China boasts abundant tourist resources, from natural landscapes to rich cultural attractions that are endless to explore. But even that seems not enough—in recent years, China has actively developed imitation towns, perfectly copying world-famous sites, drawing considerable media attention. One of these is the Austrian town of Hallstatt, known as the most beautiful town in the world.

Hallstatt, the world’s most beautiful town, was once wealthy due to its salt mines. Though the small town has just one main street and a few distinctive houses nestled by the mountains and water, its unparalleled lakeside scenery has earned it a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list, leaving a deep impression on many visitors.
