What does an apartment complex for a population of 500,000 in China's Guizhou province look like?

There is an apartment complex in China, with 500,000 people living in it. It used to be the largest slum in China. Later, many apartments were built here through renovation. It is located in the city center and has convenient transportation. Due to the concentrated population, the price of goods is very low. Low, it looks depressing at first glance, so how do the people who live here feel? Let me take you to see it with the lens!

30:22 wow, look at those apartments! I want to visit China again. greetings from Norway.

[@Michael-G-]

It's amazing that the population is only .5 million. I'm from a city with roughly 1.5 million people and we only have like one building that could rival the height of these. It's impressive.

[@mikrokupu]

This apartment complex is a part of the Guiyang City, that has a population of 4,8m

[@NoctisAquila]

Scary… truly an urban jungle. On one hand it’s inpressive, on the other it’s terrifyingly dystopian. You can’t even see the sky - it feels depressing, tight, weirdly claustrophobic and safocating… all while maintaining a sense of awe.. I’d be interesting to interview a few people who actually live there just to get a sense of an every-day average life is like. The fact that it’s so quiet, without much chatter in the streets makes this place feel eery.

[@NoctisAquila]

@@AD-ln2xu yeah… so… unsettling (I can’t believe I’m wishing for honks)

[@felixdom9693]

People mind their own business unlimited other countries who's always interpret to other business. Try to live here first then talk 😂 oh if you want nature China has everything all type of nature you can go to country side with all beautiful scenery

[@NoctisAquila]

@@felixdom9693 omg Chinese propaganda STOP! Nobody’s dissing China, some of us- no MOST OF US- find this dystopian and unsettling, not necessarily in a bad way, it’s just a bit uncanny, chill

[@vhangpu1292]

Wow... Very very beautiful Guizhou city

[@rpvofficiel2184]

personally i dont like too many buildings in the same area like this . but yes its pretty impressive

[@edwinrivera1879]

I like how clean it looks

[@Aroden0x]

Incredible monolithic structures, as big as mountains.

[@DarxKies]

It would have been nice if you filmed those 1st-3rd floor shops inside the buildings.

[@CN_Walking]

😄, yes, not enough shots of the interior. Only found out when I edited. Thanks for your advice

[@tonysofla]

@@CN_Walking And is there a building code what floor 3 and above can be? or did you see that there is a business creep upwards?

[@My-nl6sg]

​@@tonysofla While the community is basically mixed-used, It seems to depend on the building as to how it's divided. From what I can tell there are basically two classes: pure commercial and a podium-typology-mixed-residential. The former is commercial all the way up; the podium typology is where a few levels of the bottom, the podium, purely serve commercial use, while levels above the podium serve purely commercial. But no building is purely residential down to the ground. From the looks of it, the transformation from commercial to residential once built (unless as a hotel) seems to be forbidden, however, commercial seems to be able to creep up beyond the podium into higher originally residential units.

[@markpalmer1951]

I’m digging those neon barber shop cylindrical lights I miss those here in America

[@Lance3015]

seeing ~40 story residential building is kinda intimidating. theyre so gigantic, and so close together. and yet it doesnt seem like a lot of people walking around, how is it not crowded all the time?

[@CN_Walking]

Because the buildings are very tall, the road looks narrow, but the road here is very wide.

[@minchoi6279]

That apartment looks like real Castle! Its so interesting

[@lonemountain3049]

china is on another level, big respect to chinese people

[@CN_Walking]

thank you

[@LLAustraliaLetsGoShopping]

Nice ❤

[@slammerton]

I didn't see any bikes. Is biking no common thing in China? Or is it just the area in China? (In Europe it also differs a lot from place to place)

[@The_Hero_Is_Back]

Suggestion: if you are doing another video, perhaps make it shorter and include commentary. The commentary could be either a voiceover or subtitles. It would explain more of what we are seeing. I still think this is one of the best films I’ve ever seen on KZbin. It was totally immersive. And some shorts from higher up in the buildings, at night, would have been great. Really good work.

[@tonysofla]

These videos are ASMR style, like dancingbacons or this another channels tour of this same city kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKfUaqOvl72aY5Y

[@CN_Walking]

Thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it.

[@Marketingkorea2024]

Absolutely right! While I watching this video, my attention goes away😢

[@morganstanley6356]

@@CN_Walking You would lose subscribers if you had commentary. DONT listen to that guy

[@umbra7299]

​​@@CN_Walking agree with the guy right above, I came here from the same kind of video of someone walking through neighborhood in the US. I think a lot of people like these kinds of videos because it shows how a city is actually living, no commentary, no special events just shows how it feels to live there and walk in the streets gives a good impression of what the inhabitants are seeing/living etc. great video btw love the footage gives us a good impression of the insane scale ! love the decision you took for the angle of the camera shots. the only advice I can think of is maybe some variety, to alternate between big and large open spaces and smaller one (if they even exist in this huge city !)

[@ainsleyharriott2209]

I’d love to visit as it’s so different to where I live

[@Kalas82]

fascinating how familiar this looks, looking at Munich and co. and as a german, it looks very familiar in places the size of it all is just beyond believe. goes to show you what a massive country China is. very interesting video thanks

[@Neverflat]

Yup, it's not chilling to see 😂

[@kimhan3864]

Muy bonitos edificios.

[@myeonwooozheng5263]

Even in China,this scenery is not so common in major cities.Huaguoyuan Community is the biggest living habitation in China because of the demographic; geographic and city planning aspects.There is absolutely the city of iron and concrete.

[@myeonwooozheng5263]

Even if Guiyang,Guizhou Province is still the capital of an inland,mountainous and under-development province.

[@CHIEFCEAZR]

I like the car free spaces just needs some parks and nature I. The plan. Half a mill people and probably about couple thousand trees little no shade other than those buildings. Really liking nature looks like and outdoor mall with no escalators. Wheel chairs forget about it. Public transportation? So where are the trees 🌳 🤔 for shade and air production at? Hills grass parks Forrest, lakes, rivers, creaks or even a farm. Tons of concrete idk about a future like this. Can't forget nature! That parks looked like a zoo scene, like you can't go in it and looking at scale how manyn0eo0le could actually fit

[@Agel0071]

It's impressive, but it's also kind of terrifying. These gigantic houses have no end in sight, on the one hand it is certainly progress and beauty, but on the other hand it evokes a kind of fear, I can't even explain, a kind of backstage

[@cheungchingtong]

When you got a population of 1.4 billions, my friend. lol

@@cheungchingtong population density of EU: 103 ppl per sq km. Population density of china 134 ppl per sq km. It’s not that different. There is no real necessity to build these tall buildings in China

[@ryangonzales7716]

@@GH98HJ Last time I checked there's no desert in the EU. A large chunk of China is eaten by the Gobi desert. So EU as a whole has more usable land and the population density argument which is very dependent on geography is flimsy.

[@futurethinking]

@@GH98HJ people like to live in big cities, this is what everyone here complaining about lack of nature pretends to not understand. China provides that opportunity for the majority, Europe only provides it for select few well connected wealthy men. These buildings are necessary if everyone is to given the opportunity.

I can’t tell you how much anxiety this gives me! No green space, everything is grimey & claustrophobic - & OMG, all those windows & balconies stacked on top of each other, peering down on you like some massive fish bowl. It’s very dystopian feeling.
