I really like my hometown Chongqing , I will present this video to my French friend , show them how amazing my county . Thanks for the video fantastic.
I am so existing watch your video. Chongqing is my hometown. It keeps changing and I am know would be lost if I come back as it changes so big. Thank you for introducing its true face to the world. I very much appreciate it.
A fun fact: the street that built through Chao Tian Men(朝天門) is called Jie Sheng St.(接聖街). These two names come in pair: Chao Tian Men literally is “the gate towards the majesty” and Jie Sheng means "to welcome the arrival of the emperor". These places were where the ancient emperors (or just their imperial edicts) land Chongqing from water, and they have existed for hundreds of years, ending up a landmark of Chongqing's wharf culture. However, after the build of Raffle's City (it's where the Barrett's stayed during their trip) in 2019, Chao Tian Men Sq. was so-called "renovated", and Jie Sheng St. turned into nothing but an underground passage to the parking lot of RC. Youngsters in Chongqing welcomed RC for its modern design and convenience brought to the city, but to the aged Chongqing people, it was a betrayal to our own culture and a destruction to the land itself. This quite set off a storm of protesting voices at that time. As a local youngster, I don’t hate RC, but I hope all Chinese cities can maintain their traditions and cultures in the process of modernization.
What a surprise for me to see my hometown Chongqing show her beauty in you TH-cam channel! Thank you!!And welcome !!!! Without doubt the virus is what we fear now, but the prejudice might continue to exist or even widely spread in the future world is worth more concern. Therefore, if you truly want to know more about China, please come and see in person just like two Mr.Barrett do! Of course China does have quite a few disadvantages and of course you could dislike her or choose to stay away from us.But just don’t shut down your eyes and ears and repeat your prejudice. As the small figures, weak though we are but no one wants to be a fool controlled by some media and those big guys , whole world is the same. Truly hope everyone well ,and the world prosper again !
The city model beneath the glass floor really showed the size of Chongqing for me. I knew it was a big city and have seen many drone montages of it but OMFG that really showed the size of it.
Wow ...excellent and interesting video , I did learn something about China , thanks so much Guys . Stay safe catch you on the next video. ..thanks thanks 🙏
Hi Lee, interesting vid. When I was in Beihai last year local guy showed me how close the apartment blocks are now being built together... he suggested this was for developers profit... bud they were close !
@@donestelle8877 it's beauty, food, life and adventuring atmosphere. What's wrong with showing that? Should we only show the bad side? (emphasis on ONLY)
Your youtube channel and hard work is *invaluable*, completely priceless, showing people the real china while dancing at the edges of being political. I'm a socialist myself and I'd love to live in china, in some city or maybe a town in the near future, and experience china's journey to socialism. And maybe meeting you in china one day, that would be a dream. So thank you, so much.
重庆原来是叫恭州，但是在北宋，有一个叫赵惇的皇帝把这座城市的名字改成了重庆。 Chongqing was originally called Gongzhou, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, an emperor named Zhao Dun changed the name of the city to Chongqing.
At first i find it a bit odd to show an underground train model in the museum. But then i realised what a monumental achievement it is for chongqing. When i was a kid in chongqing, no one ever believed or dreamt we would ever have a metro railway system. It was so expensive to build the rails comparing to other cities. We had to demolish mountains, relocate people, and construct new bridges for that purpose. But alas, now the whole city is linked by more than 6 different railway lines.
CQ became from a single division surbodinate to Sichuan province to the CQ municipality formally in 1997, as of May 2020 CQ consists of 21 districts, nine of which are made of the main urban area of this city in the mind of most Chongqingers especially old or middle aged locals, namely 渝中，江北，沙坪坝，九龙坡，南岸，大渡口，渝北，巴南，北碚. Most of the other districts were subordinate to Sichuan province before 1983, such as 荣昌，潼南. Afte 1983 their administrative divisions were reorganized and then under the administration of CQ. If you had a visit in Chongqing Planning Exhibition Hall, much more information could be achieved...
Thank you. I love the shorter videos of real China If you ever come across disabled people using Mobikity scooters or being pushed in wheelchairs, please film them, too. I know China isn’t the most accessible of places, but then neither is my hometown in UK. I’d love to see glimpses of how disabled people cope. I know it’s not your focus, though Ooh, and if you use railway stations and notice the porters, please film them, too. Distract have to be a big thing, but would be useful for your elderly or disabled viewers to see
Hello gents. Fascinating stuff. My favourite model is the bridge in the foreground at 7:08 to 7:18. I hope you rode that metro line through the building; I wonder if there's a station inside? I also see from Wikipedia that Chongqing has the world's largest monorail network, and a funicular (like a British cliff railway), dunno if you had time to explore them? I know... never enough time!
I really like your videos，do you take that cable car and go to that train station？If you went，I also want to watch them.Looking forward to your better works.
My favorite is the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany. The models in China are mostly still, but the one in Hamburg is like real cities, it has interactions with the visitors.
the model is great way to demonstrate the different districts that make up the city of chongqing and its stunning urban topography, those other you tubers, not yourself constantly claim chongqing is a city of 30 million, the city has a population of 7 million, chongqing is a relaxed relatively quiet city,
I ordered my Thinkpad laptop in the US three years ago, and its tracking showed that it was shipped from Chongqing. That was the first time I realized that Chongqing manufactures laptops (I always assumed that they are from my hometown Shenzhen).
Well-done. The Barrett channel is the first to show this massive scale model of Chongqing. Mind-boggling. On wikipedia Chongqing is listed as one of 15 "new tier-1 cities", whereas Shenzhen, where the Baretts live, is one of the 4 "original tier-1 cities". Suggest they visit all the other new tier-1 cities and compare them, if they have a chance. People always say each of these cities are different in tone and atmosphere, basically it means the Chinese population in each city are very different: their outlook, life style, cuisines, industries, history; affected naturally by geography, weather, etc. From outside of China, western media always lump all 1.4 billion Chinese together and depict them as as a homogeneous crowd. How very ignorant and provincial of them.
how about put your video on bilibili so that i can continue waching your videos after i go back to China and you may have more audiences. that would be great if you take my advice. Thank you so much.
As a Chinese myself, I have never been to Chongqing. Actually, I have never been to many places in China. Now I watching two foreigners tell me what Chongqing looks like, haha
Would be cool if the train that travels from China to Europe has a couple of sleeper carriages for people who might want to travel by train and enjoy the scenery going through different countries?
Hi Lee, Just watching u lad panda zoo reminds me of Dudley zoo. Just a question why do you think Chinese love western products so much Rolex merc LV....

