I was in Chongqing summer of 2008. The most amazing city in the world, I grew up Los Angeles, lived San Francisco, been Chicago, New York City, other US cities, Beijing, Hong Kong, Berlin, Mexico City, Bangkok, Paris, Amsterdam/Rotterdam, Tokyo, Singapore, NONE compare to CHONGQING. Chongqing is the world’s most amazing city on earth. NOTHING like it on earth. I can only imagine what it’s like now. Old Chongqing district at night is just like no place else
Yes they do compare and beat this city hand down , from theatre , to sport, to entertainment, to job opportunities, to creativity, to Michelin restaurants, to international cuisine, to music to iconic events and festivals, to neighbourhoods, to parks, to shopping…… I could go on and on.
What I miss about China is the feeling of complete safety everywhere. In any U.S. cities you really have to be careful where you park the car, and which neighborhood you wander into. My friend had his catalytic converter stolen in broad daylight. During a recent trip to San Diego, I've seen three cases of smashed car windows and items stolen in one day, and these cars were parked in popular tourist areas by the beach. This is ridiculous. When I was in China I literally didn't have to worry about where I park, where to go, and when to go.
Cat converter thefts are just off of the chain ,You see on any local news show every night 28 stolen here and 35 stolen there lol . IDK where in the world they are all being fenced to like where do you offload thousands and thousands ? do they all get thrown into a shipping container and shipped off to Saudi or something like cars do ? I can't for the life of me figure it out .
@@rosariocannistraro3561 Crooks usually take the stolen cats to recycle yards and they get paid for the precious metals inside the cats. It's fast easy money for them. The cats then get melted down. It doesn't get shipped anywhere.

I visited Chongqing some 20+ years ago and I remembered it as a developing city. Them my family and I visited again in 2019 just before COVID hit and we saw the total transformation. The city was awesome; clean , safe, friendly and inviting people, delicious food & drinks, night life was just beautiful and amazing. We have not traveled since the pandemic. But we are now making travel plans. Alex & Julia: seeing your nice video is making me miss Chongqing a lot. I must put Chongqing in our near future travel plans. Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing . You can't fake the scenery taken from a moving motorbike so whether the western media like it or not you have captured a time history of Chongqing. I believe the world is gradually paying attention to a lot less about the label each government put against each other but more about the quality of life living in each city or country.

A 'Concrete Jungle".

Yes, Chongqing has been dumping huge money into video contests and prizes and free vacations to foreigner and Chinese to make the best possible videos of that ugly concrete dystopian landscape. Hey, since I've been there and you've never been to china - does that mean your just jealous of me hee haww... so jealous of me!
I have not been to Chongqing but I was in Chengdu in June (no not for FISU) but I was on my way to Jiuzhaigou. Chengdu is beautiful and clean...most of all, very safe. My wife and I were out till the wee hours of the night without fear of getting mugged or killed. Of course, the scenery in Jiuzhaigou were breath taking. That trip (even though it took about 12 hours by car to get there) was well worth it. Alex, you should try it if you have not been there yet.
If you want a good place for holiday, China is the place! I saw the Great Wall, acrossed the most beautiful bridges, I ate like a king, excellent coast line, amazing buildings, very affordable price, very few beggars and homeless people, gun killing almost non-existent, and it's safe to go anywhere without getting robbed!
No I’m ok. Just back from a few days in Switzerland, 1 week in Sardinia then a boat trip along the amalfi coast. No homeless, no murders. Wow! You guys make it seem like everyone outside China is close to being murdered all day everyday.

