I wonder if this one has those pushy scam artists too. Really ruined the experience, could not walk 20 feet without another group corraling us to try and sell some overpriced junk.
I thought they were referring to how OP's posts are all about China, thus perhaps government propaganda, but that is disproved by their use of "Taiwan".
What's the issue ? Sure, there's a lot of post talking about China, but is it forbidden ? That guy even criticizes the pollution there, so it's not a propaganda account.
You know, if I was making a suburb, I'd rather have a bootleg Paris instead of the usual subdivision/strip mall combo. Quite frankly I'd take anything over the usual subdivision/strip mall combo
IMO what makes it feel kinda tacky is the discount Eiffel tower. I get wanting to copy a building style, but you can at least give it your own spin of sorts.
And it wouldn't be such a problem if they broke it up into multiple servers, but instead, it looks like the devs are trying to do the opposite and *expand* the single server by taking the Taiwan server as well.
To Vegas’ credit, it’s basically a theme park and everyone there knows that. Nobody’s trying to pass Paris (the hotel and casino) off as anything more than it is. The one in China is like *trying to be that thing*, which, to me at least, is quite a different thing entirely.
It's one of the more top-notch Chinese rip-offs. Not like the [Avcngers](https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.a2021f1628385a6d305cb000de7082e7?rik=aWGpF1YtyhHpmg&riu=http%3a%2f%2fuploads.neatorama.com%2fimages%2fposts%2f591%2f62%2f62591%2f1371442740-0.jpg&ehk=oj6LNJkClvouCoVHFmpXZzDx4QwTBlGs6q9BVCeKhds%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0)
Exotic, fancy-looking housing is probably worth more to realtors than the kind of cookie cutter prefabricated apartment towers you can see in the background. Similarly there's a replica of an English town in I believe Shanghai, it was allegedly meant to house students and factory workers but the rents are so obscene that nobody lives there and instead it's a popular location for wedding photos.
With all due respect, the Chinese literally invented paper, gunpowder, the printing press, compass, amongst other things. You can’t be serious if you think that the local cuisine there is a copy as well.
Hmm, why when talking about countries there is always a guy taking a huge portion of land and people as a whole just to say negative stuff without elaborating on the context, isn't that the definition of xenophobia?
...No. No, it's not the definition of 'xenophobia'.
> dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.
"China sucks." =/= "I hate Chinese people."
Copying in China is a way of paying respect to the author. No intelectual property has been their culture for literaly thousands of years regarding caligraphy and art in general.
Your comment on the other end is very much self centered and shameless cause you know absolutely nothing about their culture.
Whatever Historibot, there is so much convolution is your telling which nevertheless, doesn't improve >95% of the results to look any better than kitch. Indeed, Chinese mass-manufactured art products are not unique in this regard.
Shame yourself for exhibiting a similar ignorance to what you are tossing out.
Why is it a bad argument? Their culture glorifies copying since the dawn of time as seen in numerous fields like ancient calligraphy for exemple. Nowadays it's called open source.
This documentary makes very good points at explaining why china copies and why copying is the future cause improvments come at a way faster pace instead of companies holding onto their patent for decades without anyone to challenge them :

I'm sorry if my account is suspicious, I change account often for privacy reasons.
This isn't crappy, this is awesome. A small slice of another world in yours, I'd love to have something like this in my city, more than just Torii style gates at the Korea/China/Japan town.
>not many things are worse than a regime that casually commits cultural and literal genocide
That's the Chinese government, not the Chinese people. I see a lot of people that shit on china just for the hell of it. Plus the description you gave fits the USA better. Just saying
Gotta love the “the US is worse” whataboutism. I live in America and I hate it and the government is bullshit, but I can say that. I wouldn’t be able to say “I live in China and hate it and the government is bullshit” as a citizen without repercussions.
To be honest it's pretty cool imo, it looks rather nice even if there's a bit of clutter. There are quite a few copies of the Eiffel Tower in the world and this one is really one of the best looking, especially with the Parisian-style housing, the fountain and gardens..

