The video, filmed Sunday outside a mall in Nanchang City, Jiangxi province, shows the Eiffel Tower replica, which dwarfs nearby trees but is still smaller than the real landmark in Paris, sliding across the mall parking lot in high winds.

The high winds battering China also caused damage at Nanchang Changbei International Airport, less than 100 miles away from the mall. Officials said the airport's roof was partially ripped off by winds that were measured at near-hurricane strength.