Whatever bad things the government or mainstream media in USA said about China, all you just need to do is switch the name "China" to "USA" then you get the truth of reality.
@@Reporterfy Alex, the media has been hyperventilating here in the US for a few days about an imminent collapse of China! Its really shocking. The talking heads on CNN, CNBC etc are busily doing the final rites for China's economy. Some guy was on CNBC saying China today is right where Japan was in 1992, at the edge of a bubble that will pop, and the "threat" China poses to the West will be gone in a year or two. Thank you for giving us a window into the real China. After watching your channel regularly for about a year, I am so ready to go see China myself. Keep up the wood work, Boss.
Let the Westerners look with envy what China has provided for the good living for the citizens. Mind boggling buildings and bridges of the super designs.
It's one of the most depressing 'concrete jungle' cities in the world and most of the grey ugly citizens live lives of quiet desperation in smelly concrete husks. I know you're jacking yourself over the idea of the 'Westerners' groveling and begging at your gloriousness but seriously, Chongqing is a very ugly inhuman concrete dystopia even by Chinese standards.
I live in this city and it's the best place I've lived in by far. It's clean, beautiful, safe, the food is delicious, and the people are down-to-earth and friendly. You have to come here and see for yourself.

16 years in China and counting. Chongqing is bright, beautiful and largely very clean. In these regards, it is quite typical of many large cities across China. Suzhou is also particularly beautiful, despite having a metro area population of around 8 million. There is also a lot to love about the people here. No need to take my word for this; the final remaining COVID entry restrictions just ended here. So hop on a plane and come see for yourself!
As a Chinese I’m really proud of this city! It’s my homeland and it’s an absolutely great city. I was not used to the heat there and the sunshine there but things changed after I came here, California…The sunshine is truly, literally blazing. So back to the topic, based on my experience, the US is like a giant village where you can’t see a neat and clean city (honestly the SF and LA are nasty bcz no one cleans them up…)
Meanwhile USA's streets casually full with zombies and trash on daylight and in night gangfights. LEOBear - What Chicago sounds like at night Streetrecords - The City of Brotherly Love - 8/6/2023
I live in an area that used to be pretty nice. In the last few months, some new "inhabitants" are starting to move in with their tents, shopping carts, and free loads of shit and piss on the sidewalks. As I said, this used to be a nice area. LOTS of formerly good neighborhoods in America are being taken over and absolutely ruined by these zombie hordes. Feel bad for them? I am sure a few are people who want to work but have just fallen upon hard times. But far too many are Tylenol addicts who are drugged out of their minds all the time. Go travel in China. Go off the beaten path. Go anywhere. You won't find homeless zombies. In the U.S.? You don't have to look very hard at all. They're damn near everywhere.

Hi Alex, I’m finally here in Chongqing. This city is amazing, people are friendly even though we can’t speak Chinese. Thank you for introducing this city … much ❤ Malia
lived in Shanghai and Ningbo 7 years ago. Also incredibly modern, developed, wonderful food, I lived in the heart of Ningbo, the most popular area, for about $500 a month in a nice apartment. Great memories
Thanks Alex for giving a peek into Chongqing street life. I was there in 2011August -a hot season. Taking a. Bus to go round and the city Metro train. The Ciqikou (ancient Chungking)pedestrian street attracted my attention and I had a bird-eye view of city from Eling Park.
Americans from the US think that this is pure propaganda. I had a different vision about China too until I visited the place. I can swear that I was flabbergasted to find the opposite of what I was told. Seeing is believing, and you can't fight ignorance.
I am a Chinese but I have never been to Chongqing before. It is a great experience to watch your video of Chongqing. Your video made me really want to go visit Chongqing
I’m glad you made another Chongqing City video. It’s a good break from the geopolitical videos. I really miss these City videos and hope you get back to doing them. I was in Chengdu in May 2023 and I really wanted to make the one hour HST ride to Chongqing. But it didn’t work out. Maybe in 2024.
I’m visiting my beautiful chongqing in a month after 5 years! Before the pandemic I used to go every year! Finally here I come!!!!😍😍😍 the bridge in the video is 10 minutes walk from my place ❤❤❤❤❤
No graffiti on the walls and no shit or waste on the sidewalks all along the video. The cleanliness of the city makes you want to live there. China haters would say the video has been made in Singapore. 😃😃😃
It's actually cleaner than Singapore. Singapore doesn't have as many street cleaners constantly sweeping away garbage and maintaining the city clean. Streets are also much narrower in Singapore.

