      There are cities that shouldn't be like this, Moscow for example or Berlin just have so much history and Old architecture, open spaces and monuments and turning them into a cyberpunk like City wouldn't be popular with the population, but i 'd love if every country had at least one of these if they can afford it.

    I was born in Hunan but had my university in Chongqing. Chongqing has accepted me in open arms. I am happy to say that I am a Chongqinger rather than a Hunanese . This happened to be true for a lot of my classmates from other places. What made this? The people and the local culture. In my time there was no skyscrapers and bo air-conditioning but we fell in love with the city and it's unique sense of wellbeing and humor. It's gentle interior but hard exterior...

    Having lived in CQ for 14 years I spent much of my free time exploring and blogging about what I found on various English language forums so I appreciate what you've managed to cover in such a short pithy video. Well done.
    Just a comment about the population though.... Chongqing is the name of the municipality annexed from Sichuan in 1997 which includes the capital city of Chongqing and multiple second and third tier cities, hundreds of small towns, and thousands of villages. The population of 30+ million refers to the municipalities population, not that of the capital city !
    CQ has changed so much since I first stepped off a plane in early 2003. My first impressions where very different to what a visitor experiences today. Perhaps that is one of the reason she has remained one of China's best kept secrets full of hidden gems for anyone prepared to take a closer look.

    I’ve been working and Living in China for quite some time. But Chongqing is by the best city I’ve lived. Everything is spicy as I recall it: the food, the people even the weather.
    I would recommend nan-an area ( the area where I lived at CQ Tech & Business University. Especially south mountain with the gardens and the Golden Eagle with a tremendous view. And als the art district in Jiulongo (Sichuan Fine Arts Institute) and Daxuecheng in the west.

    I've seen Hong Kong City and Seoul South Korea but Chinese megacities seem to completely dwarf both. Hong Kong city was incredible from across the bay. Singapore was very modern and clean but I have a feeling Chinese cities are even more impressive. Love to visit.

    A country with peace, prosperity, strong technology, high moral standards, fair and healthy competition, mutual respect, and the largest number of human races in the world. Loving peace while having a strong army not for aggression, but to protect peoples and to save people trapped in disaster. The ancient civilization of more than 5,000 years has been distilled from the oldest human moral and legal aspects, and China is the future of mankind.🎉🎉🎉❤❤

    Hitman 3 is introducing Chongqing to the world. Hopefully in a good way. The way I see Chongqing from the screen here, it looks like a place in Cyberpunk. Literally concrete forest. And also a lot of foods.

    • @Nicofilms
      @Nicofilms  3 роки тому +2

      What is Hitman 3? Is it a game? You nailed it, that is how it felt, concrete forest but actually with lots of green entwined in it. The old and modern buildings work really well together and the levels of the city are really interesting. The night time and food are something else! 😋

    I don’t know if this is the same to others, but I found that my stomach takes two to four days to get used to the local dishes when I travel. So it’s really important to try staying for longer than 4 days if you enjoy trying out local dishes like I do. Rushing it isn’t really a wise decision, take it slow and let it sink it, then you’ll be able to truly experience the travel.
