- Guiyang Huaguoyuan Community, where 500,000 people live, is said to be the largest residential area in Asia..Dense residential buildings with floors as high as thirty or forty or higher.It looks really spectacular, and it feels depressing at the same time

As a European living in a small old city, this look unreal. It's like I'm watching a sci-fi cyberpunk movie.
Blade runner or some sht
Many Asian cities are like this. Would recommend you to visit one of them
haha agree
Thats why some people from Europe are fledgling about the world outer west. They think everywhere are like like them own.
@@mikeandersson7962 by "That" what are you referring to? living in a small city ?
I'm impressed by how pedestrian friendly this city infrastructure seems to be, good design. The biggest critique I have is the *total* lack of greenery, how hard would it be to plant a few small trees or boulevards to break up these enormous paved squares?
@@nagasakitendo6843 Also, the grass that you see is actually painted green.
my feeling too. a bit more green and colors and it looks much friendlier
But it wouldn't feel as "cyberpunk" as it is now. Besides that the trees in the square might become an obstacle and block the flow of walking traffic if the square ever gets overcrowded, they would end up stepping on the trees and destroy it anyway. (Idk this might be the reason the architect designed the square without any trees)
If you look up the geographical location of Guizhou, you will find that it is located in the southwest of China near Vietnam. There are forests everywhere...
@@juanagung9973I do not think that architects create this nightmare to create a Cyberpunk City. 😂
Fascinating perspective. People must be moving into and out of those massive buildings every day. Can't help but think of all the water, electricity, Internet, food, trash services needed to support so many people.
The provision of those services and the successful day-to-day running of cities and areas like this is an astonishing achievement of human civilisation.
It blows my mind. Even makes me a little nervous tbh. How does this all work and fit together sustainably? Freaks me out
It’s more efficient to host a big population in a small amount of land, people don’t have to use their cars that much, the city can justify building hospitals fire stations grocery stores nearby so it becomes a real 15 minute city
Don't forget all the fuckee suckee going on
nah lots are empty and unfinished
Here I provide some information you don't know about:
1. Guiyang is located in southwest China. The weather there is very comfortable. Not hot in summer, nor cold in winter. Therefore, the weather permits people to live comfortably even in densely populated areas.
2. Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou province. The whole province is almost fully covered by mountains and valleys. The people there do not lack trees or countryside scenes, but extremely lack of plains and urban areas. Actually, only 7% of the province is flatland that is suitable for living. Therefore the people there may prefer to live in such a crowded place.
3. I am very afraid of its future. 20 or 30 years later, these buildings may lack good maintenance because the maintenance fee may rise year by year. With the extremely low fertility rate nowadays. The people there may not want to keep these tall buildings and these places may be concrete deserts in the future.
Sounds like theres room for immigrants. Want some of ours?
Hello from Japan. I think this comment is very on point. I can see a future where it will be abandoned and become obsolete in half a century.😢
You Chinese will never catch up with the U.S. because of the extremely low birth rate.
Jimmy you're tarded 😂 don't worry about fertility rate the CCP is working on it
It's going to be an awesome paintball arena
When I was in China I was amazed at how even in extremely densely populated areas the non-major streets are so quiet and pleasant. It really is just cars and trucks that make cities loud
Trust me, it is very noisy. This video just muffled the sound.
@@jianhuang0124 . Wrong. Youn did not get him.
Video enhances the sound that people can't hear, so the sound in the video will be louder than it sounds in reality
You have no idea how noisy it is in China.
@@jianhuang0124 I live in China. Most of the cities here are quiet and tidy
Ultra-high residential density, but at the same time it is not particularly noisy, without heavy vehicles traffic and quite clean.
Thanks for seeing the good about this place
Where are you from?
LOL, the kids screaming at the start of the video disagree.
Also, barely any trees around.
@@nntflow7058 There are many trees in parks.
@@nntflow7058 In China, people are used to centralize their houses and green spaces, so as long as there is a residential area, there must be a park or garden nearby, but it seems that there are not many trees in the residential area.
It’s so mind blowing… watching a video of hundreds of people literally on the other side of the planet living their lives with no interest or insight to how the world is on my side. Just moments before watching, I had no idea these people living their lives existed, and now I am so incredibly invested in the daily rhythm of the locals there.
I don't know what it is exactly but I find videos of these sorts of places totally captivating. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in the world. At first glance its a bit brutal, but there is so much life and personality and beauty in every little moment you catch.

