Tear down Madrid and rebuild it in this style.
My plan to make Birmingham the capital of the UK
That looks like a massive museum where they rebuilt all the palaces from history. I would love to go there.
>What would you build if you had insane China money?
A wall round London and move everyone who lives in other cities over 1/2 million population into London.
The Brits (and French) destroyed the summer palace because the Qing government arrested a diplomatic team and tortured them by cutting off chunks of their bodies constantly over several days until they died. If you visit the summer palace the information boards will mention the destruction by Anglo-French forces but it won't mention what provoked it. I'm not saying it's a justified reason to destroy cultural property but it's a story with two sides.
my plan would be to make the tip of cornwall a seperate state called the "united kingdom" and send all the brown people from all over the uk there.
This separate "uk state" would have eu citizenship but would need a passport to enter England

Is it an accurate replica, or just a Disney-land tier copy?
its pretty shitty. its fucking China.
The city I lived in in Japan made a perfect replica with traditional masters.
>What would you build if you had insane China money?
Buy weapons to destroy it again.
Doesn't China also build replicas of other countries monuments? Like the Eiffel tower?
>What would you build if you had insane China money?
A gf
those are actual cities in china, not parks
>What would you build if you had insane China money?
I'd rebuild the kowloon walled city but bigger and with many blinking signs inside
yep
i went to the fake paris and it was as shit as you can imagine
needs more niggers
my parisian friends said yes it did look a lot like paris, but it's clearly in china due to the lack of craftsmanship, the air, and the restaurants
>All those commie blocks
of all the trips I did in china, it was probably the most disappointing, especially considering it took an hour to get there by taxi (no laowai tax added on to that)
here's one more
This was the case with a lot of times the brits attached another nation directly. Read about the abyssinian expedition if you haven't already, the wiki page is very interesting
I would turn one of our big cities into a modern canal city.
Diplomacy war far simpler back in the day.

