Hi NotJustBikes,
I just left a comment on your Switzerland video, but I’m not sure if you’ll ever see it. I’m wondering if you’d be willing to consider taking a trip to China and checking out their walkable/cyclable infrastructure & their accessibility to trams/metros/trains?? I really, really think you’d fall in love with every city you could possibly go to there.
I recommended 3 youtube channels to you in the comment I left: Walk East, CN Walking, and Colorful World. Watch just the first minute or so of these videos & you’re going to fall madly in love with these cities!!! Zhuhai, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Nanning, Nanjing, Harbin, Shanghai, Chengdu, Chongqing, … the list goes on and on; these cities are BEAUTIFUL!!!
I’d love to see a video or two on China if you ever decide to go. If you go, I recommend cities like Shanghai, Zhuhai, and Suzhou. I say these cities because of the size: Shanghai, with respect to their population, is HUGE, (24.8 million) Suzhou is in between these two countries (~8.4 million), and comparatively speaking, Zhuhai is very small (2.5 million).
The thing that’s fascinating to me about all of these cities though is that they are all so well taken care of; they’re all so clean, so sleek, so modern, robust, efficient, and cutting edge in just about every way. Their train lines, walkability, & accessibility are truly unheard of to me as an American who’s not had a chance to leave the country yet.
I really hope you see this post & consider taking a trip. Godspeed!
EDIT: This is a photo of the Zhuhai Opera House!!
I don’t think Jason uses Lemmy, but he is on Mastodon. He strikes me as the type who doesn’t really like to read comments/take suggestions, but you might have a slightly better chance if you contact him there. His handle is notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com (I’m deliberately avoiding turning that into a proper ActivityPub handle).
