Agreed I don't see this as a slum, you will know a slum when u see one I think there are slum in China but this one isn't one. It does look to me like a urban village which is more accurate description. Slum are much more dense pack and dirtier and poorer. This is not.

This are is only clean I am from small city and been to megacity yeah those areas aren't clean like this but ain't middleclass neighborhood look like this in india people live in better buildings then this .

In kolkata I have seen very poor parts of city I know how much indian mega city is unequal bit ain't middleclass people live like this not in my city lol . More you replicate what you want to say .
So, you compliment a slum while some compare it to their own country-ask yourself, who is responsible for making it a slum? It's not the passersby or visitors, but the residents themselves. Their unwillingness to clean and improve their surroundings is what keeps them in poor condition, yet they expect outsiders to justify or tolerate it by claiming it's "clean enough" for their standards.
@diorocks5858 I don't know what part of the UK you live in, but I live in England, and it looks 100 times better than this place, and you do realise this is a communist country so they couldn't give a dam about the people who live in these areas
Haha I came to the comments to talk about how neat and cool the area was, thinking I would be the only one. Haha everyone is commenting how clean and neat it is. No trash, hardly any graffiti. I love how the architecture incorporates the new and the old, and the trees making their way through it all. Very cool.
And the little graffiti you did see was in fact QQ and or WeChat numbers offering services or products. I've lived in several of the tier one and 2 cities in China and you'll find neighborhoods like this one in all of them. The units were gov built in the late 70's and early 80's. I felt safer in these places than in any big city in the states.
@@simonshaffer5813 Simon, you're forgetting the context. When comparing "slums" there is little comparison between the one in the video and slums located in India or South America or in certain big city areas in the states.

Can have electricity and still be poor compared to most areas. It's sorta hard to compare because there's rural poor and urban poor. This is more Urban so they're bound to have some electronics, can always find a hack to fix or steal an AC and some of the AC's look old as heck too.

That's like people coming to Brazil and thinking the favelas are not that bad because they look colorful. They still live in bad conditions, regardless if you think it looks exotic or not.
That's true. The people living in these urban villages have proper meals and pretty much have what a middle class family would have. The only difference is the location and their living space.

No drug addicts around, no homeless people living on the sidewalks, no people begging for money, no people almost naked on the streets or with filthy clothes, no garbage filled streets or rivers of stagnant water all around, no miles and miles of empty lots, houses, closed shops... that's what real slums look. What really this looks is like just a poor part of the city that needs some investment in making it look better. Lots of street vendors, shops and economic activity and if there's a lot of police patrolling around then at least the government is doing something to control it. Plenty of places all around the world including highly praised countries in Europe and USA the police won't even get near them and just let crime do its job. Obviously I'm not saying this place is perfect and everyone there lives happy but compared to the rest of the world they're doing far better. I won't be surprised if all this gets demolished in a few years and new buildings are made.
You do realise that Chongqing is the MOST POPULATED CITY in the world! It has a population of 32 Million (we here in Australia, have a National population of 24 Million). If that is the spot you found in a city of 32 Million and call it slum, then I think the city is doing really well considering that 31.9 Million live in the most futuristic city in the world. You really need to see REAL SLUM in USA. The Street People in Kensington Philadelphia, Tent People in Venice Beach California, Caravan People in Kentucky, Car People in Miami, Sewer People in New York City and Las Vegas.
Tokyo is the most populous city in the world, but I agree with most of what you said. The Philippines is much worse, and some areas in the USA are also. I don't see any tents, open drug dealing, or defecating in the street; all are there in the USA. Having to live on very little with dignity is superior to the throw-away mentality of the USA. In the USA, if you can't find a job, you're worthless.
No garbage on the streets. No homeless on the streets and no junkies! And this is the worst you can show people? Chongqing and all cities in China are far safer and cleaner than any large western cities. Period. No contest.