Not only that, but you’ll find garbage strewn about roads, highways, sidewalks, etc. which is much less common to see in China. So unfortunately, my man, we’re 0-2 in this battle
Careful you might hurt american dream ego
Ex-local here to give you some inside tips on this place: 1. Endless honking and all kinds or noise 24/7 and there are no any measures on reducing it. 2. You don't really see sunglight during the day because of the building density. 3. Traffic would be jammed like shit and would take you an hour or more to get out of this part of the city at peak hours. Buses are packed with people literally chest to back leaves you hard to breathe. 4. Serious fire hazards. Most of the emergency exits of these skyscraper residentials have been locked up with chains due to burglar risks. People just don't care. 5. The density of the buildings doesn't comply the regulation and it was mostly the result of government corruption back in the day when this neighbourhood was planned and designed. The land developer was keen to earn some extra money and the government wanted to get rid of an ghetto where this neighborhood was built on.
Thank you for telling us the Truth.

I lived in China for four years teaching English. The last city I lived in was Guangzhou in a residential area similar to this. I really miss it to be honest. The level of convenience was unlike anywehere else (countrywise) that I have ever lived. Whatever you need/want at any time of day or night is right there. And it always felt extremely safe.

Buildings are so tall that you can't really see the sunlight onto the streets much. And that's a real issue
No excessive UV and heat though. Chinese people are obsessed with sun protection clothes and stuff. Not needed much there.

Here in America we have lots of tall buildings. Where are you? Antarctica?
@@HomeAtLast501 Only NYC has this level of density, and even that's restricted to Manhattan. These are families and middle class people in a relatively small city (by Chinese standards, the city of Guiyang doesn't even crack the top 30 most populated cities), living in an ultra-dense setting. You don't see that anywhere in USA.
@@neerajvshah Why is this something to be excited about? We don't have a NEED to cram lots of people into crappy, tiny apartments --- we have space. Which is why China wants to come over here and kill us all to get our land. Or so General Chi Haotian said. After we exported all of our manufacturing to you, and you stole all of our technology.

This city is SO much cleaner than any densely populated city in America. This actually looks relatively clean and safe which cannot be said for the likes of a NYC, Chicago, or anywhere like that in the US.
i think this is in a strange way more environmentally friendly because of the density of population and the fact that you can access everything you need (shops, hospitals, drug stores and so on) without the need of a car. But at the same time it feels like a mausoleum, too much concrete, too much gray. This would be brilliant if those cities would have included much more green spaces
more environmentally friendly that what? you know that every city in china is just walls of hideous buildings and endless concrete
What you expect from china ,a country that has not freedom.
Yes, such density allows the surrounding greenspace to be saved. Green infrastructure should be pursued in these super dense areas though
其实周围都是公园,社区的后面是一座小山,作为一个山地城市,不用担心森林面积。
The brightly colored neon lights make up for it
This place looks so cozy for some reason
Not to me honestly. Id rather be in the suburbs in a quiet, peaceful house
I was in Guiyang in 2018 and I have pictures of these buildings, they were one of the first things I photographed on my way from the airport into the city center. I remember what might be the same avenue as the one shown in the 'most replayed' section. I don't know how TH-cam has known to recommend me this video, or if it's maybe just pure coincidence.
I was traveling with a girlfriend (she's European but she was living in China at the time), and at one point that morning she cried because we had invested money and time to go see rice terraces and other natural landscapes, yet the first stop on the trip was this overwhelming concrete monstruosity. I could totally understand her feeling, and yet I was actually excited because for me to see this vastly different urban landscape was exciting in and of itself. This was my first time in mainland China, and my first time in Asia overall, and seeing this hive-like environment felt surreal, futuristic, like something out a cyberpunk movie.
This video really felt like walking inside a building without a roof.
they built those constructions for creating GDP !
I was in Guiyang like ten years ago and it was pretty small and old-looking. That's the dizzying thing in China -- you go someplace, leave for a few years, and it's unrecognizable. You're like, "Where's my old neighborhood? It's gone! The tallest building had four stories! Now there are all these skyscrapers!"
What is impressive is how quiet it is. I wish people were so mindful all over the world.
😮wang’s record was not what I expected to watch
As an Indian I got so envious that we don't even have a single city that looks like this beautifully organized and clean.
As a Chinese ,I heard about this community because the locals give a nickname to it--the largest slum .Most of the apartment owner are renting their apartment instead of living in them.Looks stunning ,but living in it like pain in the ass.