As an American its western chauvinism and colonial arrogance , These people get bombarded with sleazy propaganda 24-7 from birth and are told they are gods gift to the world and they chug down the kool-aid like a cult . You can't tell any of them any different either or they completely lose their minds and call you every name in the book and drag out the McCarthyite smears straight out of the 50s .
Almost 15 years ago when we first visited Chongqing on a private tour I recall saying to my wife that we must be close to our hotel given we were in wall to wall high rises and skyscrapers. An hour later we arrived in the city centre! Chongqing is an incredible city and I really need to go back and see how it's grown up since then. Great video.
Welcome to Chongqing as a guest. This is a modern, warm, safe and free city. The most dangerous thing is to not go out for too long at night, otherwise you will grow a lot of meat! This is a gourmet city that never sleeps!
Thank you both for hitting the streets, facing the elements, e.g. sun, traffic, etc. to give us a glimpse of the streets of Chongqing, China. You'll have to identify the brand and model of ebike you're using sometime. BTW, sun protection is important. I wear the Columbia Bora Bora hat (boonie hat) on sunny days. It easily folds to be stored in your backpack or even cargo pant pocket. 👒☀
I have lived in Chongqing for 6 years and I’m planing to move back there next year. Chongqing ( China in general) is the safest place on earth. You go out , get wasted and I promise you you’ll be back home safe and sound. Chongqing people are very enthusiastic and super friendly. China is my favorite place in the world!

I noticed, those who criticize China, looking at their countries, through their witnesses, their government should care more for their own people.

@breveth and actually everyone, hello, I was born and raised in Taiwan until I was 12, then chose to move to the US and become an American because I loved the country so much. I loved the founding principles of this country, even as a kid they impressed me so much, ie the freedom of speech, of religion, and the freedom to bear arms to not only protect oneself and her family but also as a way to maintain the people’s power to keep the government in line. I thought it was so awesomely badass. Who doesn’t want freedom?! Also, I was moved by the kind and compassionate people I met everywhere during my summer visits to America, it being a Christian majority country at the time. Of course, we know that America’s ideals are now up to us the people to restore and we have quite a ways to go to restore them….we do have a lot of problems. But I will never move away from America because of its problems, I would for other reasons. Now just to let you know my very objective position, my parents are the most anti-Chinese people on the planet you can imagine. I remember going with them as a teenager to the Chinese consulate in LA to protest against them. I was brought up to think that I am Taiwanese, not Chinese, and really focus on the differences between Chinese and Taiwanese culture. Few years ago I had the chance to live in China for about 2.5 years, in Shanghai and then in Wuhan, and visited many parts of the country. My view of China totally changed. The cultural differences between Taiwan and say Beijing is as trivial as the cultural differences between Beijing and Shanghai! It’s like splitting hair! My 3 favorite things about China are the people-how friendly and fun-loving they are, the public transportation system (just blows my mind all the time how efficient, convenient, affordable, and clean), and how beautiful the cities are. There are so many great cities in that country it is so mind boggling that they’ve developed so much in such a short time. One thing I concluded after my stay there is that, the greatest enemy to mankind is team spirit, the mentality of “I am this race or this nationality and your that nationality and therefore we’re enemies” and focusing on our differences rather than our commonality. In reality, we are all children of God, all brothers and sisters. You’d have to be a monster to not feel broken hearted if you’re a Chinese citizen and you see the people on the streets of America walking around like the dead from the graves wasting their lives away. Those are people with mothers and fathers, they once had dreams and aspirations for their lives just like you do, they all want to love and be loved just like you do. And you’d have to be equally hard hearted if you’re an American and you don’t find tears welling in your eyes when you see Chinese people ….. oh shucks I just stopped for 10 minutes trying to think of a current example of widespread suffering in China, and I can’t think of one😂. But I think you get what I’m trying to say. People are people.
I saw in the comment I pinned earlier that someone invited him to come to China, but he misunderstood it as a threat. I really wanted to die laughing hahahaha
Yeah...This is old city center area and the layout of streets and buildings were there since 1950s. Traffic during rush hours will drive you crazy...the railway system is very nice and convenient though
Breathtaking beauty all over. If only Western media wasn't so sinophobic and biased, I believe people would be rushing over to visit or live in these awe-inspiring modernized cities of China.
My god Chongqing ia absolutely beautiful. It is the city i want to be in. Like it's crazy how China ha so many amazing cities with their own unique qualities. U have Shangahi, Chongqing, Shenzen, Beijing, etc..
After Deng Xiao Peng visited Singapore China sent many up-coming mayor's and other government officials for training by the Singapore Government training institute. If you look at Chinese cities today you will see the Singapore dna in city planning there. All Chinese cities are garden cities with parks and trees. Every city, big or small, has a metro (subway, mrt, mtr) system for transport convenience.
Just watched the whole video. Really enjoyed it. Really interesting how western and modern it looks. Need to get myself a plane ticket and have a look myself.
Thank you, Alex and Julia, for the updated information about Chongqing, the city I visited in 2018, and I really want to visit it again thanks to this video you made, which shows a very different city than the one when I was there. The city looks much developed ever since.
Chinese cities are beautiful! Love that they're safe. I just spent 6 months in NYC, won't be going back there in a hurry. It stunk - people were smoking weed everywhere, and it's packed full of crazies. Everything is also hideously expensive (well, most things). Someone attempted to mug me (was more like an attempted soft mugging). Came up to me, demanded I give him money, I told him I had no money, he said he knew I had money because of the clothes I was wearing. He threatened me (told me he was going to shoot me), I kept refusing, he walked off. I'm half Chinese, yet have never traveled to China. After watching these videos, this will definitely change in 2024 - thanks!
Love your videos ALex! I graduated from university in Chongqing, had been living there for four years, everything so familiar to me! Actually I fowllowed you on Bilibili since 2020 lol

