The building company Hong Kong Housing is building a new suburb in Shanghai, a city with a population of more
than 15 million people. But this suburb is not like other parts of Shanghai. It is a little piece of England. The name
of the new area is "English Town". The manager of Hong Kong Housing, Shi Guangsheng, says: ‘Many people in
this area of China want to buy an English house and live in an English town. This town is like Bristol or Chester.
There is an English square with beautiful trees. There are four English-style pubs and you can buy English beer to
drink. There is a canal and you can row a boat there like in Cambridge.’
Can you see any cricket fields? ‘No, because nobody in Shanghai can play this game. But there is a football stadium
like those in England. And our shopping street is fantastic. There are many shops where you can buy traditional
English food like fish and chips or Christmas Pudding.’ But there is one problem. The houses in this part of town
cost a minimum of 400,000 dollars!