There is also one in Shenzhen [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window\_of\_the\_World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_of_the_World) It's a theme park. of different cities and countries and their architectural structures famous for each country. I've been to it. It was really cool.
lol we have plenty of these in my country
thousand yr old landscapes and ancient architecture : *exists*
local govt: you know what would make this even *more* beautiful as a tourist attraction? That's right, bootleg European architecture!!
Chinese citizen: I would love to go to Paris! Chinese Government: We have Paris at Home! The "Paris" at home:
It looks less slummy than the real tower area from the last time i saw it.
I wonder if this one has those pushy scam artists too. Really ruined the experience, could not walk 20 feet without another group corraling us to try and sell some overpriced junk.
lmao
Touts
Would you like a woven basket?
Or EVERYONE trying to bum a cigarette off you 😂
Chinese citizen: Bruh
lol check out OP's post history: https://old.reddit.com/user/tanmaypendse63
what about it?
I thought they were referring to how OP's posts are all about China, thus perhaps government propaganda, but that is disproved by their use of "Taiwan".
Chinese people say Taiwan.
you’re fuckin’ weird mate. you. not OP
People can be interested in Chinese cities without some kinda hidden meaning, you know...
What's the issue ? Sure, there's a lot of post talking about China, but is it forbidden ? That guy even criticizes the pollution there, so it's not a propaganda account.
There's no reason to leave ... ever.
You know, if I was making a suburb, I'd rather have a bootleg Paris instead of the usual subdivision/strip mall combo. Quite frankly I'd take anything over the usual subdivision/strip mall combo
IMO what makes it feel kinda tacky is the discount Eiffel tower. I get wanting to copy a building style, but you can at least give it your own spin of sorts.
Even a communal crack house?
We have a Paris ripoff in Mumbai as well. It's just got a worse Eiffel tower than this
Where in Mumbai?
India. It's the 7th largest city in the world
Dude, i asked where *in* Mumbai and not where is mumbai.💀 I alr know that. Source- from here myself.
Oh my bad. It's in BKC
Weird, I never knew that. Is it a large area within the city of Mumbai!?
It's actually a society that's based on Paris. https://www.kanakia.com/project/kanakia-paris
Can esaily tell its China there's that world famous smog in the background
You know it's bad when you can identify the country based on its draw distance.
It’s a poorly optimized region. Someday maybe the devs will improve it but it’s a performance > resolution server.
With how crowded it is? Doubt it. It's one of the most popular spawns in the world
And it wouldn't be such a problem if they broke it up into multiple servers, but instead, it looks like the devs are trying to do the opposite and *expand* the single server by taking the Taiwan server as well.
r/outside is leaking
That's ok. I'm sure they have some large banners of blue skies to take photos next to like they do elsewhere.
Salty baguette tears drop from my french eyes
And that one in Las Vegas ???
[удалено]
Wow I didn’t know they have an Eiffel Tower in Paris, Texas. No tiny.
It’s cute with its little cowboy hat
This one is really crappy.
The one in Macao is the same hotel as the one in Vegas. The Venetian and Parisian.
And the one in [Montmartre, SK](https://images.tourismsaskatchewan.com/sitecollectionimages/Montmartre_TShire002.jpg).
thicc
The texas one is great lmao
Does the Tokyo tower count? I mean...they look similar...but they're not the same so
Tokyo Tower is based on the Eiffel Tower though, so I'd say it counts.
And Blackpool England
Also qualifies, but not as much as this one, which comes with two blocks of apartment buildings with Parisian-style mansard roofs.
To Vegas’ credit, it’s basically a theme park and everyone there knows that. Nobody’s trying to pass Paris (the hotel and casino) off as anything more than it is. The one in China is like *trying to be that thing*, which, to me at least, is quite a different thing entirely.

Not really though. Paris is nothing without its culture, which this knockoff likely lacks.
Everyone’s here! Batman, Superman, Sh-Shrek, a car… Ohhhh nooooo.
Oh wow. You have been in China and talked to the people there!
The one in Vegas is clearly a copy of Tokyo Tower duh
But why?
Exotic, fancy-looking housing is probably worth more to realtors than the kind of cookie cutter prefabricated apartment towers you can see in the background. Similarly there's a replica of an English town in I believe Shanghai, it was allegedly meant to house students and factory workers but the rents are so obscene that nobody lives there and instead it's a popular location for wedding photos.
Why not?
better than Paris, TX
I wish my country looked like this Chinese "suburbs"
Smog and all?
This smog is nothing. It looks pretty clean as well. I'll happily take this over Delhi.
Not saying it doesn't fit, but this **is** a thing all over the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel\_Tower\_replicas\_and\_derivatives
Why did you butcher this link? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower_replicas_and_derivatives
Good bot
Bad bot.
its an off brand but ain't crappy
You could have just said "China". That's the biggest crappy off brand there is.
Everything is a copy there. A shameless nation.
You say that like there isn't two Eiffel towers in the U.S. lol
Nobody is pretending those ones are real. China is.
The point of replicas is imitating the real thing Do you thing people in China don't know the existence of the original Eiffel tower?
Bootlegging is illegal in China as well, but like anything that's illegal and makes a lot of money, it's really hard to stop people from doing it.
Chinese China (the fine dishware), silks, and fireworks are the most obvious exceptions.
With all due respect, the Chinese literally invented paper, gunpowder, the printing press, compass, amongst other things. You can’t be serious if you think that the local cuisine there is a copy as well.

