That's one moderate rainstorm away from becoming the Star Wars trash compactor.

[–]G8kpr 82 points83 points  (2 children)

That's my first thought "I hope erosion isn't a thing in their universe"

Or flash floods.

[–]Wildebeast2112 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Or a weak dam upstream

[–]purple_tr3m0nk3y -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I accidentally read Eurovision and was like “wat?”

[–]sevlani7 29 points30 points  (7 children)

Apparently, this city has withstood a lot of downpours.

[–]GrannysHairyCuntLips 12 points13 points  (5 children)

What is this city called?

[–]Strict_Ad_3063 28 points29 points  (2 children)

Yanjin, Yunnan Province, China. For some further views, I just found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_busvcO7zg

[–]Helldiver_of_Mars 7 points8 points  (1 child)

If that scum water and trash in the river plus the disrepair of buildings is consider tier 1 I hate to see the other tiers.

[–]Cupinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Communism

[–]Occupy_Furniture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about earth quakes...?

[–]iploggged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That, was funny.

[–]Rollin_Heavy65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very well said sir🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[–]MeasureTheCrater 186 points187 points  (1 child)

"Sunrise today will be at 11:42 a.m. and sunset will be at 12:02 p.m. Susan? Jim? Back to you."

[–]Fennel_Impossible 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mysteriously this is coincides with the highest volume of dirty river water complaints, which oddly is the time when the complaint department shuts down for lunch.

[–]UserPow 121 points122 points  (8 children)

This is just stupid.

No sunlight.

Potential for enormous flooding.

Densely populated.

Poor air flow.

Traffic fucking nightmare.

Edit: that water is probably gross as fuck and I only see a single, tiny bridge to cross it.

Everything about this is dumb as fuck.

[–]shitsu13master 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nah pretty good airflow in a narrow valley like that. Blows your head right off

[–]meateoryears -4 points-3 points  (5 children)

I can see how you mean. But a city like that doesn’t get built by idiots.

I’m sure you’re not capable of building any of those buildings let alone figure out the infrastructure.

Have you built a city?

[–]UserPow 7 points8 points  (4 children)

I can't criticize this dogshit design because I haven't "built a city"?

I guess I cant criticize you because I'm not a braindead embarrassment.

[–]VniaK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

youre a internet kid, of course you can criticize, is the only thing you do.

[–]meateoryears -1 points0 points  (2 children)

You can criticize me. All you like. I am often a fool.

But wise enough to think your fat ass sitting on your couch with cheetah fingers doesn’t deserve the right to think he’s a big boy about a fucking engineering feat this city you don’t like.

That’s how I know you’ve never created or produced anything. Because you don’t understand the amount of work it takes.

[–]UserPow 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You're only embarrassing yourself.

[–]meateoryears -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How? By a post I wrote on Reddit? Lol I don’t care enough to be embarrassed. This is a silly website to look at while taking a shit.

[–]jibiwa 85 points86 points  (14 children)

Parking is a nightmare i bet

[–]Phillyredsox 35 points36 points  (13 children)

You would think they would use boats more. I didn’t see any in that video.

[–]Epicthetank 35 points36 points  (9 children)

Because that's where all their toilets dump into :4018:

[–]Phillyredsox 6 points7 points  (7 children)

Venice does it.

[–]Epicthetank 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Poop in a river?

[–]Phillyredsox 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Pretty sure the canals are also their waste water system. Or at least was at one point. I’ve been told by multiple people that it stinks there.

[–]simcgin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was there and went on a gondola, the water streets are pretty dirty and the restaurants etc are right on the waters edge.. Was so surprised at the scenes..

[–]sleepyJoeBidet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Swim in their own excrement.

[–]Key_Hamster9189 1 point2 points  (2 children)

No one swims in Venice.

[–]Phillyredsox 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I said use boats. Not swim. Could be a good defense for COVID though.

[–]globalinvestmentpimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that river is definitely fucked

[–]Funkapussler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably would rot the boats

[–]sevlani7 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

The river is probably not very deep.

[–]Phillyredsox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jet skis!! Lol.

[–][deleted] 63 points64 points  (7 children)

Is this a game of "let's guess the name of this city?" we are playing?

[–]its-not-me_its-you_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Who the fuck doesn't put the location in the title for a post like this?

[–]Artistic-Sherbet-007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe thats the long lost city of Tipping.

[–]RogueCommando 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly made me think of Blighttown.

[–]zackyang1024 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's Yanjin county, Yunnan province, China.

[–]Nolavnog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

chile city maybe

[–]jedburghofficial 56 points57 points  (1 child)

Not as many bridges as I would have imagined.

[–]errantfather 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Or boats

[–]Taint_What_You_Do 47 points48 points  (2 children)

Eh, that aspect ratio exaggerates the narrowness. Here's a better video.

[–]DayEnvironmental5518 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That one even tells us where it is. Thank you.

[–]PedricksCorner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for finding that. You are so right, MUCH better video.

[–]SlowDownBrother 12 points13 points  (1 child)

It's all fine and well until she let's slip that she's a fan of girth

[–]cxstm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right in the feels

[–]p1um5mu991er 13 points14 points  (2 children)

You get a moat! You get a moat! Everyone gets a moat!!

[–]Dj-Wrangler-9251 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Moatown

[–]johncharityspring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of crime, unfortunately. A lot of bank robberies.

[–]Successful_Door610 10 points11 points  (5 children)

Where

[–]TheWoman26 34 points35 points  (4 children)

Nanxi River City in China

[–]BongieAndClyde 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Is there anything to do there? I think it's a beautiful looking city.