All I learned from this is Chinese people are SO incredibly uptight. They are paranoid and persecuted and afraid of everything outside 中国，They don’t realize they have a great responsibility to the world just like everyone else. Those are generalizations - but they work time and time again. I love China but when will they know who they are? With all due respect, people need to be less paranoid and frightened, and get a life. So insecure about every little thing.
I would still call it an old neighbourhood. Ironically, it’s right inside the affluent Guanyinqiao CBD area. A lot of these old residential complexes have been demolished, but many people aren’t willing to leave unless they get the right compensation package.

Is safer than California although much of the streets shown in this video would be condemned in America, the people of Chongqing find a way without the prevalence of drugs and alcohol as seen in America. Americans have no reason for living like in Chongqing other than being slothful and addicted to drugs and alcohol.
YES, please don't come to California, especially San Francisco. It is a miserable place to live. No one should live like that. If you don't have a skill someone will pay for, you'll live in a tent and be rousted by the police daily. No one wants you there...

How is this considered a slum where there is a busy shopping street with public transport readily available? This looks like a cool place to live in. The building exterior might be moldy and dirty looking but the interior looks fine. I like the urban layout of the surrounding buildings, looks very cool like a Kungfu Hustle movie set.
Some of the old houses have also become extremely expensive, so the owners are holding onto them despite having other places to live, to make govt/land developer pay them even more if they ever want to use that land.
😂 Whatever Wumao. I've been twice and its an absolute sh#thole with air that's more a solid than a gas.

@@jm7578 I used to live in the US and have travelled extensively throughout the country. I didn't find it to be the violent hell hole you depict but hey. Also the whole 'the West' v 'East' thing to me is pretty asinine. 'The West' comprises of over 50 countries with distinct languages and cultures. So the West where exactly? Because Denmark and the US don't have a great deal in common. Neither do Portugal and New Zealand. Similarly Japan and Laos aren't terribly homogenous I would'nt say. If I'm living in Jakarta then my experience with crime may be quite different than I'm living in Singapore. I just feel like these types of sweeping statements about 'the West' are pretty infantile.
This is very interesting. These areas all look the same in many Chinese cities. I have to get out to Chongqing one day and explore it. I hear there are lots of hills. I enjoy mixing it up and chatting with locals in those areas.
😂😂😂 why? Because no drug addicts and gangs roaming around? No homeless you can see in this video. Is the slum you define should be like in your country?😂😂😂
There are dilapidated old buildings in almost all cities in mainland China. Most of these old buildings were built forty or fifty years ago. It does not necessarily mean that a dilapidated place is poor. You must know that many dilapidated old residences are next to well-educated buildings. school, a room may be worth several million RMB
These places that are considered slums are not really slums. The old age of these building create an illusion that these are slums. These locations will eventually be gentrified and newer tall buildings will be built in its place.
Honestly, compared with other slums I have seen, which are full of trash, makeshift houses without electricity, and people scavenging for food, this place is just a common poor area. You can find such areas in almost every city
It actually looked pretty decent once you were down on the ground,not nearly as bad as the opening shot. It seems like a safe place though, so I wouldn't call it a slum.
I am not Chinese but from my vantage point, China is beautiful country! Please don’t criticize…. “SLUM?!” Come on buddy… Wake up and smell the coffee! People are very nice there and very polite believe or not … ❤❤❤
Very interesting. It doesn't look much like the rural village I would imagine. The poverty is definitely striking but it appears much safer than poor areas of most cities. Maybe not after the sun sets! Thanks for your tour 😊
depends as there is a bunch of cities in california that are better looking then this as cali is the most populated highest gdp state with some of the most beautiful cities in all of america, it's a big state where south cali central cali and north cali is different from eachother they can technically be there own state not to mention, cali has the most stuff to do compared to pretty much any other state ❤
Thanks for the tour! It amazes me how other cultures live their day to day. I'm curious, when you passed by all those stacked window A/C units do you know if they were for sale or just broken waiting to be repaired or hauled off? There is such little room to maneuver.
Good video. Thanks! Please make more videos like this in other parts of Chongqing and other cities, to show places that are not easily seen by foreigners.
Hello from Australia. How lucky the Chinese people who are living in Australia. They can do business there and make a lot of money. But some still dream to come back to China for retirement years. It'a silly dream.

