Walking the Waterfront (The Bund) in Shanghai China. I hope this video can bring joy to someone regardless of my cheap gimbal. The Bund is a waterfront that ...
Always blows my mind that there's literally several dozen of these giant, futuristic cities in China that most people in the US or the EU have never even heard the name of. You could tell somebody in my country about Chongquing and they'd probably go "are there any major cities nearby?" because all they know are Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong and the rest of the country must be some rural backwater that you could paint on a porcelaine vase.
I was blown away by ChongQing when i first heard of it, and then I started looking up videos, then you watch videos of Shenzen, & Shanghai, and all illusions of western superiority just vanish from your mind.

We have nothing like it in the west. Could you even do this without centralized city planning?
Looked it up, not projectors, buildings deck out in LED lights.

Would also add that I haven't seen projectors look that good, color reproduction usually takes a hit.