The city was awesome; clean , safe, friendly and inviting people, delicious food & drinks, night life was just beautiful and amazing. We have not traveled since the pandemic. But we are now making travel plans. Alex & Julia: seeing your nice video is making me miss Chongqing a lot. I must put Chongqing in our near future travel plans. Thank you so much. I must learn how to ride an ev bike !
电动自行车很简单方便。
中国很大，欢迎你到中国的其它地方旅游，而且你可以去乡下拍摄视频，因为中国的大城市其实都很发达，你可以看到虽然中国虽然也有贫富不均的问题，但是国家会保障他们的基础生活的，特别建议去中国的医院和学校看看❤
Thanks for sharing . You can't fake the scenery taken from a moving motorbike so whether the western media like it or not you have captured a time history of Chongqing.
I believe the world is gradually paying attention to a lot less about the label each government put against each other but more about the quality of life living in each city or country.
Thanks for understanding exactly what I was trying to debunk
Next best thing to actually being there and experiencing it yourself!
@@Reporterfy by using a beauty filter, choosing the rarest clear blue sky day and only driving and including the showcase zones closer up. and the insane beauty filter that is borderline AI cartoon CGI tricks lol
@@topsuperseven7910 Aww. Real jealous. You see the beautiful city and your instinct is jealousy and hatred. Tough. Just live with the new world.
@@71Hamed in fact, I've lived in the real world of Chongqing and I'm not an easterner so I don't see the world through who's jealous of who got the #1 Stuff (you do) but yes I've lived there, very briefly and it would be the greatest location for a 'Future Dystopia' horror movie.
A 'Concrete Jungle".
If you ever want to feel a horrible sense of grey clammy dirty concrete walls, the stank of wet grime and concrete and you love climbing stairs in noise then sure you're feel so proud.
Chongqing is so bleak and depressing that Chinese from other concrete jungles have been outraged at these faked-up beauty filter videos tricking them into wasting their money on vacations to this bleak death world of a city
ruclips.net/video/fjYah6swPoU/видео.html
Since I've had to stay there I get to confirm that is definitely the real deal.
Yes, Chongqing has been dumping huge money into video contests and prizes and free vacations to foreigner and Chinese to make the best possible videos of that ugly concrete dystopian landscape.
Hey, since I've been there and you've never been to china - does that mean your just jealous of me hee haww... so jealous of me!
I have not been to Chongqing but I was in Chengdu in June (no not for FISU) but I was on my way to Jiuzhaigou. Chengdu is beautiful and clean...most of all, very safe. My wife and I were out till the wee hours of the night without fear of getting mugged or killed. Of course, the scenery in Jiuzhaigou were breath taking. That trip (even though it took about 12 hours by car to get there) was well worth it. Alex, you should try it if you have not been there yet.
Jiu zhai gou is very beautiful,and so many places of weat Si Chuan Province are very awesome, Welcome to come again.❤
Almost anywhere in China, as long as you are willing, you can play all night alone and walk the night road without so much vigilance
As a Chinese, I am also planning to visit Jiuzhaigou
If you want a good place for holiday, China is the place! I saw the Great Wall, acrossed the most beautiful bridges, I ate like a king, excellent coast line, amazing buildings, very affordable price, very few beggars and homeless people, gun killing almost non-existent, and it's safe to go anywhere without getting robbed!
No I’m ok. Just back from a few days in Switzerland, 1 week in Sardinia then a boat trip along the amalfi coast. No homeless, no murders. Wow! You guys make it seem like everyone outside China is close to being murdered all day everyday.
Safest and most fun place on earth