Slums are usually built around a city with no planning, this is more of a town or village that was surrounded by a city. It still represents the poorest part of the city so thats why people could call it a slum.
More slums in HK. In Hong Kong, some people are unable to afford traditional apartments and are forced to wait years for affordable public housing. They therefore live in squatted shacks on top of buildings.
TJ had cardboard neighborhoods when I was there in 2005, right across a busy 6 or 8 lane road from a 6 story tech-mall. I met a guy standing outside an already pirated PC software shop who took us back there where he had the same and then some for something like 10 for the price of 1 across the road. Looking back, I was with a fluent Mandarin friend, but were both German-American and were 16 at the time, so the danger was not as apparent as it should have been. My friend's father is still today the Tianjin University English Professor. They still live in TJ, I've always wished to return someday, but most friends I made then were international school kids, and almost none are still in China. I bet the Yang-Ro (sp? Chinese slow coal roasted mutton skewers) is amazing there.
The title is misleading, arrogant and derogatory. This is not a slum. I don't know where you come from. I live in Europe but lived and worked in China for several years visiting cities and rural areas. I lived in UK and France for many years too and can assure you I have seen much worse in some parts of big cities there. The Chinese population are mostly not rich. This is a far higher standard of hygiene than I have seen in parts of many main major cities in India. Police patrols are normal. .
Are you Chinese??? I have lived in China for years and the people living at such areas don’t regard it as a slum!! Although they are poor they are very decent people!
tbh, i still okay to live there, if you see closely, i think its not really slum, just old building that still not get redevelopment yet, no slum area use AirCon, almost no trash, no cigarete butts, no alcohol bottles, no plastic trash, street look organize enough, they have trash can/bin there, have security/policeman, ppl who walk on street wear clean clothes, i dont think its bad at all
I have read the comments, and I echo how clean everything is, and how the society seems honestly relaxed with each other. No one was pushing a passing fad, or testing the tolerances of behavior. Refreshing ~ ✍)))

This “ slum “ is much better than in Brasil . Cleaner too .
And both look better than the slums of East LA, or Detroit, Philladelphia, Baltimore, etc etc etc
100% Cleaner than the slums in my country, the Philippines
😂😂😂
Cleaner and better housing than 99% of the U.K. 🤷♂️
Do you know something about Kensington Street in Philadelphia? That’s a real slump!
Ya...you should go video Kensington in Philly. What are you getting at. You have attracted unwanted attention
@@dennischai4831 I've been to China and did no see this.
I've been to USA and the poverty there is appalling.
There are Street People in Kensington Philadelphia, Tent People in Venice Beach California, Caravan People in Kentucky, Car People in Miami, Sewer People in New York City and Las Vegas.
Nothing I've seen in developed countries compares to the poverty in USA.
Yup the druggies on tranq
This is what a "modern city" in Philippines looks like
Hinde alam ng karamihan satin na ganyan ang ityura ng pinakamahirap na lugar sa china
I have to say they don’t look angry even is the slum, Chinese looks friendly. Here in Seattle customer service is really bad especially at Costco on 4th Ave in Seattle at the tire center. I don’t know why people in Seattle are just angry.
It isn't a slum... If this is your standard of slum we are live in shacks
It's not what you live in. It's what you can make of your life.
A house doesn’t make a home.
Going by the video, i can't help thinking the bottom people in Chongqing live like the top 10% of the people in some cities in the world.
It doesn't look like a slum. It looks very clean.
But you have to admit it is a slum 😮😢
@@furry541 It is absolutely not a slum.
This is a slum:

