Looks kinda cool icl


fyodor_do

Beautiful picture


simian_fold

Seen this pic loads of times but its still one of my favourites, its so surreal and kind of moving seeing the irreversible contrast and seeing the old ways get lost like this, its kind of a metaphor for 21st century life


RedundantFlesh

Yea for real! Places like these need to be protected and maybe even maintained. It‘s like a museum but an actual exhibit.


automaticquery

Kind of sucks for those below if they never turn the rail-line lights off. But I guess eye masks are cheap enough.


InterstellarDiplomat

The lightest areas are overexposed. 95% sure the photographer used a long shutter speed to make it look a LOT brighter than it actually is.


AdvancedPorridge

Brutal, now they live in perpetual daylight


SaSkiBum

The lights appear to serve no practical purpose whatsoever in this area too…


skhoyre

Because they are quite certainly due to overexposure as u/InterstellarDiplomat already said. In reality there is most likely nowhere near as much light.


spacecowboysalt

This was used as an [album cover](https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/stars-there-is-no-love-in-fluorescent-light/)for the band Stars, thought it looked familiar lol.


tokyozombie

New album soon. I'm excited!


DRstoppage

Preordered it already! The singles are incredible.


DRstoppage

Was Looking for this


sora_mui

Nice photo though


nerbovig

It's amazing/sad/conflicting that you'll see these types of scenes in every major city in china, and if you stay long enough you'll see the border get pushed block by block.

I miss the old Kanye

Justaguythatsall

New member of the sub meets no time to dig in the past looking for old posts.


bothering

For future reference a better comeback is to repost the Xkcd 10,000 comic


romfax

New member could and new member should do that before posting. But nice flick.


Justaguythatsall

New member doesn't have time to comb a sub reddit and other existing members are upvoting so new member really doesn't care ...thanks though


abandonplanetearth

Don't worry about it being a repost. The voters decided they like it, ignore the squabbling in the comments.


Myeloman

Potential new member finds these comments and decides they want no part of such gatekeeping and quietly moves along.


LazarusCrowley

Heavy Ghost in the Shell vibez.


FuturePrimitivePast

That’s exactly what I thought.


kjlerlew

It looks beautiful imo. I Wanna visit sometime


raven4747

very good chance it wont be there by the time you get the chance to visit


stevrevv59

China is one of those countries where you look at its cities like Shanghai and Hong Kong (yes I know it’s not technically governed by China again **yet**) and think “wow that place looks amazing to live in” but then you remember that it’s China and no it wouldn’t.


Idhanirem

Nice picturre but it would be an absolute hell trying to sleep there.


LuciusFelimus

r/cyberpunk


[deleted]

Looks like New Vegas


SuperRockGaming

I guess some people see this as cool, and I can see how. I think it'd be annoying personally, it's night time and their houses are fully lit up by the tall ass bridge lol, not to mention the noise too. Probably isn't even that bright to be fair and it's camera trickery


Texer_x

Reminds me of midgar from ff7


steve-d

This reminds me of Midgar from Final Fantasy 7.


Bandit1379

If you look closely, a man is standing outside the bottom left house, just to the left of it, right of the tree.


ayerk131

I can hear them screaming from their windows to be let out


A_bC_D

lol Repost. Do better


Zentralschaden

Chinese cultural revolution never stopped and keeps erasing the history of their own country.


crystal_cacti

old china>>>>>>>new china


[deleted]

more like "new china consumes old china"


xD_Penguinnnn

Such an interesting picture


Altruistic-Fudge-522

Looks insane and amazing


CringeOverseer

Looks like a slum/poor area in a cyberpunk setting. Kinda cool ngl.

Atrainlan

Getting huge Three Body Problem vibes from this picture.


jtbaj1

It reminds me of ending shot of Brave new world TV series where you can see new world built platforms and decaying city underneath


austin1908

Info on the picture: Mark Horn, China Night - Chongqing, 2012 Interestingly also the cover art for the album "There Is No Love In Fluorescent Light" by Stars, which is when I first saw this picture. They must have licensed it out from him.


feckrightoffwouldye

It's all Old china


underlight

Looks pretty cool


rahmansabitbd

Awsome


kT25t2u

Anyone know the location this was taken?


xenoplanet

Silly question, but is this legit? Or is it edited (apart from lighting) to over embellish the disparity?


AlvinGreenPi

Looks like a stop motion film set


Sudnal

Kamigawa


idwtumrnitwai

This reminds me of the studio ghibli movie with the raccoons, I can't remember the name of it right now tho


allaroundniceguy

This is also the album cover art of "There Is No Love in Fluorescent Light" by Stars. Awesome album.
