The mimic Eiffel Tower in Hangzhou city of East China has begun to be dismantled to make way for subway construction. Located in a residential community in Hangzhou and surrounded by a french-styled town, the mimic Eiffel Tower is one third of the size of the original Eiffel Tower in France. The Tower was built in 2007, and a lighting ceremony was held ahead of Christmas of that year. With a height of 108 meters, the body of the tower is made of steel and its weight is more than 1,000 tons. The tower was a hot place for new couples to take their wedding photos. The construction company said the mock Eiffel Tower will not disappear from the city altogether and will be reconstructed at a park to the north of the community.[Photo/CFP] |
