      Even as a young guy it baffles me. It can never come close to seeing other places with your own eyes, but it definitely gives you an idea of what to expect if you ever decide to travel.

      77 and feel the same. This was futuristic fantasy material when we were kids. For a lot of us who were geeky way back when, all this technology we have today is better than what we wished for... I did not realize it would be accompanied by the emergence of a powerful global oligarchy, however. But at least we got good stuff to watch. For free, even.

      thanks to the low cost of groceries and other basic services like personal-owned clinics, barbers, etc. I lived in such living conditions for some time during my late twenties. Although my budget was extremely tight, I managed to have eggs, chicken, pork and fresh vegetables every day. And the surrounding were safe enough so I could go out to exercises regularly. I am really grateful that I didn’t have to sacrifice my health even when I was poor. However, the elderly are in worse position since they are expelled from the workforce. I remember during the pandemic, economy were affected by frequent lockdown and there was a granny searching trash bins for empty bottles and paper boxes to sell for money. I overheard her talks with other people and she said she had to do it til the end. Apparently, the social security system hasn’t covered everyone in need. I didn’t have much money back then, the only I could do is giving the delivery packages to her whenever I had one or two. There were other people shared foods with her from time to time. But it was far from enough.

    Chongqing's urban landscape is diverse, with a lot of room for individual businesses to live in, you can find cheap barber shops in alleys or tunnels, and old people can even find a plot of land to grow vegetables due to the complex and undulating terrain, usually a small piece of undeveloped or unprofitable space after development. This is an ancient city, often called the fog capital or mountain city, which was once used as a companion capital, and the food here is also famous, such as hot pot. Locals often make you feel as spicy as the food, but they're usually friendly and have a sense of humor. Welcome to take a walk.

    이 채널을 좋아하는 한국인 구독자입니다.
    중국을 좋아하는데 내가 가고싶은 곳은 관광지가 아니라 이런 골목길입니다.
    마음이 따뜻해지거든요.
    중국은 골목에 쓰레기도 별로 없고 깨끗하군요.

      These streets actually are not clean. I walked many time on streets like this. People spat on the ground all the time. Restaurants owners leave grease on the road in front of them. There are more crimes in area like this, because most people live in this kind of places are not locals.

    Удивительно, как многие люди в комментариях начинают судить о Китае, посмотрев это видео) Чунцин, огромный развитой мегаполис. На видео район старого города под снос, в котором остались определенные жители. Такие районы есть в любой стране. И в отличии от многих стран, здесь достаточно безопасно и чисто.

    It has a very cyberpunk look to me, as a gamer. If you have played the game Stray, you know what I mean. I'm sure that at night it looks totally different but just as cool. I also like how there are so many trees sprawling between those buildings. And despite the number of people walking or sitting around, it is relatively calm and quiet (not counting the high street of course). Very interesting to watch. Thank you for this glimpse into your part of the world. Best regards from the Netherlands.

    Thank you for the amazing work on your videos. As much as I want to explore China, sadly I can’t afford the travel costs. Your videos let me walk the streets without leaving my house.
    It’s so interesting to see some of the old city villages of China still existing. I’d be fascinated to see what the inside of one of these houses might look like one day.

    the "bottom of society" in China has clean streets, air conditioning units in every window, people neatly dressed and looking healthy and content, no junkies or homeless people lining the streets, ample greenery, and no disruptive loud noises.
