this place looks unreal, like straight out of a video game. the architecture is jaw dropping, infrastructure is so intricate and detailed. this place is absolutely massive, it’s mind-blowing that a city of this magnitude can fly under the radar and be relatively unheard of. I’m a sucker for urban planning and this is hitting the spot on the highest level

Intricate is not good.. intricacy makes it terrible to navigate and bad to live in for human beings. Causes lots of stress, health issues, and depression. The only thing that saves it are the beautiful hills, cleanliness, and natural scenary. Notice how sometimes the lanes merge with very little indication as to when/where. Sometimes lane lines disappear and reappear in totally different places forcing him to change lanes at an intersection (dangerous). Also seems to have very little public transit, I did not see many buses or any trains.

For every "Detroit" in the US, there are 10 worse ones in China and Russia. Cities across the US are constantly expanding and developing. Where is the proof that they haven't? Look at businesses. A lot of them can look like "great places to be", until you find out the workers are barely making $15/hr. Then take a look at others, that are "run down", and the workers are paid a good wage and good benefits.

@erqiling9153 2 ай бұрын

I have a different opinion on the points you mentioned in your comment. First of all about Chongqing, according to Wikipedia, it ranks 19th among Chinese cities in terms of population and 16th among Chinese cities in terms of GDP, so you can assess where it stands in terms of Chinese cities. As far as I know, Detroit is an industrial city famous for the automobile industry, and then something happened that caused the recession, and I'm not an American and I'm not from Detroit, so I don't know if Detroit is the worst city in the United States, but I can tell you Chongqing is not the best city in China. Of course, "most American cities have stopped growing" is too much to make me doubt the truth of this statement. The infrastructure of most Chinese cities has been built in the last 20 years or so, so it will look new and modern, while New York became a modern metropolis, most Chinese cities were turned into ruins by the war. Third, you said that China and Russia also have their own Detroit. I do not know about Russia, but I can tell you that China does not have a big city like Detroit in decline. In China, there is a small city named Hegang similar to Detroit, which used to be a small city dependent on coal industry, but later the exhaustion of coal resources led to urban decline@@lukeuseforce

The bouncy, rolling hilliness, river views, bridges, and wide variety of neighborhoods is just perfect for a big race. I feel like Chongqing is China's own version of Riga, or Adelaide, or Medellín, or Québec City. A city that really should be famous worldwide, or even regionally, for its beauty and uniqueness, that gets overshadowed by larger, more-famous cities on its continent and in its country, and is resultantly, and regrettably, nearly-forgotten by both international and domestic tourists.

It's so big, but so peaceful, very different from the big Brazilian cities. My wife is native from Chongqing and if I could would live in this city. No words to describe, just the video shows more than words. Even she got surprised how the city developed from the years she didn't come back. On the way back we took the high speed train to Shanghai, the train was equipped with beds. Chinese people are very strong in spirit, they developed from the ashes of the poverty and famine from the last century. It's understandable how the world fears China, but few people really knows China.

Yet seeing this vid, I know Í'm wrong. This is truly something else, very tidy and especially green; lots of trees and greenery. Just imagine having to build a city like this and delivering this kind of solid quality. We better take this huge and ancient country serious in every aspect. And in these troubled times, please - let's stay civilised and respectful against each other.

I am a lover of urban planning and development, history and architecture, and this city truly takes my top prize. I have lived only in the USA, and we have nothing that compares to this, NYC is the best we can offer and it simply falls so so short of this megatropolis. I am still floored that it is home to 30 MILLION people, and the streets are cleaner than anything Ive ever seen in a city of any size. The way the roads are full but not congested, people rarely honk at each other even when there is a poor driver, or some random person crossing the road. The view from the bridge looking back toward the city skyline 13:22 it took my breath away, it looked like an a cgi special effect or something. I can imagine people who have lived here their whole lives just take it for granted, but the second they leave I am sure they appreciate their home town. I have never felt such a strong longing and desire to experience a city I have never even known, but Chongqing has done it for me. I will not rest until I visit there. I am going to spend days losing myself in the architecture and engineering. Absolutely gorgeous China, well done.