@@Reporterfy Alex, the media has been hyperventilating here in the US for a few days about an imminent collapse of China! Its really shocking. The talking heads on CNN, CNBC etc are busily doing the final rites for China's economy. Some guy was on CNBC saying China today is right where Japan was in 1992, at the edge of a bubble that will pop, and the "threat" China poses to the West will be gone in a year or two. Thank you for giving us a window into the real China. After watching your channel regularly for about a year, I am so ready to go see China myself. Keep up the wood work, Boss.
Let the Westerners look with envy what China has provided for the good living for the citizens. Mind boggling buildings and bridges of the super designs.
you musta forgot about the massive lockdowns for close to 3 years......
It's one of the most depressing 'concrete jungle' cities in the world and most of the grey ugly citizens live lives of quiet desperation in smelly concrete husks. I know you're jacking yourself over the idea of the 'Westerners' groveling and begging at your gloriousness but seriously, Chongqing is a very ugly inhuman concrete dystopia even by Chinese standards.
@@TheMwowner1 Aww. Seriously jealous. Lock down. It's a thing that happened here in the UK and now it's in the past.

Thanks for watching!
16 years in China and counting. Chongqing is bright, beautiful and largely very clean. In these regards, it is quite typical of many large cities across China. Suzhou is also particularly beautiful, despite having a metro area population of around 8 million.
There is also a lot to love about the people here. No need to take my word for this; the final remaining COVID entry restrictions just ended here. So hop on a plane and come see for yourself!
As a Chinese I’m really proud of this city!
It’s my homeland and it’s an absolutely great city.
I was not used to the heat there and the sunshine there but things changed after I came here, California…The sunshine is truly, literally blazing.
So back to the topic, based on my experience, the US is like a giant village where you can’t see a neat and clean city (honestly the SF and LA are nasty bcz no one cleans them up…)
Meanwhile USA's streets casually full with zombies and trash on daylight and in night gangfights.

