Inside China’s BIGGEST and CRAZIEST City: Chongqing 🇨🇳

I spent 2 days inside China’s BIGGEST and CRAZIEST city – and not just China’s. Chongqing is the biggest city in the world. With over 32 million residents, this city is on a different level. In this travel vlog, I explore some of the most mind-blowing and futuristic places you’ll ever see. A train that goes straight through an apartment building. Robots serving food inside old bomb shelters. Hongya Cave, a shopping mall built like an ancient Chinese village. Because of its mountainous structure, Chongqing is known as the “8D City” – with endless layers, platforms, and streets stacked vertically. You are never on the ground floor. Its neon-lit chaos, towering buildings, and surreal layout have earned it nicknames like the Cyberpunk City and the real-life Blade Runner city. This place is not only the biggest city in the world – it might also be the coolest. Watch the full video and experience what it’s like to dive deep into the wildest city on Earth.
