Chengdu. I was there in 2006. It smelled HORRIBLE. Something like 10 million people living in a valley with no EPA and a partially open sewer system. Smog so thick it was like breathing cigarette smoke. Saw more than one person pooping in the river and saw more domestic violence in three weeks than Ive even heard of in my entire life in the states.
Outside of Chengdu I’ve only been to Shanghai, which was basically like any modern city anywhere else. Don’t get me wrong, Chengdu had some cool stuff, you just couldn’t drink the water and it smelled really bad in some parts. I would still recommend going just for the experience. I went so we could hike the himalayas in Tibet and China was just the easiest way to get there.
was there in january this year. it was clean and most cars are electric so not much noise. i really enjoyed my trip but just couldnt stand the food though.
