Chongqing. Smog, skyscrapers and Yangtze
Chongqing - China's largest city. According to various sources it is home to 40 million people. Largest city is comparable with Austria, it stretches for 450 kilometers in length and 470 in width. Of course, not all 82, 000 sq. km Chongqing built up, but it remedied. The construction here is some fantastic rates. I saw the pictures of 2010 and did not recognize Chongqing! In recent years there have built a bunch of new bridges, skyscrapers and flyovers. Year of Chongqing as 20 years for Moscow.
