Has anyone been to Every Chinese before? Looks pretty quaint but I’m not sure Ring Road is to scale.
is this true
It’s exaggerated but yes, this map really reminds me of many large Chinese cities. It’s probably true every major city has a People’s Square. I think the map is based on Beijing.
Not even a joke in there, this is just how it is
Nah
I’ve been to Beijing, Hangzhou, suzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai, kunming, Xian, Qingdao, chongching, Jinan, Wuhan, yinchuan, and many minor cities. It’s an extremely stupid sterotype/oversimplification. If you want to check that easily, look at the geography of the major cities. Or, if more interested, look at city maps.
This just makes me want to watch Real Civil Engineer
… Why? His content can be enjoyable, but I’m not sure it relates here.
Forgot to mention the rapidly expanding metro
that would be the subway station in the middle of a field
This is not totally a coincidence. A lot of cities were built on more or less the same central plan.
Building infrastructure porn.
My friend taught abroad in China and he said it’s amazing how much infrastructure/construction is just almost for show. He said the village his wife was from had an empty halfh made university, many empty halfh made office building and unfinished highways. I wonder if construction demand or paper tiger when I see people confirm what he said.