I live in an area that used to be pretty nice. In the last few months, some new "inhabitants" are starting to move in with their tents, shopping carts, and free loads of shit and piss on the sidewalks. As I said, this used to be a nice area. LOTS of formerly good neighborhoods in America are being taken over and absolutely ruined by these zombie hordes. Feel bad for them? I am sure a few are people who want to work but have just fallen upon hard times. But far too many are Tylenol addicts who are drugged out of their minds all the time. Go travel in China. Go off the beaten path. Go anywhere. You won't find homeless zombies. In the U.S.? You don't have to look very hard at all. They're damn near everywhere.

Chongqing is the fastest growing city in China in the same time become more green and beautiful.
😂Chongqing has always been a forest city, because it was built in the mountains with a lot of trees.
@@semanadelherrero A Forest city doesn't promise it always green and clean. A port city also not always blue and prosperous. City's development always depends on governance level of each stage.

I love how green and environmentally friendly the city is! Also, 14,000 bridges?! I can't even fathom how big the city is...

Hi Alex, I’m finally here in Chongqing. This city is amazing, people are friendly even though we can’t speak Chinese. Thank you for introducing this city … much ❤ Malia
Great to hear, drop us a line

Welcome to China. Hope you have a wonderful experience here❤❤
Wow! Truly impressive Chongqing city! You are one brave rider Alex! Your wife a fantastic copilot so to say hehe!! Bravo!!!
Thanks! 😃
lived in Shanghai and Ningbo 7 years ago. Also incredibly modern, developed, wonderful food, I lived in the heart of Ningbo, the most popular area, for about $500 a month in a nice apartment. Great memories
welcome to be back to Ningbo again, it's even better now.
Thanks for taking me for a bike tour in Chongqing! What a clean city! No homeless camps!!!!! ❤❤. Oh boy that would be the new American dream 😬
Thanks Alex for giving a peek into Chongqing street life. I was there in 2011August -a hot season. Taking a. Bus to go round and the city Metro train. The Ciqikou (ancient Chungking)pedestrian street attracted my attention and I had a bird-eye view of city from Eling Park.
Welcome to Chongqing, my hometown, to enjoy a different life from Canada.
I love it!
Thanks Alex lovely functional clean mega city
Your welcome
Americans from the US think that this is pure propaganda. I had a different vision about China too until I visited the place. I can swear that I was flabbergasted to find the opposite of what I was told. Seeing is believing, and you can't fight ignorance.
I commend every person that has visited a country to experience it with their own eyes (versus being told how that country is)
@@LW78321 You can't convince blind people to see. They have been eating propaganda since they were born.

重庆的基础建设是需要亲自来体验。体验完了你才能知道为什么重庆称之为8D城市。
I am a Chinese but I have never been to Chongqing before. It is a great experience to watch your video of Chongqing. Your video made me really want to go visit Chongqing
I’m glad you made another Chongqing City video. It’s a good break from the geopolitical videos. I really miss these City videos and hope you get back to doing them. I was in Chengdu in May 2023 and I really wanted to make the one hour HST ride to Chongqing. But it didn’t work out. Maybe in 2024.
The road condition is much better than anywhere in US.. amazing
I grew up in the West but live in CT. now and there's holes in the road in some of the cities neighborhoods you could lose a bull elk in .

💯🧡is exactly what ..Im hoping someone..will show us about the e..bikes .....my prayers answered 😀😀🤠 Thanks Alex

What happened?
Just when I was getting comfy!😂
Beautiful city
Stay safe

Hey
No graffiti on the walls and no shit or waste on the sidewalks all along the video. The cleanliness of the city makes you want to live there. China haters would say the video has been made in Singapore. 😃😃😃
they will say it is fake
@@rogernguyen1273 Already read quite a few that did.
It's actually cleaner than Singapore. Singapore doesn't have as many street cleaners constantly sweeping away garbage and maintaining the city clean. Streets are also much narrower in Singapore.
I love creative areas with graffiti that’s allowed. No one hates apart from you guys.
@@JohnSmith-sm7ezWe don't give f about it - Chinese still being beat up by Chinese haters in London just because of already asked the community's permission to paint a few Chinese characters on your so called creative walls in London... Those Chinese characters are indeed the core values of so called West while Chinese haters took them as "Propaganda" & sprayed msgs of Anti-China & Russia (There's nothing to do with Russia tbh) - I only smell DOUBLE STANDARDS, BARBARIC & STUPIDITY lol
Also, fact is that we don't hate graffiti, it's just we don't have the urge to paint all the walls in China.