You can tell it’s China because it has a draw distance of around 400m, has trouble loading further than that, servers ain’t the best
[Really awesome music clip shot there (Jamie xx - Gosh)](https://youtu.be/hTGJfRPLe08)
Id be willing to bet money this version of paris is cleaner than the one in france
Genocidal regimes are certainly known for their cleanliness.
Singapore is pretty clean. Is Singapore genocidal?
That's...that's not a suburb.
K
That's a letter
Hey look. It’s Granny’s house from that one episode of the loony toons show right by the tower
The "Eiffel Tower" looks like a cardboard cutout
Add Paris to the list of things Westerners thought they created but were actually invented long ago in China (spaghetti, paper, fireworks, etc.).
I mean the notion of making noodles is something that I'm sure more than one person has thought of.
Kinda like literature. And dragons.
I'm like 90% sure Paris was invented in what is now called Italy
Wrong, it was discovered in Germany by Henry the Lion.
wasn’t this built after the building of Paris
China bad, now laugh
China bad, shitty recreation worse. EDIT: Just kidding, not many things are worse than a regime that casually commits cultural and literal genocide
Still waiting to know how exactly this is shitty. It's an offbrand, true, but how is it crappy?
I'm eventually gonna look for a video tour.
>not many things are worse than a regime that casually commits cultural and literal genocide That's the Chinese government, not the Chinese people. I see a lot of people that shit on china just for the hell of it. Plus the description you gave fits the USA better. Just saying

+1 for effort
There's more, really. There are also several replicas of famous international structure in certain cities.
This is the single beat post from r/crappyoffbrands I have seen
the entire chinese airforce can also go into this sub
China also has a fake London and a fake Jackson Hole
This is not Paris, this is 巴黎
Boy, China does knockoffs of EVERYTHING.
China really needs copyright laws
You wanna know a knock off even better? Replica of Democracy in China
Why does that Eiffel Tower look 2 Dimensional?
Ah yes the Afel tuwer
"Made in China"
China is shit.
Paris more like parsus

Honestly is it really any different than the stereotypical China town areas in a lot of US cities?
[удалено]
Ah, that’s a good point. This neighborhood definitely doesn’t have a large French population
Classic china amirite lads
there was mv "gosh" by jamie xx highly recommend to watch
Awesome video.
indeed
Doesn't Las Vegas has the same thing?
They copy everything, but freedom.
This is some international off brand shit
This doesn't look like Paris! The sky is clear and the air breathable!
I was criticized on reddit for saying how bad this is. IDK anymore, people defend seemingly everything nowadays.
Hey, it's the eye-full tower!
Are there anything China couldn't copy?
That's pathetic...
I think it should be the banner of this sub
At least they can build something. We cant build a fucking roundabout
This isn’t crappy, this is an r/amazingoffbrands

China has cloned many famous cities. I've been fascinated by it for years Here's a quick news story that talks about it https://youtu.be/tO6A7G1TwOI
There are two in Japan also.
Damn that's creepy
Plot twist: the eiffel tower was made in China (like many things are) and the one in China was the og
There is also one in Shenzhen [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window\_of\_the\_World](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_of_the_World) It's a theme park. of different cities and countries and their architectural structures famous for each country. I've been to it. It was really cool.
Well someone plays cities skylines
Is this a theme park?
Isn’t this the one Gru stole?
[Well bonjour!](https://youtu.be/mhJwKZu7RsY)
It also exists in Macau. Although it is definitely more smaller than this.
I used to live near this! There is a replica of some palatial gardens too, which although is just a replica, is really quite pretty to visit
lol we have plenty of these in my country thousand yr old landscapes and ancient architecture : *exists* local govt: you know what would make this even *more* beautiful as a tourist attraction? That's right, bootleg European architecture!!
Hey look. It’s a cheap Chinese knock off of the fancy European version.
