Tianducheng, officially Guangsha Tianducheng, is a housing estate in Xingqiao Subdistrict, Linping District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China that is modeled after Paris.[1]
Construction at Tianducheng began around 2007. Its central feature is 108m (354feet) replica of the Eiffel Tower and 31km² of Parisian-style architecture, fountains and landscaping. It opened in 2007, and can accommodate more than 10,000 residents.[2] Initial occupancy was low, with an estimated 2,000 people living in the development by 2013,[3] leading some to label it a ghost town.[4] By 2017, its population had grown to 30,000 and the development was expanded several times.[5] In 2023, Yes Theory visited it and published a Youtube video titled "I Explored China's Failed $1 Billion Copy of Paris (real city)" showing that, while it was less crowded than many other Chinese cities, it certainly wasn't a ghost town.
English musician Jamie xx filmed a music video for his song Gosh in Tianducheng.[6]
Huangheshan station on Line 3 of the Hangzhou Metro serving Tianducheng opened on February 22, 2022.[7]
