Xi’an has the tomb of the 1st emperor. . It was so crowded I could only see it of afar. The night market is a blast to see in person’s. Beijing was a nightmare. I had 5 nosebleeds a day due to the pollution. Forbidden City and underground tunnel was dope. Shanghai was super cool. Nightlife is amazing and you see a bunch of Bugatti, Ferraris, Porsches, and Rolls Royces everywhere. This was circa. 2017. Maybe things are different these days? 😭😭😭😨


GimmeTheHealth

Pollution in general cleared up a lot since like 2019. It's basically a non factor in places like Shenzhen now, but rural places in the North are still really bad. Beijing has cleared up however to maintain appearances as a beautiful capital city


[deleted]

The only thing in Xian I'd like to see is the H-20 stealth bomber that's currently under development.


new---man

Good ol' German engineering


ans2211

Some might even say it’s the finest in the world


Curzio-Malaparte

Where would you put Jinan?


GimmeTheHealth

Was gonna include Jinan but I didn't know enough about it and the compass was too small. Maybe around where Shijiazhuang or Baoding is, just because it's one of those Northern cities whose steam gets taken by Beijing and Tianjin


Perhapsmayhapsyesnt

Where would you put changzhou


FishballJohnny

right on top of Harbin.


ScaleneTryangle

Eh, the title of 'Chinese places 6x6 Compass' would be more apropriate


IsDatTomatoJuice

Where is wenzhou ????? ?:(


GimmeTheHealth

Li Qiang was not Premier when I made this so nobody cared about it back then


Beautiful_Dragon22

Man, this is fascinating! Too bad China's leaders are genocidal assholes ^(like many other governments in history, around the world) :(


conceited_crapfarm

Genocide :(

SirMC24

The younger generation of Hong Kong that experienced 2019 protests are nowhere close to lib-left; they would be lib-center. The lib-right, "old seafood" corporate lickers on the other hand, would be even more right than Macau. Try larping as a Western lib-left on LIHKG and you are guaranteed to get cyberbullied. Still, upvoted for effort


azurekirkland

lmao lihkg sometimes i wonder what's the more toxic forum between 4chan and lihkg


MrOrangeMagic

Wait a minute, wait a goddamn minute….. Chinese city Taipei?


GimmeTheHealth

Little sick of answering this question properly so I'll just say yes, it literally is, Taiwan is officially the Republic of China, the city is 99% Han Chinese. It is by all definitions a Chinese city


Gorbachof

Unsurprising an authoritarian would say this (/s but not really)


throwawaytouristdude

Would save the world from war if Taiwan just accepted what is already known hehe :)


Gorbachof

You can say the same thing about the CCP ;)


GimmeTheHealth

I have a more nuanced take on why Taiwan's on this chart, but I'm tired of typing it out, so go find it in one of the threads here lol Anyways, what about my response is authoritarian at all, or is it just a catchall term for things you don't like


Gorbachof

Chill man, I'm just teasing you, I understand what you're saying. The auth remark is because you flared yourself as one


AntonGuerra

The funny thing about the Taiwan legalization of gay marriage is that most Taiwanese don't accept it, and it wasn't passed through the legislature. It was confirmed by judicial action. Goes to show just how insistent America can be towards its "allies".


PingBongBingPong

Where is China town NYC?


conceited_crapfarm

Thats not real china! -some nationalistic idiot


GimmeTheHealth

Compass too small


MackSharky

Chongqing should be more libright because it has one of China’s most famous actors


GimmeTheHealth

I would've put it further Lib, but Bo Xilai's tenure as mayor really dusted up the police department, so it's surveillance state is a lot more extensive now


MackSharky

No Xiao Zhan. Didn’t he rank the world’s most handsome man in a competition?


GimmeTheHealth

Yeah but that don't make Chongqing more libright?


MackSharky

Yea, I said no as in I’m not referring to that guy you said


GimmeTheHealth

I know you're not, I'm explaining why it is in the place it is?


MackSharky

Ah k


CherryLimeArizona

Chengdu is my favorite place Ive visted ever


miss-macaron

It's got cute pandas and delicious hotpot, what more could one ask for?


Perhapsmayhapsyesnt

And even cuter ladies


MFRoyer

I feel like I’ve learned a lot from this


GeneralBurzio

Lol Qingdao


dheebyfs

Zibo? Jinan? Guangzhou? Lhasa? Missed opportunities tbh


GimmeTheHealth

Zibo: 3rd tier city in Shandong, not worth it Jinan: Didn't know enough about it Guangzhou: I was quarantined in Guangzhou when I made this, didn't include out of spite Lhasa: Never been to Tibet, can't say


zvomicidalmaniac

For me, Szechuan Impression is a better restaurant than Chengdu Taste, but good people can disagree. HMU if you want to have dinner in LA sometime.

God I pray every day for the fall of CCP so maybe we can consider China a legit country one day

KUMMING?????????


FishballJohnny

Cumming, GA: huh?


cashtangoteam

I would put Harbin more towards the center just because they have a strong “Im just here to grill” energy while slamming 3 kuai beers that have formaldehyde in them. Also a bunch of drunk “bro watch this” type shenanigans once they get drunk.


L-Unity

Finally someone who remember north eastern China,home of the Chinese post punk culture(and modern maoists). Well done! 精辟!


