[4K]Walking in dense buildings, said to be the largest residential area in Asia, Huaguoyuan, Guiyang

As a European living in a small old city, this look unreal. It's like I'm watching a sci-fi cyberpunk movie.

I'm impressed by how pedestrian friendly this city infrastructure seems to be, good design. The biggest critique I have is the total lack of greenery, how hard would it be to plant a few small trees or boulevards to break up these enormous paved squares?

Fascinating perspective. People must be moving into and out of those massive buildings every day. Can't help but think of all the water, electricity, Internet, food, trash services needed to support so many people.

It’s so mind blowing… watching a video of hundreds of people literally on the other side of the planet living their lives with no interest or insight to how the world is on my side. Just moments before watching, I had no idea these people living their lives existed, and now I am so incredibly invested in the daily rhythm of the locals there.

When I was in China I was amazed at how even in extremely densely populated areas the non-major streets are so quiet and pleasant. It really is just cars and trucks that make cities loud

Ultra-high residential density, but at the same time it is not particularly noisy, without heavy vehicles traffic and quite clean.

I don't know what it is exactly but I find videos of these sorts of places totally captivating. The atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in the world. At first glance its a bit brutal, but there is so much life and personality and beauty in every little moment you catch.

So clean. Amazing to be so dense yet free of litter. America could learn some lessons here.

I lived in China for four years teaching English. The last city I lived in was Guangzhou in a residential area similar to this. I really miss it to be honest. The level of convenience was unlike anywehere else (countrywise) that I have ever lived. Whatever you need/want at any time of day or night is right there. And it always felt extremely safe.

Feels like an architectural surrealist landscape

The vibe and energy here is incredible. Thank you for sharing

Having lived in China for a year I can tell you it's just a different planet man. So unique, so different. I'll never forget my experience. And I look forward to going back there one day.

Looks like a movie. I was especially impressed by the 3-level overpass expressway, and yet another bridge over it.

Forget concrete jungle, this is a concrete rainforest!

Thanks for the cool footage of a different world🎥

I was in Guiyang in 2018 and I have pictures of these buildings, they were one of the first things I photographed on my way from the airport into the city center. I remember what might be the same avenue as the one shown in the 'most replayed' section. I don't know how Youtube has known to recommend me this video, or if it's maybe just pure coincidence. I was traveling with a girlfriend (she's European but she was living in China at the time), and at one point that morning she cried because we had invested money and time to go see rice terraces and other natural landscapes, yet the first stop on the trip was this overwhelming concrete monstruosity. I could totally understand her feeling, and yet I was actually excited because for me to see this vastly different urban landscape was exciting in and of itself. This was my first time in mainland China, and my first time in Asia overall, and seeing this hive-like environment felt surreal, futuristic, like something out a cyberpunk movie.

Here I provide some information you don't know about: 1. Guiyang is located in southwest China. The weather there is very comfortable. Not hot in summer, nor cold in winter. Therefore, the weather permits people to live comfortably even in densely populated areas. 2. Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou province. The whole province is almost fully covered by mountains and valleys. The people there do not lack trees or countryside scenes, but extremely lack of plains and urban areas. Actually, only 7% of the province is flatland that is suitable for living. Therefore the people there may prefer to live in such a crowded place. 3. I am very afraid of its future. 20 or 30 years later, these buildings may lack good maintenance because the maintenance fee may rise year by year. With the extremely low fertility rate nowadays. The people there may not want to keep these tall buildings and these places may be concrete deserts in the future.

I was in Guiyang like ten years ago and it was pretty small and old-looking. That's the dizzying thing in China -- you go someplace, leave for a few years, and it's unrecognizable. You're like, "Where's my old neighborhood? It's gone! The tallest building had four stories! Now there are all these skyscrapers!"

As an Indian i am ashamed why we don't have such beautiful, clean and calm cities in india😔😢

Really great. Thanks for this! Enjoyed it 100%! Hope to see you walk with me too!