The chinks were pleased with the destruction. During the cultural revolution they destroyed what was left.
Like many things in China, this place I went to was renovated in the 90's after the gommies decided to destroy half of it during the cultural revolution.
However, they're so bad at looking after their buildings it's hard to tell what's 20 years old and what's 200 years old
Interesting, do you have more interesting pics?
>be chinese
>copy
what would you like pictures of? this town?
got quite a few
High speed trains across all the lenght of Chile, and a 3km tall towers in every mayor city
Just pics of anything, stuff you found odd
When and why did you go?
this bit is actually 150 years old, and as you can see it's not been touched since it was built
Studied in Hangzhou for 10 months then did an internship for 6 weeks in Shenzhen
I'll see what odd pictures I can bring up
suppose this is funny
the mao statue on campus where I'd regularly go with my fellow laowais and predrink at and piss behind
security guards would always come over and tell us to be quiet
fun times
peak comfy
>its pretty shitty. its fucking China.
The style of joinery you are referencing is called 金輪継 and that particular approach to fortification is called 武者返し。They were both imported from China and the Honmaru quarter in that video has been rebuilt and constantly refurbished over the years.
Please be less ignorant.
So did you like China? Share your impressions with us please. Would you recommend living in there?
here's something interesting
the mini holland
one windmill and loads of tulips out of frame
I think going there you need to be in the right mindset
My first semester of study went alright, but in the second semester it went to shit. I was placed in a higher level class with more people, all of whom I didn't know. I asked the teachers if I could be moved down a level or to a class with people I knew and they didn't care
I stopped going to class and I became my own worst enemy. I sunk pretty deep in to a depression and I'd only leave my room to get fried noodles, go drinking on a friday night, or go on a trip somewhere with friends (In China). Friends of mine were doing things like going to Taiwan and Korea, and I didn't have the money for that which further sunk me in to my depression.
I don't think any of this is specifically to do with China, but the completely unfamiliar country, language, and food didn't help near the end of my time there.
more tulips
fake venice
i remember we couldn't find the proper entrance so we hopped over a fence to get in
it was really weird, people did live and work there, but loads of shops were completely empty
it was better than Paris though because it was just a quick bus and metro ride to get here
are they racist with european people? also, how have you ever been in another 3rd world country? how much of a third world country is china today?
great pics btw
>also, have you ever been in another 3rd world country?***
>High speed trains across all the length of Chile
Yes, I would do that too.
>3km tall towers in every major city
>3km
ash tray in a club i regularly went to
after months of going there I was sober (or drunk enough) to realise that it was in fact the Bird's Nest in Beijing
Most Chinese people are actually a little curious. You'll get stares, and in the little eateries around where I lived in Hangzhou, the workers would chat to you if you could speak Chinese. They were genuinely interested in why you were in China.
No one ever shouted at me because I was a foreigner or anything like that. The "worst" it got was in the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Museum, kids on school trips who had obviously never seen a foreigner in real life would say "foreigner" in Chinese, and when we replied "where's the foreigner" in Chinese, they thought it was hilarious
Nope, never been to a third world country so I can't say if China is third world. I know it does have it's third world parts, but most of what I saw could pass as First World I guess.
>I know it does have it's third world parts, but most of what I saw could pass as First World I guess.
this is what i was wondering. so they already have big regions of their country that could pass as first world, cool.
cities? yes
whole provinces?
not really
I don't have many pictures from my time there, but I lived in Shenzhen and that's by far the most developed city in China, but it helps that pre-Deng it had less than 100,000 people and it borders Hong Kong meaning it was a fantastic place to invest money in to.
ok zhang
Im saying that Japanese today have the tradition and technical skills to rebuild stuff like this but China does not
>Chinese netizen rambles on about how something originated in China 1000 years ago
seriously, dumb asses
do you feel Shenzhen better than any western eurpean/american capital? or they haven't reached that level yet?
I can only compare it to London and Dublin since I'm actually not that well travelled. My time spent abroad has been for living not tourism.
From a infrastructure point of view, it's leaps and bounds ahead of London. It's a planned city so everything just works. Buses go everywhere, the metro is massive, quick, cheap, and even at rush hour not bad, the main train station is in a convenient place, WeChat pay is ubiquitous, western amenities are plentiful (albeit expensive).
What London has it beat on is things to do. Because Shenzhen is so new, there's fuck all to do. There's the museum and the big mega electronics mall, but after that, you have to go outside of the city to do anything.
I did more and saw more in a day in Guangzhou than I did in 6 weeks in Shenzhen.
so they only need "history/culture" in those new cities, maybe in a future they fill that gap.
cool i'd love to visit china. thanks for your answers friend.
you're welcome!
there used to be a daily china thread but I think the few regular posters have lost interest, but they all have lived or lived in china so if you just made a thread here I'm sure someone will be able to answer questions
well, just one last question then user. how much money do you need to live a month in china, in some of those big cities?
A Sardinia-Corsica-Elba-Tuscany bridge system. Just so that Corsica will be flocked with Italians.
highspeed rail across the usa
make the trans-siberian railway HSR and extend it across Sakhalin to Wakkani
going from London to Tokyo by train seems cool
>What would you build if you had insane China money?
Decent football stadiums. Also I'd make the tickets expensive so the monkeys stay at home.
>that the Brits destroyed
Give us a bit of credit, we're the ones who started pillaging it

A massive underground rail system for the Seattle area, running north to Everett, East to Bellevue, and south to the Federal Way-Auburn area.
I thought the summer palace looked completely different and was made of heavy stone and had fountains and there were several towers. This looks like cheap shit.
Tokyo Tower is a literal copy of the Eiffel Tower too
Obviously rebuild Tenochtitlan.
On top of Mexico City.
based
but i expected mehico
No money in the world will ever be able to fully recover slavic history, customs, mythology (!!) and way of life. I wish my ancestors kept a written record of their history but they decided to pass on the information orally through generations
Money could buy you Trst and Gorica though.
It's done in a different style and not meant to be an exact fucking replica
You can keep them user. It would do us good to have a little more coastline, but the cities are beyond mongrolized with various yugo and shitskin population relative to ours. Let old ghosts rest Italia.
probably air purifiers and sustainable planned cities
Did they build all this in a short period of time like how they build new satellite cities to provide housing? Did they even try to use the traditional building materials and methods?
