If the crowds under Paris' Eiffel T

If the crowds under Paris' Eiffel Tower get you down, try Shenzhen in China. It may not have the history of the French construction, but at least the coffee will be cheaper.
Or you could head to Berlin. Or to Las Vegas. Or several other locales with their own "Eiffel Towers."
The replication of tourist attractions has been gaining traction in recent years.
Most recently, a Spanish company has been employed to replicate Egypt's ancient pharaonic tombs.
Opening to the public later this month about half a mile from the original tomb in Luxor's Valley of the Kings, the replica will be located outside the house of Howard Carter, the expedition leader who disinterred the pharaoh almost a century ago.
The reconstruction is a response to the threat posed by the hundreds of thousands of tourists traipsing through the real relic every year.
Changes in temperature and humidity caused by their presence in the burial chamber have caused the striking plaster-painted murals on the walls to begin crumbling away.
