Photo dump | Thames Town in Shanghai 🍂❤️

Thames Town is a British-style town located in the Songjiang district of Shanghai, China. It was built in 2006 as a residential area, and it was designed to replicate the architecture and style of traditional English towns.

The town features a variety of English-style buildings, including shops, restaurants, pubs, and residential homes. Some of the most notable buildings include a replica of a church in Bristol, a town hall based on the one in Oxford, and a replica of a traditional English pub.

Thames Town has become a popular tourist destination in Shanghai, attracting visitors who are interested in experiencing a taste of British culture. It has also been used as a filming location for a number of movies and TV shows, both Chinese and foreign.

Despite its popularity, Thames Town has also faced some criticism from both locals and foreigners, who see it as a kitschy imitation of British culture that lacks authenticity. Nonetheless, it remains a unique and interesting destination for those looking to experience a slice of Britain in China.
