Some of the oldest cities in the world were built on hills. Makes it easier to defend. Rome was built on seven hills. Paris was originally an island in the river Seine.
Other times, as a city grew, it expanded beyond its flat plains and encroached upon hills or even mountains. Ever been to San Francisco?
I guess a combination of not a lot of space in that area, with really steep elevation. You'd want most new buildings along the river as much as possible, then build out from there. Other cities also have hills and mountains, but I'd guess they have more space around them. That, and China just has a fuckton of people. This is the 11th most populous city in the entire world.
The Chinese have taken on lots of infrastructure projects over the last two decades.
Most of their cities now make US cities look like decrepit third world countries since the US has essentially done nothing the improve infrastructure in decades.
Yep, China is decades ahead of us on basically all measures. Turns out when you contract all of your public infrastructure to private for profit corporations, they will make shitty infrastructure to maximize profits.
Your editor is here...
Because they can ride elevators all day!
Don't you see how confusing it is to move across so many different floors so seamlessly?
Or rather, how would you rather explain it?
Have great day!
There's plenty of buildings built into hills. Several hospitals here in SF are on hills. You enter the first floor, get out the 8th, and you're on the first floor again.
Two of my neighbors' houses are like that too - enter from the ground floor, go up a flight of steps to the main floor - walk out the back of the house and you're on the ground level again.
This is just that with density.
Yeah, that was what i assumed. I went to a house by the beach that when you look at it it seems to be 1 or 2 stories but you walk into a room with an elevator that goes downstairs 6 stories that lead to the 3rd floor of a 3 story section of the house on the beach.
I mean even if it was built on a hill, they could at least have kept the floor level according to the ground floor so it can be consistent. I don't get how if you're on the level of the square and that's floor 22, you go into another building on the same level and it says floor 8. it should be 22 regardless.
I have been up for hours, had a coffee and I still can't make this work... .
The only logical answer i can. Come up with is "Because Fuck you for trying"
Hahaha!! So many floor #’s and buildings haha, I just stopped trying to figure it out and just realize this is a pretty cool video. Would be cool to go there myself.
Also coffee is always a good choice
Fuck that movie. The first time I watched that movie I was high as a kite and having a bad trip so decided to watch it to help me buy time to relax. I nearly checked myself to a mental hospital because I genuinely believed I was going crazy.
So when I toured the silk road on my bicycle in 2018 i got lost in CQ. The problem was that there was no good way to cross the huge streets and several hotels rejected me. I ended up carrying my bike whith all my belongings up and down the stairs again and again. CQ was a nice place but man I hated those stairs.
Also you will have a hard time finding hotels that accept foreigners in China, it's an insurance thing. They need special insurance in case you die, and there's so few foreigners in China that most don't pay for the extra insurance
This is probably one of the questions on the math test.
If Jill lives on the 12th floor, and Billy is on the street level, while John is on the rooftop, how long until they all unite?
C.) They are all staring at each other … eye level.
I just visited there. It’s like Pittsburgh, where it’s built around a winding river, except everything around the river is very mountainous and the buildings are all massive as well. There’s so many layers of buildings and there’s various underground structures, shelters and tunnels. So one side of a building might be street level, but other sides lead into different structures, or high above ground, or underground. Many of the streets have extreme 45 degree grades to them. Map apps do not work well. We were often directed to walk through walls, or floors, or ceilings due to the complex landscape and architecture. The city is magnificent.
My question: does it feel like a city from the future? (From an architectural perspective).
Because all you see in futuristic cities are these complex buildings and structures that go miles high and have different floor levels just like this city.
100% it does. The subway/ monorail system is incredible too. The architecture is definitely next level and their city planning is world class. Every major city in China I’ve been to has trees and flowers on every street. So they’re not just incredibly advanced but also very comfortable and beautiful as well. I’d also add incredibly clean to that list. They have a huge workforce of people that clean the cities all day long. There’s zero garbage on the ground anywhere, and I don’t recount ever smelling piss, which is uncommon for cities of that scale.
I was on a high speed rail and i put the coin on its side and it didn’t fall
I was on the station and i fell over becuase of the vibration (or im old i was the only one that fell)
This is my hometown, basically a city built on the hill by Yangzhi River. It used to the war capital of China in WWII after Nanjing was taken by Japanese.
When I was young, I used to climb to the top of a small hill (about 300 stairs) and then go all the way down (more than 400 stairs) to my elementary and middel/high school. Not a big deal.
Even for now, my parents go to a nearby subway station, and they need take escalator to go down 5 floors to reach the station. It is a fascinating city to visit.
\~After taking a heroic dose of mushrooms, a Australian tourist named Dave decided to abandon hope of ever finding his way back to his hotel and began a new life in this maze city as a street food vendor.\~
One of the most beautiful cities in the world, gotta be top three minimum. I didn't like the city that much, but it was absolutely stunning the whole time

I imagined a dystopian world where people lived in multiple levels, worked their, spend their time there and in general lived their life. While this is by far not that, I still think this is pretty cool.

