This is a nightmare for someone with a fear of heights (me)

it’s not even the height for me, it looks very depressing in general. Grey, no vegetation and not very homely architecture

It looks dystopian and cosy at the same time

I’ve been to Chongqing in October and also February, and in both cases it was overcast and grey. There are some cool historical areas to wander around and plenty of good food, and as long as you’re OK with heights the views are spectacular from so many places around the city.
The guy has clearly shown some extreme bits of the city, and it really is that steep in some places. I remember taking a metro train that was high above the river before it entered a tunnel, then getting off at the next stop I had to climb about six storeys worth of stairs to get up to street level. So the commute is no joke!
Also, going off the beaten path is not recommended. I tried a few shortcuts and quickly found that any unpaved ground is basically slushy mud befitting the huge, regularly-flooding river valleys that make up the city. Not for the faint-hearted, or the white-shoed! This may be why hard surfaces are so ubiquitous there, contributing to the feeling of a lack of foliage.

Its hard to feel connected to the earth when you never touch it! Crazy.

Chongqing, an interesting place to visit, but you don’t want to live there.

Probably one of the number one places I never want to live or visit (acrophobic here).

They live in a damn hive city, straight out of warhammer 40k.

I have recurring nightmares about extremely high freeways and overpasses. So now I’m really fucked because my only saving grace was that it was just a figment of my imagination.

Chongqing’s skyline looks like something out of a sci-fi movie