@@furry541 a slum in what context? have you seen the slums in oakland?
Clean 😂
Yes jails are very clean.
This place is safer than 99% of the world.
The homeowners here are richer than 90% of the world's population!
Where is the source of your claim!?
😂@@user-hf9ed5bf7d
U must be chinese to make such claim lmao😂
Lol.....sure.
This looks damned good. Mostly clean. Old, sure. But still very OK...
These slums are cleaner and nicer than most high end properties in my country 🤣
😂
honestly, its paradise compared to many places in the UK.
I remembered Kung Fu Hustle. These guys could be some of the strongest kung fu masters
Great set for a Bruce Li movie
Apparently, the term “slum” is all relative.
In the US, slum = scary AF.
Very clean and organized, much better than Philippines!
All you showed was an abandoned building earmarked for demolition.
I've been to China and did no see this.
I've been to USA and visibly saw the poverty, it was appalling. They had NO CLEAN pathways and roads to turn to.
There are Street People in Kensington Philadelphia, Tent People in Venice Beach California, Caravan People in Kentucky, Car People in Miami, Sewer People in New York City and Las Vegas.
Nothing I've seen in developed countries compares to the poverty in USA.
If you really went to China then you didn't know anything kid since there are so many slums like this one and all controlled by the Chinese triads.
I can imaging that place painted all in white, and a lot of green plants! would look amazing
Nice and clean !!!no drug addict and beggar on the streets
Looks like America, but without the drugs. In all truthfulness it is much cleaner and definitely safer.
Concrete jungle. Safer than all the cities in California
Is safer than California although much of the streets shown in this video would be condemned in America, the people of Chongqing find a way without the prevalence of drugs and alcohol as seen in America. Americans have no reason for living like in Chongqing other than being slothful and addicted to drugs and alcohol.
YES, please don't come to California, especially San Francisco. It is a miserable place to live. No one should live like that. If you don't have a skill someone will pay for, you'll live in a tent and be rousted by the police daily. No one wants you there...
i beg to differ there's some cities in cali that are better looking then this like certain parts of riverside mostly southlike woodcrest canyon crest hillcrest mission grove etc, then u got rancho palos verdes rolling hills both of these cities are way better then the city in this video then u got torrance diamond bar irvine costa mesa is decent south orange county laguna beach ❤ these are just a few cities as fountain valley cerritos murrieta menifee glendora la verne san dimas certain parts of rancho cucamonga eastvale chino hills yorba linda anaheim hills claremont etc... coming from someone from cali, you should get out more and explore stop talking bad about the most relevant state in usa
Great place for a romantic evening with your lover 💞.
Yeah, if you are from India
How is this considered a slum where there is a busy shopping street with public transport readily available? This looks like a cool place to live in. The building exterior might be moldy and dirty looking but the interior looks fine. I like the urban layout of the surrounding buildings, looks very cool like a Kungfu Hustle movie set.
Are you insane? A cool place to live? 😂🤣
Some of the old houses have also become extremely expensive, so the owners are holding onto them despite having other places to live, to make govt/land developer pay them even more if they ever want to use that land.
You should go there now experience their crappy economy right now. 😅
Better than most western big cities
absolutely
😂 Whatever Wumao. I've been twice and its an absolute sh#thole with air that's more a solid than a gas.
But you're absolutely right, who would choose ugly Western cities like Milan, Florence, Edinburgh, Paris or Vienna when you've got something as beautiful as this! Who'd want to sit at a little cafe and sample local cuisine when you can sit on a plastic stool and wait for your gutter oil cooked fried rice. Yum 😂😂😂
True dat. Western big cities = shitholes
@@willsmith39 I am an American and not a WUMAO, it’s just I live in New York and I’ve traveled throughout most of the west and yes, you’re right on some points Barcelona and Toulouse our utterly amazing cities, but unfortunately, he a nice states. We are overrun with crime and criminals and other forms of insanity.
@@jm7578 I used to live in the US and have travelled extensively throughout the country. I didn't find it to be the violent hell hole you depict but hey.
Also the whole 'the West' v 'East' thing to me is pretty asinine. 'The West' comprises of over 50 countries with distinct languages and cultures. So the West where exactly? Because Denmark and the US don't have a great deal in common. Neither do Portugal and New Zealand.
Similarly Japan and Laos aren't terribly homogenous I would'nt say. If I'm living in Jakarta then my experience with crime may be quite different than I'm living in Singapore. I just feel like these types of sweeping statements about 'the West' are pretty infantile.
This is very interesting. These areas all look the same in many Chinese cities. I have to get out to Chongqing one day and explore it. I hear there are lots of hills. I enjoy mixing it up and chatting with locals in those areas.
Thanks for your videos. I'm discovering a China that I don't know. Ciao da Roma, Italy
Thank you very much for your reward.
ITS just old building, the street looks pretty clean, they have AC, most clean slum i ever see
Thanks heavens, there are no places like this in France. This is so sad to see.
Wow😮
