China has built its own fake replica of Paris and it’s called Tianducheng. This Mini Paris has its own Eiffel Tower, copies of Parisian parks and architecture, everything is recreated to look just like the real Paris. It is one of many China’s ghost cities. Initially a luxurious residency for around 10,000 people, it has long remained a deserted ghost city. But things are changing. Parisian photographer Francois Prost went there for his photo project The Paris Syndrome in which he took many photos of Tianducheng, and presented them side-by-side with photos of the real Paris. These photos show us that an entire city can be copied almost identically which makes you wonder, is there anything that cannot be replicated?

Pretty misleading title, he's not speechless, its a personal project for him and he's making observations. It should be presented as something interesting that starts discussion which is exactly what the photographer seems to feel. I get the feeling that many people will see the title and thumbnail and be "outraged."
he is definitely not speechless :)
MY CULTURE IS NOT YOUR GODDAMN CITY!!
W0w. I mean, a whole city was mostly replicated. That's actually pretty cool.
I agree. Also it doesn't take away from the fact that Paris is beautiful, they wanted to replicate it because of that very fact. Its not like people across the world are going to be like " Fuck going to Paris, we can just go to China they've got one there" XD