And thousands of homeless sleeping in tents and under bridges in every state of America.

Thanks Alex and Julia! I've visited Chongqing a few times but I still got a fresh view of Chongqing in your vid.
Some people who aren't well informed shouldn't be making comments. They are just letting the whole world know how ignorant they are.
As an American its western chauvinism and colonial arrogance , These people get bombarded with sleazy propaganda 24-7 from birth and are told they are gods gift to the world and they chug down the kool-aid like a cult . You can't tell any of them any different either or they completely lose their minds and call you every name in the book and drag out the McCarthyite smears straight out of the 50s .
Almost 15 years ago when we first visited Chongqing on a private tour I recall saying to my wife that we must be close to our hotel given we were in wall to wall high rises and skyscrapers. An hour later we arrived in the city centre!
Chongqing is an incredible city and I really need to go back and see how it's grown up since then.
Great video.
Welcome to Chongqing as a guest. This is a modern, warm, safe and free city. The most dangerous thing is to not go out for too long at night, otherwise you will grow a lot of meat! This is a gourmet city that never sleeps!
That’s my hometown! I am proud that foreign friends notice this cyberpunk city (especially at night)
Thank you both for hitting the streets, facing the elements, e.g. sun, traffic, etc. to give us a glimpse of the streets of Chongqing, China. You'll have to identify the brand and model of ebike you're using sometime.
BTW, sun protection is important. I wear the Columbia Bora Bora hat (boonie hat) on sunny days. It easily folds to be stored in your backpack or even cargo pant pocket. 👒☀
I have lived in Chongqing for 6 years and I’m planing to move back there next year. Chongqing ( China in general) is the safest place on earth. You go out , get wasted and I promise you you’ll be back home safe and sound. Chongqing people are very enthusiastic and super friendly. China is my favorite place in the world!
I just love the food in Chongqing yummy.
About to go there end of August. Is it always spicy?
Yes. The food here is on another level.
Yes, almost all the local food is spicy. However, there are other Chinese food as well as foreign (Japanese, Thai, Vietnam, Italian, etc) restaurant options.@@peanut0brain
Going to be a great one as normal
Thanks for the support

