In Nanjing, there are Balinese retreats and Italian villas. In the
southeastern city of Hangzhou, there are Venice and Zurich. In downtown
Beijing, everything is about Manhattan, with Soho, Central Park and Park
Avenue.

Shanghai's plan is among the most ambitious, calling for a ring of
satellite developments modeled after different parts of Europe,
including German, Czech, Spanish and Scandinavian districts, in addition
to the one that looks like London, known as Thames Town.

Share and enjoy,