@@Irving-WH yes guiyang ppl very poor and uneducated i hear creators are not from there
Well Chandigarh does not have skyscrapers like this but it is definitely beautifully organized and clean
As someone who lives in a remote location with a population density of only 5 people/sq km I'm fascinated to see such a place but really glad I live somewhere peaceful and quiet.
on the other hand, I live in a peaceful and quiet but very boring and lonely suburb (which describes most suburbs) ... and would LOVE to stay in this lively neighborhood with everything at a walkable distance !
@@uday4816 No you wouldn't... you have no idea how incredibly stressful noise polution.
@@YozoDerzu Doesn't seem like it'd be a problem if you live on the higher floors.
It depends on person to person. I love cities because they have so many opportunities, people, parties, restaurant, jobs, etc.
You know where else is peaceful and quiet? In the middle of the desert, in Antartica, or up in high mountain ranges. Living in a place with 5people/km sq is terribly boring, but keep telling yourself that it's good thing because "quiet" lmao

@@misscoutts6193for you but for most people it's heaven
I lived in Guiyang (Huaxi) in 2010 and this brings back memories for me, although I don't think a lot of these buildings existed when I was there, it still has that Guizhou vibe.
I am lost for words to praise the hard working Chinese people who are transforming China into a well developed country. I am from India.
I'm an Englishman living in a small town in Surrey. Met a Chinese girl who lives here (engaged with her now) and she lived here before moving to England. Walking around this area is so utterly fascinating and intimidating at the same time. You feel so insignificant by the scale of the buildings. It is pretty cool to walk around here at night with my blade runner ambience running on my headphones though. Heading back there next month in April.

@@auviance_tv Thanks!
I am from India and the thing which fascinated me me most was that street vendor.......
Till now I was thinking that it happens only in our India...😅😅😅😅😅
The first few seconds makes the area look like it came straight out of a cyberpunk themed movie (in a good way, of course)!
I want to visit this!! I'm a sucker for urban things
I visit this place in 2012, it was very chaos. A huge construction took place there. I wouldn't expect it turns out to be such a nice place.
Impressive, but the lack of green is depressing. There's a bit here and there, but not nearly enough for the amount of grey concrete. The streets are so wide that they could accomodate way more trees and shrubs.
I don't know the area (not even close!) but perhaps there is some green spaces adjacent to this main street?
Maybe inside
I am sure they will get around to it. This place is probably 5 years old knowing china's development.
Chinese people don't care about greenery that's white people preference. China does have parks in many parts of town they can go to enjoy greenery. But that's a white man's preference not chinese. Accept the fact that we are different from each other.
no matter how much people keep barking on china and keep spreading criticism about them Ill always admire how chinese people handle and maintain their society.
long live china , love from INdia :))))
For communism and crazy leaders people complain. Especially since Covid. Human rights infractions. If one must understand, most are not hating on the civilian peoples. Policies. Injustices. Women's discrimination especially against a woman unwanted in this culture. Inequity. 😔🐱🇨🇦🤷🏻♀️ I have worked with Chinese gals, the inequity is major and caters still to males.
Chinese people good, chinese government bad. That's what the hate is towards
Lol criticisms are true. You can choose to remain blind.
In my opinion it is too crowded and there are few trees. There are similar neighborhoods in Seoul and Tokyo, but the difference is that in those two cities the green areas, trees and skyscrapers are more harmonized to the point you almost forget you're in a densely populated area
this is rated as one of the worst residential districts within China by Chinese people. Guiyang used to be the poorest Chinese city, so it's incomparable to the neighborhoods of Seoul and Tokyo. Chengdu and Shanghai have much better neighborhoods with greater greenery. those richer cities have more money to spend on beauty and parks so they look a lot better than this place
The tall buildings accompanied by wide open spaces makes for a very interesting/strange view. I'm accustomed to seeing tall buildings being jammed together in places like NYC and whatnot. This looks futuristic and apocalyptic in a way. Very interesting.
This is what a communist regime of the 2030 agenda looks like.

