I didn’t make the meme, I thought Chongqing was a weird choice when there are older or lower tier cities which still make Houston look like absolute shit and are far lesser known. But I’m a simple poster, I see train, I post train
That’s not right. It gained municipality status 25 years ago but the city itself is ancient. It was famously the temporary Republican capital during the war against Japan.
Houston and Chongqing (but one of those photos looks ai generated lol)
Chongqing is only like 25 years old. Before that it was an industry zone in the Sichuan province. Lol
It is actually a crown jewel of china’s growth and focus on livability in their cities.

Shenzhen’s the real young city.
Apparently Chongqing was first settled sometime around 316 BC so… yea just casually older than most European countries.
Tbf, many European countries have cities older than the country
Like Marseilles in France or name an Italian city (I like Taranto for an example)
