Why has an exact copy of an Austrian village been built in China?
A Chinese construction company has built an exact copy of the historic and picturesque village of Hallstatt in Austria. Known as 'Replica Hallstatt' or 'Hallstatt 2.0', the project is essentially a luxury residential area and tourist destination for the wealthy. It features churches, artificial lakes, and a perfect imitation of European architecture and cultural environments. The construction of this replica has caused mixed reactions in Austria as locals did not ask for permission. However, it has opened up new horizons for China's theme town and tourism industry.