The sheer scale and repetition of the buildings make it look unreal. It is dense, but "breathable", if you know what I mean. Not as suffocating as HK's housing.

No graffiti, no druggies, no homeless, no trash on the streets...amazingly beautiful.
Automatically thought of Los Angeles 🤣😂😂😂 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Why cant the world be like this people getting along
They don't build suburbs full of single family homes. Car-dependent suburbs destroyed American cities by limiting the number of homes that could be built leading to the present homeless problem. Car-dependent infrastructure places yet another financial burden on people which makes their situation more precarious. Precariousness leads to homelessness and crime.
Seems soulless and devoid of culture
No art, no trees, no free press... amazingly beautiful.
@@El_Martleby Its a city so ofc there are no trees
I absolutely love the vibe this city gives off. Even though much of the architecture isnt that modern, the tall buildings and extremely wide streets give it a very futuristic feeling and because of the streets it doesnt feel like its that crowded.

No music - I can add whatever music to the background and still hear the city! EPIC!
It always amazes me, a city THAT big, and most people outside of China have never heard of it... Goodness, I lived in China for a few years, and have been back several times, and have never heard of it.... Thanks for sharing, this is really cool. I've been all over the world (particularly China, Hong Kong, and Japan). I've never seen anything like this. Hong Kong is close, but not quite this dense (at least not where I was).
@@redlevantinist8947 indeed! It’s a pretty amazing country. I’m lucky to have been able to see much of it (far west Xinjiang, Tibet, Shanghai, Sichuan, the north east, Hong Kong, etc, etc).
You haven't heard of it because it isn't relevant. It's boring, gloomy, sterile concrete and steel with some colored lights helping to "charm up" the depressing environment devoid of any greenery.
True, it’s also because China media doesn’t really make it into the rest of the world. They have their own social media platform and they aren’t as tourist friendly as other countries so although there are some expats making videos or some videos like these there’s not much that goes viral except some mountains.

