Wuhan looks nothing like this now, China's growth is insane.

What most of wuhan still look like this??

Kees’ walking videos are a relevation. Although there are other virtual walks out there, both on DVD and on KZbin (many of these amateurish and unwatchable without inducing vertigo), Kees’ are in a class by themselves in capturing the looks and sounds of the contemporary urban scene. As he plunks us down on a street somewhere in the world, and moves steadily forward, we experience a sense of total immersion in the throbbing life of that city. We move through often chaotic streams of pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, auto, and bus traffic, passing by the shops, restaurants, construction sites, and civic buildings of the current venue. The photography is so vivid that we almost feel jostled by the passing walkers or running kids, or in danger of being knocked down by careless motorcylists. (Hope Kees is being careful about his own safety as he records these scenes.) We pass shoppers, young couples in love, parents holding hands with their kids, giggling teenagers, street artists, people on their way to and from work, tourists, bikes impossibly laden with what seems like hundreds of pounds of goods. Every corner we turn brings new surprises and astonishing sights. I’ve viewed (as I walk the treadmill) only a small fraction of the hundreds of videos available, but enough to know that this body of work is a treasure trove. In making these videos for people who unable to do the kind of travel on display here, but who are nevertheless interested in “seeing the world,” Kees is performing an invaluable public service.

Larry B thanks Larry, very flattering .

[@abrahamyang9095]

+Larry B Couldn't agree more.

Well said 👍🏻❤️

Walking in Wuhan before it was uncool:

[@cliassh]

We say that Wuhan is a big construction site in these years because there are a lot of projects ongoing.

[@user-eu6sq3so4d]

you took what a special videos! you are my favorite channel. the same TV program exists on Japan where I live,too. the title 'Sekai Fureai Machiaruki(world friendly walking). I love the style that the cameraman have taken the street landscape continually without the special intention. The style is just equal with your style. I can have the emotion without going to foreign countries, easly. that is economical world youtube trip! thank you for uploading nice videos!

[@methyphenylacetic]

Having been away from Wuhan for one year after my last 3-month stay. The place in the video is exactly where i grew up. Thanks for uploading the video, Kees.

[@pakasack]

This is really cool, thanks for uploading!

[@BIGNICKELL1]

I agree totally with Larry B. I watched the video of walking in Old Delhi and the contrast of the cleanliness of the streets is astounding. Both countries have approximately the same population too.

[@costitravel]

A very beautiful video !!! Thanks for sharing it !!!

[@elenavanbc]

I really enjoyed this, thank you. I'll probably never be to that city or even China unless I win the lottery so it's great to watch videos like this one. You have good balance also - steady camera even when you have to watch where you go like the last bit.

[@MarcosSteckham]

Hey Kees, I love your videos. This are a very interesting experiment. You feel like if you were there :) Please keep this great job!

thanks for all your videos, keeezi, this is the kind of travel i enjoy, myself; and in most cases, few or no tourists. the two things that amaze me in this Wuhan video are, one, the number of busses on the street, and two (and more amazing to me as a new yorker) that people ride motor scooters on the sidewalk with the pedestrians. wow!!

[@singhi89]

Thanks, this video brings me back to the time I was living in Wuhan. It's familiar, the faces, the roads, the color of sky, the crowd, the buses, the clothes people wearing, the trees by the roads. I was 24 years then, a young guy with many dreams. But now...🙂

[@lizpearl8877]

Such a nice clean city, don't see much litter around, definitely no stray animals, and not as much crazy honking like in other countries around the world. Even, the construction site along the road looks so clean and neat, like I'm amazed. Very impressed !!!

[@xesolor]

Holy cow this is virtually like every other street in every other city in China, that traffic noise, the deafening symphony of horns, dust and brakes screeching... Nostalgic, in a really depressing way.

[@ExperienceCN]

Da ve this noise always reminds me of a great time. I love it! where can I buy the soundtrack ;)

I can see so many buildings underconstruction.

[@steamriceroll]

I do not mind to live there, the street is clean, no garbage. But why the motorcyclist can use the pedestrians walkway? It is not too crowded, not bad. I have never visited China before. I like street food. There is not much street food in Hong Kong anymore.

[@light487]

Thanks for sharing. I visited Wuhan in 2009 but I never ventured out too far from the hostel I was staying at. I went to the Yellow Crane Tower and across the bridge over the big river and a few other places.. but never to the areas in this video :) It was my first solo trip to China, so I was still a little worried I would get lost :) May I ask what camera you used to do this? It doesn't seem like people are noticing you filming. I never had the confidence to walk around with a video camera, even a micro one, when I visited China.. I always wanted to.

[@keeziwalks]

my camera is Canon Legria HF G25 with a pistol grip. and people think that i am just another crazy tourist

[@shirlryguo1630]

LOL your greatly underestimating India in shittiness, while over stating China's. Have you seen some areas of harlem? Try cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzen, Guandong, Hong kong, etc. I'm sure in every country you can find 3rd world like sittings, like detroit or fresno or madrid.
