    Made-In-Italy - Recreated In China
    As a burgeoning middle class emerges in China there is an ever greater demand for European brands and lifestyles.

    For many a trip to Paris, Rome or London still remains a distant and expensive dream, but now there is a home-grown solution.

    Florentia Village, which opened in 2011, is an Italian themed luxury retail park in Wuqing, near Tianjin.

    It boasts all the top label brands you would find on a shopping trip to Italy - as well as some of the country's most famous sights.

    Eager shoppers can pop into Prada before marvelling at the Colosseum and admiring the gondolas on the Great Canal.

    The complex is filled with colonnades, piazzas and bridges, while just beyond the walls the towering chimney of a municipal heating station looms.

    For Florentia is built on an industrial development zone halfway between Beijing and Tianjin.

    Despite its less than salubrious surroundings the sprawling 14-acre Little Italy has proven to be a great success.

    It not only attracts visitors who have the means to shop there but also others who come to gawp at the over-the-top splendor.

    For those who can afford the prices, Florentia's motto is "100pc Luxury Goods, 100pc Discount Heaven".

    It is home to stores such as Versace, Armani, Prada as well as English classics such as Dunhill and Gieves and Hawkes.
