Hallstatt, Austria

780 residents, 1 million tourists. China built a clone.

A lakeside village of 780 people that went so viral on Asian social media that China built a full-scale replica in Guangdong province. Hallstatt now gets over a million visitors a year — roughly 1,300 tourists per resident. The mayor begged people to stop coming. Buses are banned from the center. Drones are banned. The village that looked too perfect for real life is being loved to death.
