背景知识：

杭州人民曾把杭州分成阿里巴巴程序员聚集区、西湖风景区及假巴黎风景区等。这个风景区除了塞纳河，巴黎的各种建筑，园林，喷泉，雕塑，甚至巴黎铁塔，凡尔赛宫，都以高度还原的姿态出现在这里。

据外媒不完全统计，中国目前有 2 座悉尼歌剧院，3 座埃菲尔铁塔，6 座巴黎凯旋门，还有不下 10 座的美国国会大厦。甚至曾有外媒发文称，“在中国，一下午可逛遍巴黎、威尼斯。”

视频文本：

Paris, without people? No, this isn’t an apocalypse. This is Paris in China. Tianducheng is a luxury real estate development and a Paris look-a-like located in Hangzhou, China. As China has become the world’s fastest growing economy, real estate developments popped up all over the country, some modeled from famous western cities. This Chinese Paris started construction in 2007. And while the city is built to hold 10,000 people, only 2000 live there full time, making it feel more like a ghost town. The lack of people could be linked to where Tianducheng is located, surrounded by miles and miles of farm land. The Eiffel Tower replica is about 1/3 the size of the original, it’s stands surround by copycat French architecture. And just like the original, it’s a great backdrop for newlyweds looking for everlasting memory. You know, they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
