Walking Tour Of Slum Hebei New Village in Liuzhou, China

Hebei New Village in Liuzhou City is situated in a deep alley in the city center. it was established in 1951 as the earliest and largest residential area in the city. However, it is now the worst and least livable old urban community.
As you enter the neighborhood, you can see electric wires and cables resembling spider webs everywhere, exposed sewers, and very poor public hygiene. In the past, hundreds of households shared a single public facility with less than ten squat toilets. There are many dilapidated and dangerous houses, narrow public passages, serious fire and security issues, and numerous safety hazards, making it a very unsafe place to live.

Wow crazy! My wife's family comes from a small rural village in hunan and it looks very similar!

[@China_small_cities_record]

The distance from here to the Hunan border is 470 km, and the climate is quite similar. Perhaps because of this, the architectural styles have many similarities.

@@China_small_cities_record Ah thanks for the info!

It's not a "slum", it's just old - and safer than any American city.

[@marcbayarea1980]

It was built in 1951. That's not old.

[@marcbayarea1980]

That's a slum.

@@marcbayarea1980 Your logic is totaly wrong. Have you found any children here? Think about it with your wisdom.

cmiiw another channel with similar content explain there is no direct translation for this kind of residences in english, so they use slum from dictionary.

[@marcbayarea1980]

@@nogosari3596 I understand why those places exist and their function in the city and in society as a whole. It’s always great to have a roof over your head, but those residential areas are dilapidated and moldy. On top of that, those buildings are only 80 years old. There is a high probability that most current residential buildings in China will look like that in the near future due to poor construction.

Besides the chinese people, this could pass as Detroit

Or L.A.

[@marcbayarea1980]

@@SneedforSpeed This is worse. Even Detroit isn't that nasty.

[@xbender521]

@@marcbayarea1980 Totally distinct. Here in China is lagging behind but very safe, while Detroit is famous for its violent, killing with guns.

looks like L.A.
