I visited Chongqing city last year, also known as 8D city because its crazy infrastructure design. It’s like cyberpunk 2077 or bladerunner 2046. Amazing city! China is living in the future.
Actually, a lot of Americans "heard" of Chongqing for many decades. The Westernized name "Chungking" was a leading brand of canned and frozen Chinese food in the U.S. for years. When I began studying Chinese business in grad school (nearly 20 years ago), Chongqing was known as the capital of watch making parts. (It was the number 1 source for watch dials and watch hands.) It was a huge city even back then. Great video.
Never in my life have i heard of this city.. ever… which is fucking wild to me that a city with 32 million is unheard of LMAO the western brainwashing worked like a charm, people in amerca really think there no other country similar to America let alone a real function country 😂😂😂
I visited China in September and I found Chongqing to be totally unexpected in its modernity and amazing architecture. Had a delightful 4 day boat trip on the Yangtze which originated in this city. I hadn't realized that this city is HUGE and is the car manufacturing capital of China. Thanks, Slava, for clarifying many of the fascinating aspects of the city.
Some of your droneshots and photography in this video are mindblowing. A lot of Chinese cities are super photogenic, this one with the ancient and modern architecture is up there.
I am sooo happy you are taking your time in china and not rushing this trip.I sincerely wish you'll extend your visa and stay in china for a few more months so you can cover different themes in Different villages, small cities, mega cities, universities, factories, trade shows, hotels,Train network systems and industries.I say so because you're one of the few channels we trust to really cover china truthfully & objectively without any prejudice or hidden agenda..
Over the past few months, I've seen so many videos titled about Chongqing to the effect of "The Biggest City You've Never Heard Of" that it has ironically become a very well-known big city! Great video as always though 😊
Wow! Ive been in huge mega cities, but this is next level. Even it looks like a bit intimidating, the mood of the video u made makes me wanna go and feel the vibe of the city. Thanks for sharing, and congrats for the nice editing of this footage.
Amazing how you managed to capture such a hectic city and made it look like a walk in the park ... never mind the haters tho ! I've never been so inspired to visit China before, but after watching this, this city is def on my wish list, it reminds me abit of Portugal, specially Porto 😊
Hey Slava, was excitingly waiting for this video. I'm so captivated by this city just by what I have seen online, it's so surreal. I'm hoping to be able to visit this place at least once in my lifetime.
Great video, Chongqing is one of the cities I've always wanted to go to but haven't. After watching your video, I've decided to definitely go there soon😄
Yes I have heard of Chongqing before -- about a week ago. That is when "Matt and Julia" posted a video about their time visiting the city. And they showed the "ground floor" shopping plaza that is actually 22 floors up and stood and filmed from the exact spot you were standing. They also showed the Public Transit going inside of that building (which is actually a train stop). I was thinking you almost bumped into each other. Very nice and Great informative Video Slava !!! Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Great! I mean we all visit pretty much the same sights in every city :) No, I didn't meet them unfortunately. It's nice collaborating with others like i did with Hugh.
I haven't been in Chongqing for 12 years now. At the time it was already a huge city, but man has it been modernised like crazy. In 2012 we had to walk through the rubles of the old neighborhood we were staying in to get to the hostel. Sad to see the old houses being destroyed.
Great travelogue, an eyeopener for visitors to China. I have been to Beijing, Shanghai and Dalian and some smaller nearby cities on business. One day I’ll visit this complicated city to see it by my own eyes.
Wow. You actually went there. I don't know if you remember, but I commented saying you should go there. Thank you for posting this, so excited to watch it :))
You can visit Tianjin, another municipality directly under the Central Government of China. This city is more westernized than Shanghai. More than 100 years ago, Europeans built their national style buildings in different areas of Tianjin, such as classical literature and art, baroque, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek, Renaissance and so on. Even the Austro-Hungarian Empire left a piece of architecture here before its demise. For a westerner like you, I think it will be interesting to see so many western architectural styles concentrated in one city.
I'm a local from China and the native of xi'an. I was fascinated with your videos (but don't mind it was actually forwarded on the Chinese RUclips Bilibili). Shall i invite you to experience historical fascinating deeply trip in Xi'an and Shaanxi province if there is a chance? I don't know have you ever been there or not, I just your new fans haha. Washing for your next Documentary video.
@CoolVision, great video. One thing I would like to point out is that Chongqing was China's capital during the war-time (WWII) after Nanjing was occupied by Japan. Chongqing was the political center of China's anti-war effort. Soviet embassy to China was also relocated to Chongqing as did American embassy and the diplomatic missions of most other countries.
There is no such thing as American Embassy, all American embassy are in fact C!A safe houses for conducting covert, regime change operations, they orchestrated the Tiananmen incident, HK riot and XJ separatists are all funded by the US.
Looking at the up hill and down hill of the city, I see people are slim and healthy doing a lot of walking climbing slope streets etc ... I just love this city...
Thanks you so much “Mr. CoolVision” to shows this remarkable Chongqing City, China of 32 million populations this week in great joy 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE this great video today’s in joy 2024❤❤❤
Very great and beautiful video ,that city is very beautiful and gorgeous , one day l may wish to visit ,good job Sir continue showing us around the world ❤❤🎉
yep I also learnt about this city from social media, guess it's a norms nowadays. Your video made me want to visit this city even more. well done Coolvision, as always!
Welcome to Chongqing City, China of 32 million people that lives there in 2024❤❤❤Thanks you so much for this amazing video today’s from Asia October of 2024❤❤❤
Just amazing the city nobody has heard of I spent some time teaching English in China and loved the People and the lifestyle so many BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE in China 😊❤
Definitely one of the best RUclips channels.
yes!! together with Oliver dadema who is also a nice china vlogger, a bit small though but quite good videos
The best Chongqing video I’ve ever seen
Thanks. Glad you liked it! Chongqing is just too cool to not make awesome videos about!
I visited Chongqing city last year, also known as 8D city because its crazy infrastructure design. It’s like cyberpunk 2077 or bladerunner 2046. Amazing city! China is living in the future.
How is the cost of living?
@@EXPATditions Very affordable. The cost of living in the West is ridiculous.
@@silveriver9ah yea, i also love to live in a world like bladerunner, truly an utopia
@@EXPATditions非常低，不比东南亚国家高。因为重庆很大，所以不只有高楼大厦，也有不那么发达的地方，所以整体消费会偏低--只要你不买房
重庆房价也不贵
I'm 75 years old and never had a bucket list ........ but damn, Chongqing seems magical.
Just pack up and go! Chongqing, Chengdu, Dali, Liliang and Yangshuo is my recommended route for the southwestern cities.
You will fail your diet in Chongqing and get weight.

