Friday and Saturday are super crowded, so try Monday or Tuesday night to go out again if you have the time, suggest you walk along the river bank at night for 2 hours very very beautiful there!!

Wow 😮, the subway ticket in China costs only 1/12th of the price of the $3 NYC subway ticket. In fact, considering that the Chinese subway systems primarily use fast trains, it's actually only 1/25th of the cost of a NYC subway ticket, which is $7 per ride for fast train.

These are all public facilities in China. They are all subsidized by the government. Most public transportation companies are also losing money. But the Chinese government believes that heavily subsidizing public transportation can speed up mobility and create more economic benefits for ordinary people.

It's EVERYWHERE across the USofA. I was on an elevated highway in California and the congestion brought the traffic to a halt. While waiting for the traffic to start moving I was glancing around and then noticed to my left that the concrete on the crash wall had crumbled away exposing the rebar. Ths was the middleish 2000s and that crumbled crash wall was finally replaced sometime in the earlyish 2010s.

Chinese cities are more friendly to the people because Chinese people don’t like to pretend to be superior.As you said, Chinese people don't like to show off their cities and scenery, because everyone feels there is nothing worth showing off. Be a low-key person and do things in a low-key manner.

Chungking was the British romanization of the name and you may misremember it with famous HK director Wong Kar Wei's auteur movie Chungking Express since Hong Kong still uses the British Romanization. Extra tip when you see "Q" in mainland China, just pronounce it as if you see "Ch".

1:30 Chungking is Cantonese and Chongqing is Mandarin. When the British ruled Hong Kong, they translated Chinese city names using Cantonese, not Mandarin. Hence, Beijing was called Peking which is Cantonese.

The way you're dressed should be January-2 months ago. If you are in Chongqing right now, which is experiencing very severe floods, many buildings near the water are submerged, I would really like you to stay and see the prosperity and the disaster of this country, and see how fast the Chinese people are working to deal with natural disasters. Many bloggers have taken pictures of Chongqing. I think you are all wrong. The tourist value of this city is embodied in the mix of ancient and modern skyscrapers and old buildings, the best urban night view in China from the South Mountain of Chongqing, and the unique delicious food of Chongqing. Enjoy beautiful views of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River from Chongqing to Hubei Province, and steep karst landscapes from the expressway from Chongqing to Hunan Province. The tourist value of this city is very high, your blog content is too shallow.

There is “Overcapacity” everywhere in food, transports and everyday products . Prices are so incredibility cheap that the West can only dream of but blame it for threatening its industry. China government cares enough to make cost of living and public transport n facility affordable to the poor n rich alike, including foreign visitors. Authoritarian China seems to be doing a better job than most free countries in serving its masses. Perhaps the less privileged class in the Free West should be more assertive that its entitlement to cheaper products is not denied by its government on false pretenses.

Hello, May I share the best news you've ever heard before? Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin.He was and is holy. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days. And then, the Heavenly Father raised Jesus (Y'shua Ha Mashiach) to life! He appeared to people and went back to heaven. If we want to truly be a child of God, we must genuinely receive Jesus. John 1:12 says: "But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." Will you truely believe on Jesus and genuinely receive Him into your life right now?