The cities that freaked me out in Asia weren't wall-to-wall highrise, just really heavily populated. Stepping out of your hotel in central Jakarta or HK almost invariably puts you in the middle of a crowd. For some reason, it was easier to deal with in Seoul and Tokyo - orderly cities with wide footpaths and an absence of street vendors. This seems like allowance has been made for pedestrians - not always the case in many cities in Asia
Lived in Seoul for 10 years as native, I don’t consider streets in Seoul orderly and pedestrian friendly at all - sidewalks there are parking lot + bikepath + motorbike lane + dumpster garage. But I’m comparing it to European cities so maybe I have a different PoV.
@@aaaaaaaard9586 have you ever been to Bangkok or Phnom Penh ? Even HK seems chaotic compared to what I saw of Seoul but I take your point - we only see a small slice of a city as tourists.
@@arthurwatts1680I have actaully been to Bangkok and Siem reap both as a tourist for few days. Bangkok felt more or less like Seoul (many more motorbikes of course), depending on which part of Seoul are you comparing to. Siem reap was a total chaos. I was always on edge.
@@aaaaaaaard9586 Siem Reap has a particularly nasty rep - it's still the only place where I've seen a woman get hit by a motorbike, get up and walk away like nothing had happened. Cambodia is still the Wild West AFAIC - by contrast, Seoul seemed clean and orderly. I guess I must have been in that neat little inner city bubble that tourists tend to gravitate to. Thousands flock to Sydney every year, blissfully unaware of life beyond whatever they are pointing their camera at, and that's as it should be.
@@arthurwatts1680Yes, Siem Reap was indeed like the wild west…
To be fair there are lots of places that do look clean in Seoul. I lived near Seokgye station, If you google it you’ll see street food vendors selling pig intestines and narrow, crowded and disorderly streets.
According to Google Maps, this place is a three day drive from Beijing. There is no direct public transport from the Chinese capitol either. If this is just some sort of residential enclave, one can only imagine the enormity of China's true major cities; Shanghai, et. al. Even I, a native New Yorker, am truly impressed.
why would you want to go from beijing? there are several regional centers in China, people living in these regional centers do not normally go to or want to live in beijing/shanghai. For example, the regional center in southwest China, Chengdu, or Chongqing, is only 4 hours fast speed train from guiyang, the city in this video. you can travel very easily from Chengdu/Chongqing to Guiyang, direct transportation is absolutely no problem.
There is non-stop high speed rail from Guiyang north station to Beijing west station. 9.5 hours Of course, there are many daily flights
New York is absolutely nothing compared to some of China's big cities.
Love it !
If this place is like this today, then I can't imagine how it will look after 100 years.
As a China native, I am of course proud of this.
Building such a huge, dense and tidy community requires not only money and manpower, but also culture and tradition to maintain its vitality. And we have these things.
However, on the other hand, the new era has given us too short a time. From the perspective of architectural aesthetics and human nature needs, these buildings are too cold and conventional, and we in China like more organic and humanistic architectural paradigms. The responsibility of home construction for our next generation is still very heavy, and it is still not our ideal home.

Um, Chinese air quality is one of the worst in the world.. and I wouldn’t call all cities in china clean.
@alkadalgdud6526These cities can turn into distopia real quick, if birth rates will start declining. There'll be no people to maintain all these in good shape. Structures and highways will become dangerous to navigate and live in.
It's amazing how much the Chinese has accomplished in such a short period of time. You should be proud.
It's really interesting to see how building regulation affects stuff. Here in NYC, it's illegal to have several building be THAT tall and not allow sunlight to penetrate through. Hence the "stair" like terraces to allow light in.
it's not allowed in most provinces in China too. Guiyang and the entire Guizhou province are full of mountains so people there have no choice. The population of Guizhou is more than California but plant area is less than 15% of California.
Well, these are what you call tofu buildings. Forget about sunlight, residents should thank themselves if they dont collapse.
This is why i'm not a fan of huge cities, people
are alive yet so dead. We were never meant to
live in huge metal structures with millions
shoved in few square miles with no sense of
community.

You'd imagine it would be very noisy. But with all of those buildings absorbing sound waves, it's probably not as bad as you imagine.
The garish neon and the little storefronts all jammed together and the hum of conversations and the chill vibe of masses of people meandering around … all remind me of evenings spent in Caracas in the 1970s and very early 1980s! Not the height of the buildings or the width of the streets, though. But otherwise, the architecture and aesthetic and overall spirit of all cities which developed rapidly from quite humble beginnings in the 20th and the 21st centuries is remarkably similar no matter where you go. It’s surprising how weirdly nostalgic, even though it’s from a completely different time and place, this video makes me for 1970s Caracas!
3:45 This is the most dystopian thing I've seen yet. You got dozen of buildings thinking you are at ground level, then 3:53 it is revealed that all that is just elevated, with the same buildings beneath u being just dark.
@Eddie Hughes To be fair, just European ones. But Asia is on another magnitude.

It is a paradox of sorts. Higher density means everything is closer which means there is less traffic and eventually you get to no cars at all.
Also....China lost a lot more to covid than what they let on. Big buildings, but they are barely occupied.