This city had be bombed severely by Japan invaded during world war 2.
Nowaday, IT's ranking #5 in China by GDP.
I am from the Philippines. No matter what other countries say about China, I don't believe them except China and its witnesses. I noticed, those who criticize China, looking at their countries, through their witnesses, their government should care more for their own people. I am poor in the Philippines, but I will not be stupid in believing those warmongers and detractors of China. Hoping the Philippines and China find ways of renewing their friendship.
Americans do not want peace, they want to pull their allies to curb China's development, and the world's number one can only be the West
I hope so too ❤
What concerns me is the US government's influence in the Philippines
@breveth and actually everyone, hello, I was born and raised in Taiwan until I was 12, then chose to move to the US and become an American because I loved the country so much. I loved the founding principles of this country, even as a kid they impressed me so much, ie the freedom of speech, of religion, and the freedom to bear arms to not only protect oneself and her family but also as a way to maintain the people’s power to keep the government in line. I thought it was so awesomely badass. Who doesn’t want freedom?! Also, I was moved by the kind and compassionate people I met everywhere during my summer visits to America, it being a Christian majority country at the time. Of course, we know that America’s ideals are now up to us the people to restore and we have quite a ways to go to restore them….we do have a lot of problems. But I will never move away from America because of its problems, I would for other reasons. Now just to let you know my very objective position, my parents are the most anti-Chinese people on the planet you can imagine. I remember going with them as a teenager to the Chinese consulate in LA to protest against them. I was brought up to think that I am Taiwanese, not Chinese, and really focus on the differences between Chinese and Taiwanese culture. Few years ago I had the chance to live in China for about 2.5 years, in Shanghai and then in Wuhan, and visited many parts of the country. My view of China totally changed. The cultural differences between Taiwan and say Beijing is as trivial as the cultural differences between Beijing and Shanghai! It’s like splitting hair! My 3 favorite things about China are the people-how friendly and fun-loving they are, the public transportation system (just blows my mind all the time how efficient, convenient, affordable, and clean), and how beautiful the cities are. There are so many great cities in that country it is so mind boggling that they’ve developed so much in such a short time. One thing I concluded after my stay there is that, the greatest enemy to mankind is team spirit, the mentality of “I am this race or this nationality and your that nationality and therefore we’re enemies” and focusing on our differences rather than our commonality. In reality, we are all children of God, all brothers and sisters. You’d have to be a monster to not feel broken hearted if you’re a Chinese citizen and you see the people on the streets of America walking around like the dead from the graves wasting their lives away. Those are people with mothers and fathers, they once had dreams and aspirations for their lives just like you do, they all want to love and be loved just like you do. And you’d have to be equally hard hearted if you’re an American and you don’t find tears welling in your eyes when you see Chinese people ….. oh shucks I just stopped for 10 minutes trying to think of a current example of widespread suffering in China, and I can’t think of one😂. But I think you get what I’m trying to say. People are people.
在一个反华的家庭里长大，长大后能亲身到大陆生活2年半，真是勇气可嘉。你的亲身经历得出对中国大陆的评价很客观。
I saw in the comment I pinned earlier that someone invited him to come to China, but he misunderstood it as a threat. I really wanted to die laughing hahahaha

Surprising how the streets are small and very few lanes. Tons of people must use the subway/buses/trains to make this work I suppose.
THE JEALOUSY IS STRONG IN THIS ONE..😮🤷🤦
Yeah...This is old city center area and the layout of streets and buildings were there since 1950s. Traffic during rush hours will drive you crazy...the railway system is very nice and convenient though

What a cool video. Very interesting and fun city with great infrastructure and architecture. The production and drone shots are great!!
My god Chongqing ia absolutely beautiful. It is the city i want to be in. Like it's crazy how China ha so many amazing cities with their own unique qualities. U have Shangahi, Chongqing, Shenzen, Beijing, etc..
After Deng Xiao Peng visited Singapore China sent many up-coming mayor's and other government officials for training by the Singapore Government training institute. If you look at Chinese cities today you will see the Singapore dna in city planning there. All Chinese cities are garden cities with parks and trees. Every city, big or small, has a metro (subway, mrt, mtr) system for transport convenience.
The most annoying thing is to see messages from Singaporeans. You're boogers.

Thank you, Alex and Julia, for the updated information about Chongqing, the city I visited in 2018, and I really want to visit it again thanks to this video you made, which shows a very different city than the one when I was there. The city looks much developed ever since.
This is one of your best production.... amazing....you cant hear any background noise or wind ...the Ariel views are always amazing
Glad you enjoyed it
Chinese cities are beautiful! Love that they're safe. I just spent 6 months in NYC, won't be going back there in a hurry. It stunk - people were smoking weed everywhere, and it's packed full of crazies. Everything is also hideously expensive (well, most things). Someone attempted to mug me (was more like an attempted soft mugging). Came up to me, demanded I give him money, I told him I had no money, he said he knew I had money because of the clothes I was wearing. He threatened me (told me he was going to shoot me), I kept refusing, he walked off. I'm half Chinese, yet have never traveled to China. After watching these videos, this will definitely change in 2024 - thanks!
I really love the views of the city in these pictures. It would also be interesting to see their metro system.
Hi Alex, so coll riding on your E-bike👏👏👏😍😍🤩🤩🤗
