Replica of an Entire Austrian Village
A Chinese mining tycoon spent US$940 million to build a complete replica of picturesque Austrian village Hallstatt in Huzhou, Guangdong, near the Pearl River Delta. Crazy you say? It’s going to make a bucket of money for the entrepreneur and send thousands of Chinese tourists to see the real McCoy!
Here’s a Reuters video report. http://www.reuters.com/video/2012/06/04/born-in-austria-made-in-china?videoId=235812726
What a waste of money, just like the Chinese tycoon who wants to buy an island in Iceland, who is going to go there?
