In our last video, I said navigating Chongqing is like being trapped inside a dream. This video shows exactly what I meant.

(Sources is hughchonqing from TikTok, I think)

By the way, the Chungking in "Chungking Express" is the Cantonese pronunciation of Chongqing.

The movie name makes a lot of sense now that you know about how surreal the city is.

@accentedcinema This feels non-Euclidian. Though I'm reasonably certain it's not.

This seems incredibly awesome and I would love for Australia to have this level of urban development.

@accentedcinema What is this Inception shit?

(I'm thrilled)

@accentedcinema Fascinating! As if you are walking through an MC Escher painting (The link goes to the website of the Washington National Gallery of Art showing the work "Up and Down" by the Dutch Artist M. C. Escher https://www.nga.gov/artworks/47950-and-down)

@accentedcinema Gamedevs need to capture some of this energy!
This is amazing.
@accentedcinema "The suspect is leaving the building on the ground floor" would not help catching him 😄
@masek @accentedcinema
This is one of or the biggest city in the world, surrounded by mountains, build on hills, it is also called "city of mountains".
After all, this makes this video much more plausible.
@masek @accentedcinema I also feel like there is some variation where you can navigate the entire city and never touch the ground.
@accentedcinema Feels like it should have one of these https://youtu.be/iBY4HaAngaA?feature=shared

@accentedcinema I know a place in germany where the ground floor in one spot is elevated compared to another, but that's like, 2 ground floors total.
this is on a whole 'nother level.