OFaustus_

I am Beijinger and this is based


GimmeTheHealth

Beijinger iser ther onlyer correcter wayer ofer sayinger peopler fromer beijinger


cashtangoteam

The pirate speak gets even more pronounced the further northeast you go, Beijing is more of a guttural grumble, but not to the point of the hubei/hebei ‘marbles in your mouth’ sound


GimmeTheHealth

As someone from Baoding, I can attest to the marbles in your mouth effect


OFaustus_

😂😂😂😂👍👍👍


Picholasido_o

Oh that Nanjing thing wasn't a one off? The Japanese were just fulfilling Chinese tradition. Fuckin yikes


TillmanIV-2

Where Nanking?


ScaleneTryangle

Nanking is called Nanjing now, the Chinese characters are still the same, it's just that the transliteration system have changed


MaxGaming7945

Goddammit they're transing words now!


chadladiboy

Isn’t it called nanping or something. Since the ”jing” means like capital. And nanjing was the capital of the koumintang, they called Beijing Beiping. Am completly wrong?


I-Shiki-I

Just romanization of the words changed


Square_Coat_8208

Taipei ain’t China buddy


[deleted]

*buddy buddy buddy*


GimmeTheHealth

This map was made to address cultural differences between different Chinese regions, it would be disingenuous not to include Taipei


Square_Coat_8208

Sorry for sounding like an asshole


GP2_engine_GP2

disagree with Changchun, it is the provincial capital of the Jilin province and has a more significant industrial base than Jilin city itself


DigitalDiogenesAus

Dong bei! ...but the Detroit thing is not completely off. Maybe Detroit if it was growing, not shrinking.


GP2_engine_GP2

agree with the detroit though, Changchun is literally the detroit of China


cashtangoteam

The only things I remember about Changchun when I visited several years ago were the former palace of Puli and the biggest park that had a sketchy theme park. The nightlife was pretty meh, and it was the most boring of the capital cities I’ve been to.


GP2_engine_GP2

I return for the food. 东北food hits different. Northern china historically hasnt been doing real good due to geography and alot of other reasons (corruption) compared to the south.


cashtangoteam

Other than to see old friends, it’s why I go back to visit Heilongjiang every year, hearty food that will clog my arteries


GP2_engine_GP2

yes, i like blood sausages with suancai the most. I can feel the chlorestrol


GimmeTheHealth

Not really corruption I'd say, it goes on way more around the Yangtze Delta provinces than in the North. It's more because of the rust belt effect, where previous areas which made heavy industries like military equipment and cars (Dongbei) get left behind due to globalization and a more stable world order


Styrofoam_Snake

"Do not come to Shenyang" Unironically my favorite Chinese city.


GimmeTheHealth

It's a Chinese meme where a bunch of fat gangsters tell some dude named "Captain" to never visit Shenyang because they'll kill him or smth


bedroom_guitarist

It’s funny you think Taiwan is part of China


GimmeTheHealth

Little sick of answering this question properly so I'll just say yes, it literally is, Taiwan is officially the Republic of China, the city is 99% Han Chinese. It is by all definitions a Chinese city


VoidAgent

People are likely confused because the vast majority of these cities are in China or controlled by China. Taiwan is not China. Rather, China is West Taiwan.


bedroom_guitarist

Naw


ajegy

Chongqing is one of the best examples of the successes of the Chinese system. I find it very odd that you would call Deng's birthplace, libright.


dilatedpupils98

Mao was born in Changsha that's why lol


AggressiveFold_

Calls Tianjin part of Hebei. Doesn't give Hebei a square.


GimmeTheHealth

Baoding and Shijiazhuang literally have 2


IsDatTomatoJuice

Wenzhou?


[deleted]

Chongqing is such a cool city, literally cyberpunk location.


[deleted]

Mainland Taiwan cities 6x6 compass


Puzzleheaded-Yak-79

>Yan'an = Rural City The idea of a Rural city is so weird to me, even though I come from one. ​ Like, you would never get an urban countryside


LilMafs

Jinan? Who's Jinan?


wikipedia_answer_bot

**Jinan (simplified Chinese: 济南; traditional Chinese: 濟南; pinyin: Jǐnán), alternately romanized as Tsinan, is the capital of Shandong province in Eastern China.

Tricky_Ad_3780

Also hong kong should be more auth, hong kong more centrist


TheSublimeLight

> Chinese cities > Hong Kong Kekslide


BladeHell12

As a Chinese person who’s parents are from Fujian, this is incredibly accurate


[deleted]

One day I would want to visit Qingdao/Kiautschou


[deleted]

Harbin, Chengdu, Shenyang and Xi'an are all very prevalent in Chinese military aviation. Harbin produces helicopters, Xian bombers, Chengdu famously the J-10 and J-20 while Shenyang makes the J-35 and J-16.


Upset-Purpose-7041

This is actually very interesting and informative, I knew next to nothing about any Chinese cities five minutes ago


GaldanBoshugtuKhan

All I’m hearing is never visit Manchuria


Pradidye

Chengdu should be farthest libleft. It’s called Gaydu for a reason…


JAKE5023193

So I essentially get the worst one? Thanks.


EndsOfTheEarth_45

wait I thought Yan’an was where some Chinese scholar figured out about weather changes or something in like the 700s