I live nearby, and every time I go out, I contemplate what to eat. Apart from the lack of high-paying jobs locally, the city offers a complete range of lifestyle and entertainment options. There's a Sheraton hotel, a Rolls-Royce dealership, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci stores, halal restaurants, and a variety of street-side snacks. I would say it's a place where you won't lack choices, whether you're looking for high-end or low-end options. In short, it's a city that allows you to live a very easygoing life. Located in China - Guiyang.
breathtaking. speechless.
For a country that only recently developed in the past 20 yrs, and a city probly only built in the past 10 years or so, urban design and planning is still not refined yet as expected. But still very nice infrastructures, and surprisingly cleaner and well organized than I would expected for a mega million people city. The ecnomic policy, planning, construction involved in providing such many housings for a fast growing urban populations, middle class from rural area must have been an unimaginable task for any other country. Chinese people should be proud for what they have achieved in such a short time.
Some new cities in China that are under construction are extremely well designed.
I'm happy for the Chinese but sad for the West, our cities are filthy and crumbling and so many of the inhabitants (native and immigrant) destroy them on purpose for fun
@@JR-mr1tw That probly varies by countries. I think some European countries or the Scandinavia are doing great. But you are probly right for the US, especially in mega cities like NYC, LA.. there currently lots of urban decay, social ills and high crimes endemic. I hope they put more money into infrastructure, education and social program that directly benefit the people, instead of too much wasteful pointless military spending.
Actually this is just a tip of the iceberg of China's development. This 304 video playlist here will blow your mind.

