It really is the meme of "world-famous American city" vs "some city you've never heard of, China". If the location on the right were in Switzerland or something, it would already be in four Bond movies.

well yeah, china doesn't have an equivalent to hollywood so they can't distribute their culture worldwide.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sure they do, it’s called Hollywood.

BOOOOO! FAKE TRADITIONAL BUILDING! LOOK AT HOW ARTIFICIAL THE CHINESE DICTATORSHIP IS! WE GET TO DECIDE HOW YOU EXPRESZ YOUR CULTURE! /s

looks good except for the highway going straight through the middle...

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

iirc that highway is moving alongside the river, not cutting through the middle of cities like a stroad, they can't do that even if they wanted to due to all the hills

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

being able to walk along the riverside without a bunch of traffic noise would be nicer though 😅

That attraction in Chongqing is a living hell. It is insanely over crowded. Just an FYI.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Turns out they need to build more of them.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

It's a very pretty building but it's basically just food stands that you can find in all tourist locations in China. My advise is to look at it from afar where it looks pretty, but avoid going in at all costs. You will genuinely be upset by how people behave in there. It's wild.

Yes but without war, the government might get some of my money /s