Surely you jest! The homeless people scattered like leaves all over Paris and places the police dare not to go.
@@francoislechanceux5818 that’s really sad 😞 hard to believe
😂😂😂 why? Because no drug addicts and gangs roaming around? No homeless you can see in this video. Is the slum you define should be like in your country?😂😂😂
There are dilapidated old buildings in almost all cities in mainland China. Most of these old buildings were built forty or fifty years ago. It does not necessarily mean that a dilapidated place is poor. You must know that many dilapidated old residences are next to well-educated buildings. school, a room may be worth several million RMB
These places that are considered slums are not really slums. The old age of these building create an illusion that these are slums. These locations will eventually be gentrified and newer tall buildings will be built in its place.
Honestly, compared with other slums I have seen, which are full of trash, makeshift houses without electricity, and people scavenging for food, this place is just a common poor area. You can find such areas in almost every city
This is not a slum at all. Places like these are lovely. I miss China so much.
這非常不錯，兄弟們找老師上課看這，不管妳在哪個城市！💟💟
WOW beautiful cute innocent perfection in one frame. Your profile picture ❤
I've visited China several times and it is very safe compared to the US. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching it.
In 2000, Chongqing was the one place in China where to find models.
Great walking tour video. The slum here is actually better than some democratic areas in the Philippines.
*這很不错，兄弟们不管在哪个城市，这里都可以找到心怡的女孩！* 🤑🤑🤑
It actually looked pretty decent once you were down on the ground,not nearly as bad as the opening shot. It seems like a safe place though, so I wouldn't call it a slum.
I like this place nice to walk around❤😊
*感谢更新！兄弟們找心仪的女孩子上课看這！* ✌✌
It doesn't look so bad. Just looks busy and used.
I am not Chinese but from my vantage point, China is beautiful country! Please don’t criticize…. “SLUM?!” Come on buddy… Wake up and smell the coffee! People are very nice there and very polite believe or not … ❤❤❤
*很不錯哦，不管在哪个城市的哥哥这里都可以點心怡的女孩玩！* 🤤🤤🤤
Very interesting. It doesn't look much like the rural village I would imagine. The poverty is definitely striking but it appears much safer than poor areas of most cities. Maybe not after the sun sets! Thanks for your tour 😊
It looks much better than California
depends as there is a bunch of cities in california that are better looking then this as cali is the most populated highest gdp state with some of the most beautiful cities in all of america, it's a big state where south cali central cali and north cali is different from eachother they can technically be there own state not to mention, cali has the most stuff to do compared to pretty much any other state ❤
I love this, it feels lively, the people sounds, the freedom of motion, like a big ballet
CHINAS PLACE IS SO CLEAN COMPARE TO OUR COUNTRY ( PINAS).AND CEMENTED
Thanks for the tour! It amazes me how other cultures live their day to day. I'm curious, when you passed by all those stacked window A/C units do you know if they were for sale or just broken waiting to be repaired or hauled off? There is such little room to maneuver.
Good video. Thanks! Please make more videos like this in other parts of Chongqing and other cities, to show places that are not easily seen by foreigners.
Aw. How satisfactory it is to see such areas in China right?
I love all the stacks of old appliances never run out of spare parts for any thing. A bit like in blade runner
china slums area is like india town..
Hello from Australia. How lucky the Chinese people who are living in Australia. They can do business there and make a lot of money. But some still dream to come back to China for retirement years. It'a silly dream.
😂😂😂 why? What's wrong with this video? Because you cannot find a single beggar and drug addicts?😂😂😂 slum should be like in Australia? Or UK or USA?😂😂😂
It is still better than richest area in Mumbai and New Delhi..
Pooorkie have you ever been to Mumbai Posh areas?
@@mr.amitbhatt3176 Bhatt, what will you do going to posh areas? Whole of Chinese cities are like any posh area..
Lol , ever been to south Mumbai posh area and central delhi . Commenting still better then posh area of india is highly arrogant .
Those areas look way better then this , Mumbai and delhi worst slums are comparable to this what you even talking lol .
Either you watch 90's documentary of india or posting just to degrade india.
@@oxy2986 Posh areas are posh areas it does not define India. Whole of Chinese cities is like India’s any posh area. It defines how the country is..
@@laoxianmodi aren't these are part of Chinese cities ?
Ain't 5km² of any city in india define the india , that also inversely mean .
Alot people criticize india for what it have or not we have our own country shouldn't lecture by other countries people who talk about india 24/7 hours more then there own country.
World is just to hypocritical at this point for lecturing and criticizing us more then seeing there own problems .
We are open society ain't mean you always talk negativity about our country , we know what problems we have we are aware of that .
Not even a slum, just an area with old building and apartments. Compared to other countries
If this is considered a slum, then i must say more than half of the world's cities are slums!
Very stylish for slum people, very respectful too. Goes to show that crime is race & culture, not poverty.
It's clean..
Slums are usually built around a city with no planning, this is more of a town or village that was surrounded by a city. It still represents the poorest part of the city so thats why people could call it a slum.

