I Visited China’s $1 Billion Dollar Fake Paris (Tianducheng) 🇨🇳

In this video, we travel to Tianducheng, a Paris-inspired city located around 1 hour by bullet train from Shanghai. Often labelled as a ghost town, Tianducheng is famous for its Eiffel Tower replica, European-style streets, and Haussmann-inspired architecture.

I dive straight in to explore what this place is really like today. While it once struggled with low occupancy, things are changing fast — more people are moving in, businesses are opening, and the city feels far more alive than its reputation suggests.

I wanted to see just how similar this place is to the real Paris — from the layout and buildings to the atmosphere on the streets. It was genuinely fascinating walking around, exploring the architecture, and talking to locals who now call this place home.

This is a raw, honest, and unfiltered look at one of China’s most unusual cities. No hype — just real impressions, real conversations, and a genuine look at what life is like in China’s version of Paris.
