Reproductions of the Eiffel Tower

When Gustave Eiffel (the architect of the Eiffel Tower) designed the Eiffel Tower, he probably couldn't imagine that it would still stand in 2008. And not in his wildest dreams could he imagine that there are around 14 Reproductions (on scale) of the Eiffel Tower these days.

Here are some of them,

This 165 m high replica in the city of fake (las Vegas) is the highest Eiffel tower replica in the world. Build on 1 on 2 scale.


China: the country that specialized in imitating everything have 2 Eiffel Towers with a hight of 100m+ each.

To bad the Eiffel Tower is only built at a smaller scale than the one in Paris. Would be nice if the Germans build one twice as big as the Eiffel Tower to teach the nationalistic French a lesson :)

    when do you call it a 'reproduction'?

    If that means it's an eiffeltower on scale, there should be lot more than 14, considering all the plastic crap, key chains, etc.
