything, just not elegant paintings, palaces, sculptures and monuments of architecture. It's a pity. Chinese masters are able to enchant, delight, surprise and even compete with many architects, engineers, builders and people of other professions.
