Cloned London Tower Bridge In Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China

And, of course, the Chinese model has twice as many towers as the original version spanning the River Thames. London is not the only city to have inspired builders in Suzhou. Sitting about 200 miles north-west of Shanghai, the area has become well known for cloning other world-famous landmarks. The river through the city also has its own Sydney Harbour Bridge, as well as a copy-cat Alexandre III Bridge straight out of the French capital, Paris. On top of that, the area boasts a Dutch town complete with windmill and Dutch-style housing. Suzhou is often dubbed the 'Venice of the East' and has been an important hub of China's silk industry for around a thousand years.
The original Tower Bridge dates back to 1896 and remains one of the most iconic crossing points over the river Thames. A colossal 11,000 tonnes of steel help provide the framework to the tower which took eight years to build.