@@derekwampum8861 can you Name some of the Citys you mentioned? Maybe there is some stuff on TH-cam to watch.tx
Thank you very much. This is so amazing. It's like me being there exploring the city myself. It's also a bit like watching sci-fi movie, except there's no violence.
This reminds me of residential areas in pre-1989 Poland, with blocks of flats everywhere, entire cities consisting of them. The difference is our blocks of flats were 12 storeys tall, sometimes more, but never like what's in Guiyang. Weirdly enough this has the same vibe: familiar and unsettling.
Amazing❤
I have been there. As far as I know, the smallest house in this community is 140 square metres and the largest house is over 200 square metres (3 or 4 people usually live in a house).
The community also has 3 police stations, several hospitals, 10 public schools and 22 fire stations.
The whole community is made up of more than forty residents' committees united. So it is a small city with a community name.
That's a community?! Looks more like a megalopolis!
How many apartments are in a building like this and where do people keep their vehicles? Also i haven’t seen any sign of the infamous mega surveillance systems. Am i just being blind or do they hide it that well?
@@akosczibok6862 People there put their cars in the underground parking lot, but it was very crowded
@@akosczibok6862 People in China generally use public transport. Cars are not necessary. There is no "mega surveillance system". China is a free and democratic country. Surveillance is less than in Western capitalist countries (and generally used to benefit people rather than control their lives). The US has the most cameras per peson and the most totalitarian surveillance system in all of human history and has extended the digital arm of it to Europe, China's surveillance is low compared to the West (except for personal data protection laws, while the US is still worse than China, Europe has much stronger protections against corporations using your data than the US and China). At the same time, China is more safe with very low crime rates because people are taken care of well and trust the government, also unlike the capitalist West.
@@lynth ??我不服
It looks crazy dense & almost dystopian at first (all we need is flying cars buzzing around) but there's actually a lot of space. The sheer amount of buildings and their height is disorientating it's crazy. 😵💫
Ikrrr it's one step away from being a cyberpunk city
@@wheatlysparble7900 Yeah, imagine a total collapse of civilisation, or maybe a world crisis... then it will definetly look like a dystopian future city
it looks dystopian at first and at last.
There is also a huge underground city under these buildings, which is used to park and drive cars.
Here is actually a slum in that city. People squeze together, the construction cost is low, and in result the property price is almost the lowest in that city. This community is also top 1 in China in term of population.
I like the walking street with plenty of space and retail shops, but man that is a lot of people!
This maybe the most largest and dense, but I can tell you there are hundreds of thousands of locations exactly like this in China. I lived there for decades. Fun place. Sometimes it goes as far as the eye can see.
It's all urban sprawl and concrete jungles but... it's somehow just staggeringly beautiful and liveable. I would definitely not mind living in a place like this, it's like straight out of the future.
You're a perverted person
Yeah I lived in Suzhou, China for 2 years and it was the best time of my life. Now I'm back in the hellhole known as Maryland, USA (tbh, USA in general). But I respect those who don't like the modern/future aesthetic and prefer the run-down suburban aesthetic. It's all about preference. However, lack of public transportation and public services here is objectively bad.
There is an easy answer to the mystery. Because there is so much packed into a very systematical space it becomes very clear and open and this gives the city this jungle look like a grass field standing in the sun.
Really? Everything is gray, no real trees, no parks, no grass, no animals. How could you live like that? Are you human?
@@PaulRakoczi basically everybody nowadays lives without nature my friend
It's amazing.. You got 1.8 million views... Congrats
Imagine how much less depressing it would be if as much of the space as possible was filled with wide canopy trees. It's less depressing to be ina dark forest than oppressive concrete.
White people telling others what they should do…
Depressing?? How? U dont see everybody doing things and Stores
That kind of thing only bothers some people. Thankfully you have the choice to live wherever you want.
Nah it needs more fog, neon, and rain
Quite nice place and people aren't depressed at all. No direct sun light but it may be even more comfort to walk in a shadow. Especially at summer time.
Thanks for sharing from Russia!
I love the pedestrian spaces! Looks very liveable and chinese people dont like the sun anyways so i guess it's not much of an issue.
Bullshit, who told you that Chinese people don't like the sun.It's just a cloudy day. But it is true that the sunshine between such high buildings is not as sunny as that of small houses.
This is actually very relaxing. I have saved to put on in my background while studying or working.
I'm an American who has lived in rural countryland my entire life. This looks like Hell on earth to me.
道めっちゃ綺麗だな〜
Not enough trees and parks. But absolutely incredible scale and look how peaceful everyone is!!!
其实视频重点只放在建筑上了而已,实际并不缺绿地公园,那地方周围就是山
From what I learned at school when I was a kid, Guizhou is a highly mountainous province. Although I'd wished to see more trees in this city, I guess people could easily connect to nature? This is impressive. So clean and quiet and I really love the massive walking areas between buildings. It seems extremely convenient too! I am surprised that everyone walks, and not riding bikes, or at least roller scooters, or skates though.
It could be prohibited to ride them
Geography explains urban density. There isn't so much place to build for so many people like in Hong Kong
China bot.
It's too dense and dim, because of the height of buildings. Tall buildings are preferable in CBD. But for houses, short buildings are way better for residents, coz they are safer, have lower maintenance costs and brighter street view.
@@HomeAtLast501 ??
Unreal...the very beginning! Even looking at those buildings from this ground-level camera's perspective makes me tad dizzy, just as I would feel dizzy if I were standing at the edge of a cliff looking down. And maybe this whole plane must 35 storeys high, for all i know. Breathtaking!
it's actually pretty clean but i can't get over the complete lack of vegetation anywhere, i couldn't live like this
looks surprisingly clean for a dense city.
it’s nice that even though the city is so large it is still very walkable with plazas connecting several buildings together! 👍🏽

Imagine the raw materials to build such a colossal city
Wow cool... Dense but not crowded! I actually really like this style of city planning. Especially if you can quickly drive out to the countryside.
There is an underground level under the building for parking and driving cars.
Also very quiet. Not sure why, but this video gave me very pleasant feelings about walking on this city
It looks dense but actually isn't.
As a Chinese I am also surprised how densely these apartments were built... Usually there are regulations that buildings should be far away enough so that ground levels can also have nature sunlight. I also have never seen this before.
Maybe the regulations say "every apartment must get sunlight during noon on summer solstice"?
저는 한국인입니다. 궁금한것이 있어서 질문하겠습니다. 비디오 영상에 나오는 아파트는 중국의 일반적인 아파트 인가요? 아니면 특별한 아파트인가요?
@@user-nk1py3jo8k These buildings are like typical apartments, but usually 6-8 buildings will be built in a closed community (小区) with a big garden/park between them. The buildings in this video are much denser than typical communities.
@@l34han 정보 감사합니다
Place looks straight out of my Cities Skylines II build… unreal, yet it seems like a community that works (judging from the surface). Would love to visit normal everyday places like that.