I read many of the comments and agree, this is an awfully nice slum.
Have a cold beer on me. Thanks!
Thank you for your reward.
More slums in HK.
In Hong Kong, some people are unable to afford traditional apartments and are forced to wait years for affordable public housing. They therefore live in squatted shacks on top of buildings.
*哇塞，好安静啊！❤️*
TJ had cardboard neighborhoods when I was there in 2005, right across a busy 6 or 8 lane road from a 6 story tech-mall. I met a guy standing outside an already pirated PC software shop who took us back there where he had the same and then some for something like 10 for the price of 1 across the road. Looking back, I was with a fluent Mandarin friend, but were both German-American and were 16 at the time, so the danger was not as apparent as it should have been. My friend's father is still today the Tianjin University English Professor. They still live in TJ, I've always wished to return someday, but most friends I made then were international school kids, and almost none are still in China.
I bet the Yang-Ro (sp? Chinese slow coal roasted mutton skewers) is amazing there.
Just needs a waterblast, some plaster and paint. No probs. Greetings and best wishes from New Zealand. 😊
The title is misleading, arrogant and derogatory. This is not a slum. I don't know where you come from. I live in Europe but lived and worked in China for several years visiting cities and rural areas. I lived in UK and France for many years too and can assure you I have seen much worse in some parts of big cities there. The Chinese population are mostly not rich. This is a far higher standard of hygiene than I have seen in parts of many main major cities in India. Police patrols are normal.
.
Probably is good idea to preserve some of this old traditional urban village, just need bit of face lift/ tidy up
Are you Chinese??? I have lived in China for years and the people living at such areas don’t regard it as a slum!! Although they are poor they are very decent people!
Thanks for the tour !
I think the last guy you passed by at the end in short pants threw up .
tbh, i still okay to live there, if you see closely, i think its not really slum, just old building that still not get redevelopment yet, no slum area use AirCon, almost no trash, no cigarete butts, no alcohol bottles, no plastic trash, street look organize enough, they have trash can/bin there, have security/policeman, ppl who walk on street wear clean clothes, i dont think its bad at all
I have read the comments, and I echo how clean everything is, and how the society seems honestly relaxed with each other. No one was pushing a passing fad, or testing the tolerances of behavior. Refreshing ~ ✍)))
Why do I feel like these older Chinese buildings are sturdier than the more recent tofu dreg buildings.
