Tian Ducheng is a luxury real estate development in Hongdao, China, designed to mimic Paris. Despite its capacity for 10,000 residents, only 2,000 live there, giving it a ghost town feel. This is partly due to its remote location surrounded by farmland. The development features a replica of the Eiffel Tower and French-style architecture, making it a popular spot for wedding photos.
