The Chester Housing Company 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 Chester Housing, Tom Wilkinson, 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 and there are pigeons to feed like in
Trafalgar Square, London. 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."
Are there any cricket fields? "No, there aren't any places to play cricket, because nobody in Shanghai
can play this game. But there is a football stadium like those in England. And the thing we are very proud
of is our shopping street. There are several shops where you can buy traditional English food like fish and
chips or Christmas Pudding."
The rich businessmen can do some gardening too. For every house in "English Town", there is an English
lawn and there are long gardens with ponds and tall hedges. But there is one problem. The houses in this
part of town cost a minimum of $400,000!