You should!
天呐，你们太棒了！作为一个中国人在国内都不知道这些，出国了看了你们视频才知道中国在发生什么。谢谢你们😘😘😘
4:44 重慶人民大會堂 I was staying in there for 3 nights when I visited Chongqing in 1984. There was only 24 guest rooms by that time.
I decided my next travel destination is Chongqing after this crazy covid pandemic is over.
oh man the architects that model this thing must be having a lot of fun.
Yeah, model is very impressive.
yeah i would love to have one of those and just play with it
I wonder how many man years to make that model. Amazing!
Thanks for showing us so much. Watching your video is like touring the place ourselves
Really want to visit Chongqing! Support from HK!
Thank you again Barret for showing us !!!
这是我的家乡，欢迎您和您爸爸来到重庆做客！
I am so existing watch your video. Chongqing is my hometown. It keeps changing and I am know would be lost if I come back as it changes so big. Thank you for introducing its true face to the world. I very much appreciate it.
Your video image is better than other ones. Good video and must be nice to explore all these as father and son in such harmony.

Enjoyed all the models, especially liked the 3D art on the wall as you first walked in! Thank you for sharing! 🤗
I am so happy you guys can visit my hometown, I haven’t been back for 4 years. And thanks you guys for showing me my hometown lol!
As a Chongqinger in Europe right now, I appreciate every episode in this serie. Good job for making me homesick :)
Glad you enjoy it!

More are coming
really enjoy the series of your Chongqing visit! The modeling of city is awesome! so details and in scale.
Glad you like them!
Well Said and Support !
The city model is really nice. What a bird's eye view of the area! The wall relief is very artsy.
Hi Lee, interesting vid.
When I was in Beihai last year local guy showed me how close the apartment blocks are now being built together... he suggested this was for developers profit... bud they were close !
As local people, there is a lot of information that you mentioned I don't know, thank you love Chongqing my home town.
我重庆人。关于重庆，西方绝大多数人是蒙昧无知的。多年前我曾经读过一西方人写的文章，里面开篇有个小测验，问，Chongqing是什么？1，熊猫名字，2，三千万人城市，3，汉语打招呼，4，随便一个什么我忘了。大部分人不知道答案是2. 而比较了解中国的则告诉我，“重庆”与”长春”读音他始终分不清。至于不友善的西方人还有另外一层中国人永远不知道的恶意取笑，因为英语中“清冲”发音是它们侮辱中国/中国人/汉语的用词，还有“清客，眯眯眼“(此处我故意不用英文)之类，而“重庆”正好是“清冲”发音的相反，所以提及时，它们会有诡秘的表情，但逃不过我的眼睛，也有友善的西方人后来告诉我。
曾经有点难过过，我堂堂重庆，外人居然没听说过？不过不论怎样，重庆在迅速地发展，毫不在乎它们的认知与无知。有去过重庆的老印同事亲口告诉我，当他看见重庆的高楼大厦，他下巴都dropped了。还不要说生活水平正在全面提升(全中国，不仅仅重庆)。我个人不做结论，但可以认真地说，纽约曼哈顿的天空线与重庆的对比正在逐渐变得不那么吸引人起来。
I am proud of my hometown city. I was born and grew up there until I moved to the U.S. eight years ago.
awesome stuff Barrets! Keep pumping out those vids and showing the world the real China!
More to come!
R, what is the real China ?
@@donestelle8877 it's beauty, food, life and adventuring atmosphere. What's wrong with showing that? Should we only show the bad side? (emphasis on ONLY)

Looking forward to going to Chonqing one day!
Some China haters are probably (secretly) deeply jealous of you guys for being in such an amazing city.
Yep, I guess they are 😆
Really amazing, even as an indigenous Chinese it's still willing to see so many exquisite outcomes.
Wow! I live in Chengdu and still haven't been to Chongqing...I must visit that city!
i love it...more video please
You should go the LEGO store in Raffles Mall, there is a LEGO model of the metro line go through the building.
Oh, I didn't know that, next time I'm there I must go and see that.

You can also find a huge model in Shenzhen museum.
轻轨穿楼是我们重庆大学建筑学院设计的，这个解说员说的不够准确，楼和轻轨站是同时设计、建造的。表面上看它们是一座建筑，但其实它们是两座完全不相连的建筑，中间有留空隙，这样就不会因为轻轨产生共振影响居民楼了😏😏😏希望你们能看懂，谢谢
