Biggest City in the World You Never Heard Of: CHONGQING, CHINA

[@silveriver9]

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.

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.

[@carolynstevenson1683]

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.

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 😊

[@realcoolvision]

True. I guess I was a little bit late to the party 😂

[@C00ltronix]

ChongQing does not have 32mio people. He confuses the city of ChongQing with the municipality (province) ChongQing, that has 32mio people and spreads out over 82,000Km², about the size of Austria.

[@wkrp01]

@@C00ltronix Yes. South Carolina is about the same size. It's as if the state of New York were officially called "New York City" and the actual city was simply called "New York". It's just a labeling error. The province-like area, which is labeled as a city, may have 32M. But that region contains many cities, you can see various dots on the map, one of which is also called Chongqing, which is only a fraction of the total.

[@mountainwest3444]

Yes I have heard of Chongqing before -- about a week ago. That is when "Matt and Julia" posted a video about their time visiting the city. And they showed the "ground floor" shopping plaza that is actually 22 floors up and stood and filmed from the exact spot you were standing. They also showed the Public Transit going inside of that building (which is actually a train stop). I was thinking you almost bumped into each other. Very nice and Great informative Video Slava !!! Keep up the good work. Cheers!

[@bolychan2310]

You can visit Tianjin, another municipality directly under the Central Government of China. This city is more westernized than Shanghai. More than 100 years ago, Europeans built their national style buildings in different areas of Tianjin, such as classical literature and art, baroque, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek, Renaissance and so on. Even the Austro-Hungarian Empire left a piece of architecture here before its demise. For a westerner like you, I think it will be interesting to see so many western architectural styles concentrated in one city.

@CoolVision, great video. One thing I would like to point out is that Chongqing was China's capital during the war-time (WWII) after Nanjing was occupied by Japan. Chongqing was the political center of China's anti-war effort. Soviet embassy to China was also relocated to Chongqing as did American embassy and the diplomatic missions of most other countries.

[@tigading2177]

There is no such thing as American Embassy, all American embassy are in fact C!A safe houses for conducting covert, regime change operations, they orchestrated the Tiananmen incident, HK riot and XJ separatists are all funded by the US.

Thanks for these great memories!! Spent a few periods working at a Chongqing College, however it's 10 years since I was last there. But you can never forget the hot pot with your own crate of beer at your feet, or compai chicken, and all the other food. A city of many cities, each different , and all amazing. One highlight was catching the monorail 'subway' to the zoo. Well, to be honest, it's a pretty crappy zoo, expect for the pandas. A great exhibition, and no crowds, not like Chengdu or Beijing. Ciciqou, Hongyadong, and Yangzte River cruise (both directions) are also great memories.

I haven't been in Chongqing for 12 years now. At the time it was already a huge city, but man has it been modernised like crazy. In 2012 we had to walk through the rubles of the old neighborhood we were staying in to get to the hostel. Sad to see the old houses being destroyed.
