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 says many people in this area of China want to buy an English house and live in all English town．

“This town is like Bristol or Chester．There is an English square and there are pigeons(鸽子)to feed like in Trafalgar Square，London．There ale four English-style pubs and you can buy English beer to drink．There is a canal and you can row a boat them like in Cambridge．”

The rich Shanghai 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(树篱)．

But there is one problem．The houses in this part of town cost at least $400，000!
