The best Chongqing video I’ve ever seen

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.

I'm 75 years old and never had a bucket list but damn, Chongqing seems magical.

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.

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..

The More you study the Chinese culture the more you appreciate and fall in love with it.

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.

Your local guide was so cool. Good for you to have him showing around the city at the night.

[BotchyXdog]

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 😊

[AyeAye-ot]

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.

[nzimalaya]

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 😊

[wdckqjcgf]

[midei]

Thank you, Slava, for taking us in your wonderful trips. I loved this Chinese city.

[orangetravels]

Of all the videos I’ve seen on Chongqing, this one is by far the most informative, excellent video, kudos to you Slava!
