About Tianducheng
Where to stay in Tianducheng
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Hangzhou holds the hotels. Tianducheng is a housing estate rather than a hotel quarter, laid out in Xingqiao Subdistrict on a Paris model that governs its architecture rather than its supply of rooms. Linping District is the wider frame.
Visitors who come for the Paris resemblance book in Hangzhou and travel out, because the estate sits inside Linping District in Zhejiang Province and was built as housing first.
About Tianducheng
What are the main landmarks in Tianducheng?
Tianducheng offers a copied layout, not a monument. The record marks nothing individually inside Tianducheng, which is consistent with an estate whose interest lies in the whole rather than in one building: the Paris model was applied to the layout, not to a single showpiece. Paris supplies the whole idea.
Xingqiao Subdistrict holds the estate, Linping District holds Xingqiao Subdistrict, and neither entry adds a named site to the list.
What is the history of Tianducheng?
Occupancy came late. Tianducheng was planned as housing in Xingqiao Subdistrict and carried a ghost city label in its early years, when the Paris-modelled blocks stood ready well ahead of the households that would fill them. The label did not last.
Between 2013 and 2017 the estate filled, and it has expanded several times since, which turned a Paris copy in Xingqiao Subdistrict into an ordinary working part of Linping District.
Where is Tianducheng?
The address nests four deep. Tianducheng sits in Xingqiao Subdistrict, which sits in Linping District, one of the districts of Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province, China.
