Sleeping areas of Beijing

Do you like to walk on residential areas on the outskirts of cities? Probably not. I like this! Not for myself, of course, all for an interesting story. A look and compare there is something: typical house popular today all over the world: in the "ant" live in the Americas and Africa, Europe and Asia. As for Australia, I can not say, but surely.

Chinese big cities certainly live in apartment buildings. There is hutongs, but it is rarely a good accommodation. Walk, look at how there are millions?

Will be 30 photos via macos





If exactly 1 - twenty million. Beijing does not live many more people than in Moscow, despite the fact that the city seven times as much of Moscow. Metropolitan of the city - the Length of the world, and will soon be able to boast of yet another record, the number of stations, snatching the championship from New York. But no special crowds in the city to be seen, if we do not take peak hours and long holidays. And at least 15 of these 20 million live in these houses here. Similar to ours, right? Only at first glance!



2 Typical street of a typical residential area. Not the outskirts, even as far away from the center. Place for building can always be found, snesya couple of old hutongs. Almost all property belongs to the residents, as is long-term lease for seventy years. During this period the property is inviolable, and then the state can take it, to pay compensation (usually tiny) or moved to another location on the outskirts. Therefore endure junk easy!



3 Typical pavement typical street of the typical district of Beijing. Trim bushes, tile, including tactile Braille, trees without fences, but the fence separating the sidewalk from the road. Call in Moscow at least one such street in a residential quarter! Yes, actually anywhere in Russia. Show I want to see!



4 mobile columns that do not occupy parking. It is still the second row of parked insolently, but the infrastructure is built, wean to do so - the next step. What can you think of? The death penalty for multiple malicious traffic violations - a cruel but effective measure. What do you think?



5 No colors tree obnoxious white paint. For their power and to strengthen long-invented a special "tree drip."



6 On the rooftops you can often find characters. This is not the slogan "Lenin lived, and Mao Zhiwei," and the names of quarters. Build a whole neighborhood as a whole, and not stuck in the middle of the playground home.



7 And they are usually called poetic and beautiful: "North zvedy," "Dawn" and the like. The Chinese have a kind of romance. They even name the car BMW translates as "My faithful horse." No kidding!



8 The contrasts of old and new, I will show in reports about Shanghai, but this picture could not accommodate. See dovecote!



9 Each district is separated from the outside world by a fence and guard booth. The barrier prevents foreign cars in the yard, old rusty buckets and abandoned Gazelles.



10 In general, you must show a pass, but I do it never asked, even though the two big camera. Apparently, if the Europeans are talking with a confident view - then so be it. The poster Comrade Lenin, which shows the mandate of the guard. Even if Lenin shows - and you have, Comrade!



11 countries mailboxes. All houses and apartments condominium they are clearly not enough. Who knows what they are?



12 And what in the courts? There are no cars! Grass, track, beauty!



13 Because all the cars or in the underground parking ...



14 Either at a special parking lot between houses.



15 It is not always and not everywhere, but in none of the dozens of neighborhoods I have not seen such a hell of parking both in Russia! Nobody parks each other on the head and does not seek to grab a seat close to the door.



16 parking bicycles in almost every yard. There are more and underground!



17 Therefore, in the courtyards of the Chinese are usually good. And around the houses are usually bad. Some markets, dirty shops, even in the new areas!



18 local shopping centers. No different from ours, the same bug-infested! Only escalators are. So, in Europe or Asia like Mother Russia?



19 Such an icon with the hammer and sickle means that the institution has a member of the Party. In China, there are not taking all but a very few. Party members - respected members of society. In most restaurants they are fed for free or huge discounts. Mere mortals, of course, it is recommended to visit in the first place, party places, but all do not care :)



20 More constantly meet slogans. But communism is strange. Coca-Cola and prostitutes.



21 Now cons. Such beauty as in the previous pictures - only in new neighborhoods. Old - is another matter. Note the lattice: they are not only on the first floor (theft), but also on high. No, not a ninja can climb, and the typhoon happens. And then you can fly out of the window pane or stop a stranger.



22 most ugly in these homes - air conditioning. They are all molded, how horrible!



23 Again, in modern high-rise buildings, this problem is solved. Why can not we do that in Russia?



24 In general, the benefits of western China, and minuses - our, native. Illegal trade blossoms in full bloom. Nobody cares.



25 The sidewalks are sometimes absent or busy these same traders. People also do not care, and they go straight on the road.



26 But all over the city - a tactile tiles for the blind. She stacked properly! Bypassing manholes. Which, in turn, also does not create additional barriers to pedestrians.



27th Street Library. New, recently placed throughout the city. Beijingers do not yet know how to use it, but a keen interest.



28 Such sleeping areas often coexist with large office centers. They are also built on the site of the former slums. All for people to not go to the center of the city to work, but could find it close to home, or live next to the service.



29 We continue to live like this. Even worse. And all are satisfied. None of the regions of Russia there is no such mass conversions. Strong business executives is in power. Democracy is not something that socialist China!



30 To whom are satisfied - to put the mop to the balcony. It's a fan-Shuya trick to money were carried out and the future brightened. Every Chinese is doing so! Only, in addition, he is also working to make this future has come.

This is the last photo post.
