A Chinese copy of a scenic town in Austria has shown great potential for business opportunities, Xinhua reported。

　　Located in Boluo County, Guangdong Province, the replica of Hallstatt has been open to visitors only a dozen days, yet many of the homes in the residential complex have already been snapped up。

　　Of the 400 villas constructed in the 20,000-square-meter European-style town, 150 have been sold, for an average price of 9,000 yuan, double the average housing price in the county seat of Boluo。

　　More small and medium-sized apartments will follow in the town in coming years, according to Shi Lingyun, a senior manager of the developer, the China Minmetals Corporation。

　　Furthermore, the firm has decided to build the town into a commercial district and tourism attraction。

廣州版奧地利小鎮

　　據新華社報道，中國復制了奧地利一個風景如畫的小鎮，該項目展示出巨大的商業潛力。

　　哈斯塔特的復制品坐落在廣東省博羅縣，雖然向游客開放僅12天，但鎮上住宅區的許多房子已經售出。

　　該歐式小鎮占地2萬平方米，建有400套別墅，其中150套以均價9000元，即博羅縣城平均房價的兩倍賣出。

　　據開發商——中國五礦集團的高管史凌云稱，在未來幾年鎮上會建更多的中小型公寓。

　　此外，該公司還決定將小鎮打造成商業區和旅游景點。
