2. Had you ever heard of the city called Chongqing before today? It's a city in the central China that rivals Tokyo in size.

Chongqing boundaries are massive and it qualifies less as a city than as a province
Chase Campbell
Same as Tokyo. "Big tokyo" and "tokyo" isn't the same.
Tyler Hall
Yeah, but this thing fucking exists in the middle of some mountains and nobody's ever even heard of it (and possibly never will).
Sebastian Sanchez
CHINA STLONG
Ayden Long
Yeah but let's be honest here, nothing interesting ever happens there so even within China it's rarely in the news. It's like the Birmingham of China
Luke Roberts
I just find it bizarre.
Jack Adams
Yeah, probably. It's interesting from that point of view, at least.
Bentley Miller
Everybody knows Birmingham.
Eli Martin
Not if you live in this part of the world, distance matters

>been following Chinese infrastructure and skyscraper construction for years
>chongqing cheats because its administrative size is massive
>dirty docks
>india tier blocks
>hilly geography rendering metro and skyscraper construction difficult
>shenzhen is still the best
Brody Russell
Yes, it's an important manufacturing hub
Carter Cook
All of China is basically like that though. No city in China will ever come close to being as amazing as Tokyo is, in terms of how well it actually functions.
Jaxon Miller
>Everybody knows Birmingham.
In Europe, for real? In the UK, yes but even in continental Europe?
James Sanchez
I've never been to Shenzhen or Tokyo but it seems amazing
>pic related is raffles city in chongqing

I can't speak for the continentals, but Nordics will know it. If for nothing else, then because of football.
Tokyo is absolutely gorgeous from an infrastructure point of view. Can't recommend it highly enough. I think you're someone who might enjoy this kind of thing (it's an automated levitating train, by the way):

John Thompson
Shenzhen has a lot of flashy buildings but a lot of peripheral districts are just boring concrete residential and industrial blocks. Tokyo has an advantage there
Jose Williams
Do you know of any good websites to follow for that kind of news/info?
Lincoln Thompson
Wyatt Watson
Skycrapercity, there's even Polish threads on Warsaw skyscrapers
Juan Ramirez
Yes. I even met and got drunk with some people from Chongqing. There was a big corruption scandal there also involving the murder of a Brit. Like other anons said, it's on a mountain so they have to come up with shit like this.
Josiah Peterson
I don't care about Poland/Polish or Warsaw at all, but thanks.
Sebastian Young
Wasn't Shenzhen a small pig-raising village not long ago ?
Liam Allen
Damn, that's fucking cool.
Kayden Young
looks like another glass meme city
I'd rather visit Kashgar
Nolan Price
Hate to be "that guy" but isn't it THEIR job to make themselves noteworthy on the world stage?
Ryan Lee
Size is all relative. Our urban area extends to Brussels and Cologne. Yet Amsterdam, the 7th global city, is actually smaller than Stockholm.
Alexander Edwards
Amsterdam is very comfy. Stockholm is like a giant office with busy people running around.
Samuel Allen
That's partially why everything looks so modern in pictures
Joseph Nguyen
You're gonna start hearing about them pretty soon. Chongqing is the starting point of the Silk Road project the Chinese government has going on.
Ayden Price
In France, yes.

What I meant to say is the borders are very arbitrary. What is called a rural village here might be suburbs in China.
Bentley Bell
I thought the whole country was the starting point. So the future development is gonna be impressive.
Chase Thomas
Assuming they're dumb enough to finish it. Imagine willingly transporting something across the continent by land, like what the fuck.
Julian Adams
It has the fastest-gowing economy in China
Asher Thomas
Yes, and in Stockholm, you'll have nature reserves to break the urban landscape completely. The countryside and the city completely blend together.
Stockholm can be very comfy in its own way. Lots of nice quirks in many ways.
Matthew Gonzalez

>yes I heard of it
David Bennett
Good choice
Kashgar, Lhassa and Central Asian cities attract me a lot more than than soulless East Asian cities.
Josiah Butler
Not really
Mason Gray
Ah Chongqing, beautiful sky. Doesn't look very healthy.
William Hernandez
Germans are dumb though. Anything East of the Rhine river is Eastern European.
Connor Murphy
Is that Hellasgården in Nacka, user?
Austin Morgan
*look to the right*
wtf, the people are vanishing in the smog. Are they melting?

AAHHHHH RUUNNNN
Sebastian Harris
Probably, yes.
Elijah Thomas

Yes because I'm a china autist.
Christian Peterson
Rail transportation between China and Europe is faster than container ships.
Ian Kelly
The railway leaves China through Chongqing and ends up in Germany somewhere. Anything coming from outside will also stop there before going forward. Tianjin became big just by being Beijing's port.
Owen Mitchell
Of course you have, Chang.
Aiden Phillips
Love that website. Have been lurking on it since 2003
Christian Nelson
So we should expect taller skyscrapers from Chongqing

Focus shifts to quality of life improvements after industry is built. Do they not teach you history in school?
