    wow, sickening. hell on earth. not a walmart or strip mall in sight. where the fuck do they even go to get their ultragiga-gulps? i don’t see a single person holding a treat in any of these photos. and the crazy part? that high speed train right there? goes straight to the concentration camp. they wont build actual infrastructure but they build trains to take slaves to concentration camps at 500mph

    and notice the strange glow of that “sun”. obviously a fake lamp the communist CCP party of communist china put there to give off woke-rays and make everybody tricked into thinking this is all fine and good (look at them smiling, blissfully unaware)

      There was actually a thread on twitter where some chud was claiming that since Chongqing has commieblock apartments that the whole futuristic vibe was a lie and that actually its just a potemkin village. Insane amounts of cope in thread as if having a dense walkable city with almost 0 homelessless was a bad thing because some of those housed people have to live in apartments that kinda look old. Of course go into any of those apartments and you’ll find its all renovated and decorated, definitely more beautiful on the inside.

        The discourse on Chongqing is fucking disgusting on Reddit

        I saw a clip of it the other day where some guy goes around on an overcast day and everyone in the comments was talking about how it looked like a boring cyberpunk dystopia. The narrator was absolutely encouraging it by saying people on the lower floors never saw the sun and describing the regular looking metro entrance as dystopian, but fucking Redditors see a walkable city built tall and because it’s China they lose their fucking minds

          Its also on the side of a mountain lol, of course its going to be built that way. I spent about a month there last year and my calves were ridiculously jacked, easily 8000 steps a day if you don’t take taxis/Didi since traffic on winding mountains is more roundabout than just taking the stairs. American minds cannot comprehend a city where you can literally walk/metro everywhere you need to go faster than driving.

          Edit: Food in Chengdu was better though, Chongqing has hotpot cornered but the variety and quality of more traditional Sichuan food was superior in Chengdu.

    I think it’s my favourite city so far. I heard it was the most slow paced and open minded place in China. Hopefully they will lead the whole country in this direction!

    I fucking love China, but god damn, these pics go so hard it literally hurts that I cannot move there right now. Chengdu is now on top of my relocation list.

    Every single one of these photos, if the text on signs was blurred or otherwise illegible, would absolutely make every single Redditorsoypoint-2 about how beautiful and futuristic Japan is until you told them it was actually China, and then they’d immediately call these photos actually dystopian and Orwellian

      Yes, I’ll try to find the name of the street/suburb. The photographer has a video on their channel of their setup to take the shot from an apartment(?) opposite.

      Edit: it’s 航空路，曼哈顿小区， 二期
      pinyin: hangkong lu, manhadun xiaoqu, er qi

      The suburb (well, xiaoqu/district/area) is called Manhattan lol
