Jiaozi Park and the Spiral Bridge were both originally designed by the Liu Yi team from China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute.

The design inspiration comes from lotus leaves

I am Chinese. I grew up in the place shown in these pictures during the 1980s. I took these photos today, photos today, even though I no longer live here.

When I lived here in the 80s and 90s, although the buildings were ugly, the buildings were warm and cozy, and everyone helped each other. My parents and my classmates' parents grew up together, and people here have known each other for three generations.

This is almost the rent here is almost the cheapest in the city right now.

I want to explore a question: although China is a developing country, it has no slums. So what is it actually like to live in a real slum (regardless of where in the world)?

edit：Can you still see the photos? It seems the photos have disappeared.

My city (Chengdu) has been using these rental bikes to solve the "last mile" problem after taking public transportation (to avoid walking). Additionally, for short commutes within 5 kilometers, these electric bikes (with a speed of less than 25 km/h) are used.

My own experience is excellent—I hardly ever need to walk, though of course you can still choose to. Using this mode of transportation doesn't mean the city is not pedestrian-friendly.

My question is: why hasn't it become popular in major cities around the world?

Live streaming e-commerce in our country is absolutely insane. It feels like nearly half of the Chinese population is doing it, and a small team that does well can achieve sales comparable to a listed company.

At first, I also thought it was just a trend, until Gao Zhikai, Vice President of the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), pulled out his liquor during a very serious political program...

I heard Americans say that this thing looks very old-fashioned to them.

Does your country have this form of sales? I mean, is it very popular, with many people making a living from it?

edit:Gao Zhikai is China's Fareed Zakaria. When he brought out that bottle of wine, my world collapsed.

Unfortunately, it's only sold for a short while at noon, not available in the evening.

Not Singapore, but I strongly agree with Singapore's approach,it is a model for us to learn from.

Solar without punk

Reddit users mostly come from Western countries, which are also the ones that have accepted a large number of Chinese immigrants. I want to ask, what are your thoughts on immigrants from China first generation immigrants, second generation immigrants, and even descendants of Chinese immigrants who cannot speak Chinese? Feel free to share both the good and the bad.

Of course, China also emigrates to other less developed countries, such as South America and Southeast Asia. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and opinions.

The photo is of my fellow alumna, Professor Li Feifei, who currently teaches at Stanford and has made outstanding contributions to artificial intelligence.

I'm currently living a digital nomad life in China. Today, a friend invited me to visit a digital nomad community, saying it would be a good fit for me.

This place is deep in the mountains, and it took us an hour to drive there. To be honest, it's not very convenient without a car. Overall, it's an independent community with office areas, accommodations, and more. Let me share some things I noticed.

1. There is a community canteen, and you can also cook for yourself.
2. There are currently about 20 to 30 people in this community, with quite a few international wanderers; I estimate they make up about one-fifth.
3. The environment is quite nice, and it seems pet-friendly.
4. The rent seems very cheap, less than $100 a week. If you have skills, such as teaching yoga or meditation, you can get free rent.
5. Additionally, you will be allocated a very small plot of land where you can grow some crops

I'm currently living a digital nomad life in China. Yesterday, a friend invited me to visit a digital nomad community, saying it would be a perfect fit for me. Let me share some parts of it that I think are very solar punk.

This place is hidden deep in the mountains, and it took an hour to drive there. To be honest, without a car, it's really not very convenient. Overall, it's an independent community—I saw about 20 or 30 young people working there.

1. Every member of the community can apply for a small plot of land to grow their own crops, and the food in the community canteen also comes from their own cultivation (though I suspect there is some purchasing involved, but it's a matter of proportion)

2. I didn't see any solar panels. I guessed it was due to the sunlight conditions in the area, but after chatting with the staff, I learned that this place uses 100% clean energy, specifically from a hydroelectric power station not far from here.

3. The ecology is quite good, with greenery everywhere

I also randomly shared some other pictures, and I hope to stay here for a while in the future.

Since the outbreak of the war in Iran, I have been driving an electric car, and I only came to refuel today because I need to go on a long trip tomorrow. For convenience, I calculate everything in US dollars.

The current fuel prices in Chengdu, China are approximately $1.19 per liter for 92-octane gasoline, $1.27 per liter for 95-octane gasoline, and $1.45 per liter for 98-octane gasoline. This translates to 92-octane: ≈ $4.50 per gallon, 95-octane: ≈ $4.80 per gallon, and 98-octane: ≈ $5.50 per gallon.

How are gasoline prices looking for everyone now?

They call it Lolita fashion. It is quite popular in China and also seems to be popular in Japan (I'm not sure if it's still trendy now, but it definitely was before). However, I haven't seen this style in South Korea.

Does your country have this kind of culture?
