Tianducheng (Chinese: 天都城; pinyin: Tiāndūchéng), officially Guangsha Tianducheng (Chinese: 广厦天都城; pinyin: Guǎngshà Tiāndūchéng), is a housing estate in Xingqiao Subdistrict, Linping District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China that is modeled after Paris. Once labeled a "ghost city," the estate has undergone significant growth since its early years. Originally planned to house 10,000 residents, its population increased from about 2,000 in 2013 to around 30,000 by 2017. The city has since expanded several times to accommodate rising demand.
