China’s Most Beautiful Counties and Towns 中國最美的縣城與小鎮
13個中國最美的縣城與小鎮,簡直像是世外桃源般的存在,
從整個縣城居然建在幾百米高的懸崖峭壁上的重慶巫山縣,
到矗立在幾百米高懸崖上的雲南綠春縣,
再到外形就是一個巨大的八卦圓盤的新疆特克斯縣。、
這些縣城,到底有多誇張呢?
Here are 13 of China’s most beautiful counties and towns—places that feel like true paradises on earth.
They range from Wushan County in Chongqing—built entirely upon sheer cliffs hundreds of meters high—to Lüchun County in Yunnan, perched atop similar towering precipices, and finally to Tekes County in Xinjiang, laid out in the shape of a massive Bagua (Eight Trigrams) disc.
Here are 15 of China’s most impressive "mega-projects"—each one a spectacular feat that embodies the hard work and ingenuity of the people. From the Pinglu Canal—the first massive canal to be dug since the Sui Dynasty’s Grand Canal a thousand years ago—to the Bailong Elevator, which clings to a sheer cliff face over 300 meters high and offers a ride so thrilling it might just make your heart leap out of your chest, and even the New Century Global Center—the world’s largest standalone building, which houses an entire "ocean world" inside—just how mind-blowing and extraordinary are these mega-projects?