Wow. Learning new things every day 😊 thanks
Also Hitman players, one of my favorite maps in the game.
@@estzsqlenl7192yesssss

It was the war time capital of China during WW2 after the capital Nanjing fall to the Japanese invaders
Your local guide was so cool. Good for you to have him showing around the city at the night.
Hugh was great! a perfect guide with a lot of knowledge

The More you study the Chinese culture the more you appreciate and fall in love with it.
Yeah, everyone who wasn't part of the "Middle Kingdom" were barbarians and uncivilized.
Sadly USnUK govts are pouring billions in churning out anti China propaganda 24/7/365!
China's cities are amazing ❤❤
If I liked Chinese food, I would love to visit them.
To think that 40 years ago there was nothing there but little houses and no economy...China makes the USA look like a third-world nation.
I am sooo happy you are taking your time in china and not rushing this trip.I sincerely wish you'll extend your visa and stay in china for a few more months so you can cover different themes in Different villages, small cities, mega cities, universities, factories, trade shows, hotels,Train network systems and industries.I say so because you're one of the few channels we trust to really cover china truthfully & objectively without any prejudice or hidden agenda..
I’m actually taking separate trips. Going back and forth Can’t live without my family 😊
@@RussianPlus Keep up the good work Bro, China is a hot theme now when it comes to the algorithm & RUclips so do what you can to milk it all now lol
he has little bias for chinese political system but i think thats fine
谢谢🙏😂
true
Over the past few months, I've seen so many videos titled about Chongqing to the effect of "The Biggest City You've Never Heard Of" that it has ironically become a very well-known big city!
Great video as always though 😊
True. I guess I was a little bit late to the party 😂
Wow! Ive been in huge mega cities, but this is next level. Even it looks like a bit intimidating, the mood of the video u made makes me wanna go and feel the vibe of the city. Thanks for sharing, and congrats for the nice editing of this footage.
Man its crazy they build this mega cities in like 20 years.
I know, right? It’s wild how fast they build these cities! Makes me feel like the rest of the world lives in slow mo lol
谢谢夸奖😊❤
They don't show you the ones falling apart....Tofu Dregs ring a bell?
well the labor is dirt cheap and there’s a billion people
I Agree! To think that 40 years ago there was nothing there but little houses and no economy...China makes the USA look like a third-world nation.
is a very important and beautiful city of China. I was there on April 2024. Thanks for the video. Daniel from Buenos Aires - Argentina
Thank you, Slava, for taking us in your wonderful trips. I loved this Chinese city.
Of all the videos I’ve seen on Chongqing, this one is by far the most informative, excellent video, kudos to you Slava!
Agreed. Not even Bald and Bankrupt was this informative. Also, it seems that “all” travel-bloggers been there in the last month 😂
Amazing how you managed to capture such a hectic city and made it look like a walk in the park ... never mind the haters tho ! I've never been so inspired to visit China before, but after watching this, this city is def on my wish list, it reminds me abit of Portugal, specially Porto 😊
Thanks a ton! China is so interesting. Can't wait ot visit Portugal too.
@@realcoolvision you will *love* Portugal 💯
Porto is Chongqing with only one bridge.
Thank you for making this video of ChongQing !!! The BEST one I have ever seen !!! ❤️💙💚💜🧡💖

I knew Chongqing, it is crazy that it is as big as my Country 🇭🇺 Also… that Marina Bay Sands building like at the beginning of the video 😄
The building was built by the same developer from Singapore. That's why it's similar
@@纪思豪 wooow! Thank you for the fact. That is crazy!
