When it comes to China's craziest city, Chongqing is the first thing that comes to mind. Built on top of a hill town, this city is known for its amazing cityscapes. There are not only "horizontal" skyscrapers that emerge from the sky, but also terrifying cliff swings and a complex road network that can make you lose your way for days.
Chongqing, a magical city that makes you "easy to get in, difficult to get out".
Chongqing's terrain is complex and diverse, with mountains and mountains, and it is difficult for any building to face undulating terrain. Therefore, many buildings choose to "stand upside" in order to make use of the limited flat space.
The most typical examples of this are the skyscrapers built "horizontally" on the mountain. The 35-storey Sunshine City Plaza is a "lying" building. It is built against the mountain, and the whole building is in a 90-degree flip state. Pedestrians standing in the square looking up at it will have a feeling of visual dislocation. It's no longer the horizon, it's the "mountain plane".
In addition, the Yuzhong Peninsula Museum also adopts an upside-down design. One end of the building plunges straight into the ground, while the other end is completely suspended in the air, like a "knife stuck in a mountain". Such a unique architectural style makes Chongqing's city skyline look new and distinctive.
Of course, Chongqing's "hanging landscape" is much more than just architecture. In Bashan, there is a commercial pedestrian street called "Chuxiong Feiyun Street", where there is a cliff swing! Yes, you heard it right, on the cliff of more than 200 meters, there is actually a huge swing erected in the middle, and people can swing in mid-air to enjoy the invincible city landscape.
Just imagine, under the feet is an abyss, surrounded by mountains and peaks, and in front of you is the gorgeous night of Chongqing. At the moment when the swing swings, the surrounding scenery flies by, which is needless to say that this excitement and thrill are not to mention.
In addition to the unique urban architecture, you can also see some quirky little objects on the streets of Chongqing from time to time. For example, the crooked mailbox, the car stuck between the walls, and the many small flowers that seem impossible to bloom but are still tenaciously open...... Together, the city is surprisingly tolerant and vibrant.
Chongqing has a complex and varied topography and streets. It's full of winding alleys, and stairs of all sizes are everywhere. The undulating and twisting terrain makes Chongqing's road network extremely complex.
Because of this, visitors to Chongqing often get lost in the veritable "mountain city labyrinth". If you're not careful, you may go around the small streets and alleys of Chongqing and can't find the exit. Therefore, when traveling to Chongqing, you must bring good navigation to prevent the embarrassing situation of "easy to come in, difficult to go out".
Chongqing is a city that integrates nature and city, quirky and smart. Here, new landscapes and thrilling experiences can be found everywhere. It's like the blood of the city, full of local flow, and it's what makes this city so special.
Therefore, Chongqing is a city that is crazy to the extreme. However, it is this madness that gives it its unique charm and makes it stand out as a miracle that the whole world marvels at and praises.
