Hallstatt See in Boluo 博罗县, near Huizhou, was planned as a luxury real-estate project copied from the Austrian village of the same name. The landscape was transformed and eradicated, the mountains were divided and reshaped to resemble the region of the Alps. The town became the perfect background to project the imagination of a life in Austria. It turned into a busy tourist attraction and backdrop for wedding photography and soap operas. [2012/2013]