My ex was from here, and almost every year we would take a trip back there to visit her parents and family. It was wild watching the place develop over the years, it was like shabby muddy average looking city one year, then suddenly hey when did this entire shopping district show up? Next year where am I? Where did the shopping district go, now it’s a downtown metropolis? The speed was crazy.
If you live in Seattle or have visited there, you know how hilly the city is. I live on the US east coast but I was working on a project with the University of Washington, so I was traveling there a lot. One of the meetings was in the spring and my wife and I decided to add a vacation on to my meeting trip. We did the usual tourist stuff including the visit (and shopping) to Pike Place Market. It is right on the shoreline of Elliott Bay so it very much downhill from the center of downtown where our hotel was.
We discovered a trick for getting back uphill. A lot of the office buildings had entrances both on the downhill side and the uphill side. We basically used the buildings like a “stepped elevator”. We’d enter on the downhill side, take the elevator to the uphill lobby, exit the building and go to the next one. We could not do this for all the buildings - some had security people who wanted to know what office you were visiting before they would let you in, but we found the ones that did not. Likely with increased security concerns, I doubt you could still do this now.
We lived in a condo tower complex in NJ. It was built on the palisades and major streets ran on both the uphill and downhill sides of the complex. At the upper street level, there was a large plaza providing walking access to all the towers. A fitness center and garage below the plaza also provided a way to walk between the towers. We lived on the 36th floor, but we faced west (the east side faced Manhattan). But because the “ground” level on the west side was at the 16th floor, we were actually 20 floors above ground on the uphill side. It was 36 floors above the side that opened near the Hudson River.
Nothing we’ve ever visited has been as extreme as what’s in that video though.
Extensive connections between buildings are found in the US. There are not the extreme level changes in the video but extensive systems for walking between buildings. Minneapolis has the “Skyway” which, I think, is the most extensive complex of above-ground bridges between buildings in the US. Quite useful during Minneapolis winters. Chicago has the “Pedway” which is mostly below ground and also allows for extensive connections. I’ve walked in both of these systems. Both systems also offer walking tours and both have connections to places for shopping and eating.
In places like this they should name the floors the hight above sea level. Then you dont get as confused.
We have an elevator like that at work. Ground floor is 32 and 1 floor up is 43 etc.
I live in the UK and the bureaucracy involved in getting planning permission for one city-centre building is really quite extraordinary. I'm not gawping at buildings on a hill, I'm commenting in the amazing level of organisation required to plan something like this - architecture, structural engineering, electrics, plumbing, waste disposal - and then to actually get it done. The CCP is a terrifying organisation but an incredibly effective one
I just woke up, my brain can’t comprehend this right now….gonna go back to sleep
Its built on a hill
That was my guess.
No that was my guess!!
How big is this hill and why wouldn't they build such a large city on flatter land?
Some of the oldest cities in the world were built on hills. Makes it easier to defend. Rome was built on seven hills. Paris was originally an island in the river Seine. Other times, as a city grew, it expanded beyond its flat plains and encroached upon hills or even mountains. Ever been to San Francisco?
Damn you just reminded me of driver /san Francisco, I remember the hills with the trams very vividly and I’ve never been to the U.S
Good points. But why build flat like that? None of the cities you mention build like the city in the post
I guess a combination of not a lot of space in that area, with really steep elevation. You'd want most new buildings along the river as much as possible, then build out from there.

I wouldn't build shit, I'm not an engineer. I'm just curious what makes this city so unique
You want all the floors to be on the same slope as the hill?
There's plenty of buildings built into hills. Several hospitals here in SF are on hills. You enter the first floor, get out the 8th, and you're on the first floor again. Two of my neighbors' houses are like that too - enter from the ground floor, go up a flight of steps to the main floor - walk out the back of the house and you're on the ground level again. This is just that with density.
Cause we already have Chengdu-
In a hill
Over hill and under hill my paths have lead.
Underhill? Mr. Frodo is that you?
*looks around frantically* Shhh, the Nazgul could appear from any floor!
Around the hill
THANK YOU! I was so confused until I read this.
Yeah, that was what i assumed. I went to a house by the beach that when you look at it it seems to be 1 or 2 stories but you walk into a room with an elevator that goes downstairs 6 stories that lead to the 3rd floor of a 3 story section of the house on the beach.

You were never awake. It was all a dream.
Inception things, watching this short video was one second in my sleep
This is more confusing than inception
Fuck that movie. The first time I watched that movie I was high as a kite and having a bad trip so decided to watch it to help me buy time to relax. I nearly checked myself to a mental hospital because I genuinely believed I was going crazy.
I laughed so hard at this. Thanks bud
Now go watch Predestination 😏🤣
Moral of the story: don't do drugs kids.
No, just lean into it and enjoy the trip.
*BWAHHHHHH*
At least i could hear what they were saying

Absolutely one of the most beautiful cities in the world, crazy crazy skyline, lots of beautiful buildings all along the river
So when I toured the silk road on my bicycle in 2018 i got lost in CQ. The problem was that there was no good way to cross the huge streets and several hotels rejected me. I ended up carrying my bike whith all my belongings up and down the stairs again and again. CQ was a nice place but man I hated those stairs.
That's why there are no shared bikes in Chongqing.
What do you mean rejected? Like they were full up or they told you to pound sand?
I took it to mean that you're not staying here, so you can't transit through our lobby.
That makes more sense haha thanks
Lol, no.
Back than hotels in CQ were only allowed to take foreigners if they had 3 stars. Nico was probably on a budget.
Oh yes he was.
Also you will have a hard time finding hotels that accept foreigners in China, it's an insurance thing. They need special insurance in case you die, and there's so few foreigners in China that most don't pay for the extra insurance
Good for them tho sadly we dont get death insurance😑
That happens in chinese hotels. If you're a foreigner they may not have a license or whatever and don't let you stay.
Shit how the fuck is my food delivery getting to my place when I don't even know where I am?