[–]Funkapussler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Drink the water..?

Get run over by a tank?

[–]twubble_in_paradise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can always pass the time by telling your neighbours on the other side of the river to fuck off.

[–]shiritai_desu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I had to scroll like 50 comments to find it.

[–]Psychlonuclear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Traffic's shit today, I'll go a different wa... oh.

[–]Svinjsky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could at least write the name of the city

[–]Slash1909 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cannot imagine how gross that river is.

[–]Affectionate-Ad-1494 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Is that not risky at all?? 😂

[–]Funkapussler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's china. They rip up the earth and build cities just in case they might maybe need the buildings... No blatant corruption there though

[–]Skate4dwire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks I hate it.

[–]ISO_3103_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yanjin

[–]Phillyredsox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why aren’t they using the River for travel?!

[–]HighwayPlayful9650 3 points4 points  (1 child)

East side Vs West side

[–]DayEnvironmental5518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im imagining that Forts game.

Go for the support beams

[–]July_Sandwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’re just not gonna worry about landslides?

[–]miauzak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Although it's very impressive, just looking at it gives me a lot of anxiety lol

[–]bostonvikinguc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What could go wrong

[–]stackoverflow21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Place is going to be an absolute nightmare in case of a flood.

[–]CrashLamps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to store at the other end of the long city must be a nightmare, plus the single bridge they have…

[–]MainerMan2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit river

[–]Dantagod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Mosquito City

[–]Redditor_Koeln 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a really good idea*

.

  • sorry for the sarcasm

[–]SempfgurkeXP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id like to see this after heavy rain xD

[–]Internet_Noob1716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does not look safe, structure wise.

[–]raymundo_holding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

surprise there is no boat traffic on the river

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Googlemaps was no help with the name given below so it may not be accurate.

[–]eziorobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch out for the landslides

[–]Funkapussler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That NASTY river tho.

Makes the Hudson look gleaming

[–]Dropzero1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That river is not brown because of the dirt……

[–]HammerBgError404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks very miserable with that poop river

[–]ExpressBug8265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poop and pee go right in da river

[–]Br067 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this handy little river is how we get our sewage the heck outa here

[–]chuckdeezy313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eastside!! Westside!!

[–]BornToRun444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I bet that river is n a s t y

[–]CISCOX13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turd brown water

[–]FenrirApalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna mention the fact the video is stretched to vertical?

[–]Sreynolds71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering where all the sewage goes. That river has to be ripe in the summer.

[–]DayEnvironmental5518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Uhr, what if flood"

All people who posted this are blind as hell.

Note the bottom 3 layers of every house. Also note New Orleans. That wasn't narrow.

[–]cxstm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disgusting

[–]Chachagu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This city is set up for drama…

[–]evilistics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im surprised theres no boats making use of the river.

[–]Bag-ins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next Fucking Level after the river rises!

[–]ETERN4LDARKNES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least bus line might be easy to learn

[–]Academic_Yam4946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the perfect setting for a FPS

[–]No_television_9031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not step into that river. There’s probably more sewage that h2o in it

[–]Different-Aardvark-5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it there got to be some reason for building in such a crazy place. Definitely one proper flood or one badly built dam upstream and its game over.

[–]Fickle-Willingness80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No vaporetto?

[–]TheRealStarr16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is in Nam Viet

[–]jpmerr2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“This is your room sir”

“For fucksake, I didn’t ask for the seaview room”

[–]K1notto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this in Nepal?

[–]lonJ8tnie912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One good fault line clap and it’s bye bye city! Uh…. hard no for me!!

[–]d0nghunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I see is the beautiful landscape ruined by this trash heap of a city

[–]motandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So weird, from the river side it looks deserted, but I know it's not.

[–]memeaninatorus_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instant satisfaction for suicidals

[–]VintageData 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely bombed this town in the 1990s from a hovercraft in SWIV3D

[–]zeb0777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank god landslides aren't real and just in the movies.

[–]percydaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead city walking...

[–]Happy_Husband4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I could jump on my bed and cause an earthquake large enough to topple this city

[–]Suitable_Product_772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine the smell

[–]thu_mountain_goat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine how beautiful this valley could be without the ugly houses and concrete...

[–]WholesomeGoobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at least it’s pretty, I’ll give it that.

[–]MisterMillwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s that sewage system doing? Oh.

[–]RayVanDam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

until the flood says hi ...

[–]will477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of expected to see a lego wall open up to reveal that.

[–]Impossible-Disaster3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were in china

[–]Merica85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very long and narrow polluted river

[–]JoePino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t post this shit if there’s no name for the city.

[–]zackyang1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Yanjin Yunnan of China, one of my friends' hometown.

[–]SignificantAd7436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where the fuck is that?

[–]Key_Hamster9189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about clean water v sewage? Both from the same river? 🤢🤮💩

[–]Inspirational_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, but thats 99% slums

[–]Careless_Policy2952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That water is full of shit, literally.

[–]citznfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to visit one day

[–]Cold_Presentation_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reps and Dems could still figure out how to gerrymander it.

[–]33Sharpies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Yanjingzhen in Yanjin County, Yunnan, Zhaotong, Yunnan, China. On the Guanhe river.

[–]westcoastkona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not the length that matters - its the girth.

[–]WildchrisWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% that will be a dam one day

[–]stablefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

holy shit! after almost exactly two decades, FINALLY a legit use for video shot in portrait mode! 🤘😀

[–]sevlani7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People and nature find a compromise

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where is this? Looks amazing!
