There's a fake Paris in the middle of China.

Almost every architectural feature here is an exact replica of the original, from the Eiffel Tower to the gardens and landscaping. Parisian photographer Francois Prost visited Tianducheng and created a photo series called "Paris Syndrome," comparing the striking similarities between the two cities.

Below is a series of comparison photos; the original version in Paris is on the left, and the counterfeit version in Tianducheng is on the right.

Without Chinese characters, it's difficult to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit goods.