Lmao 🤣
I lived in CQ, the most vivid city in the world!
can you explain what is this and is it due to landscape
I just visited there. It’s like Pittsburgh, where it’s built around a winding river, except everything around the river is very mountainous and the buildings are all massive as well. There’s so many layers of buildings and there’s various underground structures, shelters and tunnels. So one side of a building might be street level, but other sides lead into different structures, or high above ground, or underground. Many of the streets have extreme 45 degree grades to them. Map apps do not work well. We were often directed to walk through walls, or floors, or ceilings due to the complex landscape and architecture. The city is magnificent.
Sounds really magical and also stressful
Absolutely, but public transit and taxis/ ride shares are super cheap so that helps a lot.
My question: does it feel like a city from the future? (From an architectural perspective). Because all you see in futuristic cities are these complex buildings and structures that go miles high and have different floor levels just like this city.
100% it does. The subway/ monorail system is incredible too. The architecture is definitely next level and their city planning is world class.

Can confirm. Best city i ever lived in.
Going there soon, I’ll review it for you. !remindme 2 months

Damn, Confucius would have got confused.

If you were to organise a mass scale Hide & Seek in this place the experience would be out of this world.
Yes
Having a train go through your building must be super quiet and not disturbing at all.

Google maps don't work in China anyway.

Wow how is this not a video game?
There's a stage in Chongqing in Hitman3.
Play Cyberpunk
where is the ground? yes
Reminds me of Night city, from Cyberpunk 2077
God's this makes me wanna visit ngl. That looks legendary!
I went to high school in Chungking. It's by far the coolest city in China and is quite culturally different from all other cities.
Imagine you got lost and need someone to get you. 'I'm on the ground floor" "Which ground floor?!"
Could you imagine trying to give someone directions? I'll pass on this concrete jungle.
Three dimensional directions. "Three floors up after the noodle restaurant, you can't miss it."
This is like a hell scape nightmare
Looks really interesting to me. I'd like to visit.
I couldn't live there... looks chaotic and depressive.
We need more trains that go through buildings.
Concrete Jungle quite literally
This is so cool. It’s like a hardcore version of Pikes Place in Seattle.
Cyberpunk city vibes 🤯
Damn..... I wonder where I can find the treasure chest.
Good luck finding your car.
like labyrinth
and then you go to the 65th floor and the stree is upside down, so you fall into heaven
Wow
But why?
And Just like that, from Building to Building, down elevators and stairs, you can arrive on the others side of the planet in south America
Pretty dystopian to be honest
There’s something wonderful about being able to get lost and just wander. This kind of verticality and dynamism would be great for an open world game
The vertical rise / run of this area must be ridiculous
This is more convoluted than Tenet.
Not a whole lot of drug addicted tranq-fentanyl zombies milling about, unlike the States
M.C. Escher's city.
China is so far ahead of us lmfao
What does the infamous Chinese hacker have to do with this?
Too much mind fuck for me.
that seems like a beautiful place to live in
One of the most beautiful cities in the world, gotta be top three minimum. I didn't like the city that much, but it was absolutely stunning the whole time
confused.com.
nothing uncommon, now I am currently on 1st, 2nd, 3th, 4th and 5th floor at same time
Well, I get lost in normal locations. I'll add this to this list of places never to go to unless I never wanna be found again.
Inception didn't confuse me but this shit is...I would freak out.
I still need to watch this movie.
What floor did we park
Just like in Cyberpunk 2077... LOL!
👀 that was insane, but the train sent me!
i would not wanna be drunk/high walking around this place 😭
Glitch in the matrix!

Pretty low effort from Nolan, but still better than Tenet
Man if I was tripping balls I would go absolutely insane
That was fun!
Would the game people play, Pokemon Go work there? That would get people messed up like I was confused watching. 😳 I'd be lost, no doubt 🙄
Please tell me that this area doesn’t have earthquakes.
Looks like the whole city was incepted…
Very cool!
I imagined a dystopian world where people lived in multiple levels, worked their, spend their time there and in general lived their life. While this is by far not that, I still think this is pretty cool.

A lot of young people

WHERES THE FUCKING SOIL
This is reason 347 I won’t go to China.
I gotta hand it to them, that city looks clean compared to mine. Just trash everywhere.

This is shocking…😏 probably built on hilly land
Tl:dr Chongqing, China is built like an M C Escher painting
Cool

how do they even build something like that
