Source here╭( ・ㅂ・)و ̑̑ : Aerial pictures of Wuhan China show what suburban life is like | Daily Mail Online

***

Shot from above, it would be hard to guess where these mesmerising pictures were taken.

They do, in fact, show the sprawling suburbia of Wuhan, a city in the planet's most populous country, China.

Wuhan has the most residents in any of central China's cities, with more than 10million people calling the inland port home.

Twinned with Manchester, the blue, red and purple roofs of Wuhan's houses are a far cry from the terraces of the northern England industrial city.

The colours of the roofs are reflected in Chinese culture - red, for example, symbolising good luck and happiness.

Sweeping roads and lush greenery can be seen separating the houses, which were likely built as part of the city's residential construction boom.

Wuhan, in the Hubei province of central China, is home to 10million people - many of whom live in these colourful houses away from the high-rise city centre and factories

Wide, sweeping streets separate the neighbourhoods, and little ponds can be seen near some of the houses. The red roofs symbolise luck and happiness

There has been a boom in residential construction in Wuhan in recent years; many of these houses were likely built during this time

Wuhan is twinned with Manchester in the UK, but the houses are a far cry from the terraces of the northern centre of industry

I call those Lego Villages. :sick:

Maybe I misunderstood...
Umm...The name of this community is 盘龙城f天下.
As a wuhaner,I can tell you that many suburban houses are with few people.
Those houses are bought but few people came to live.
The suburb area is far from central city area,it means people are inconvenient to go for work if they live in suburb.
So,they still live in apartment located in central urban area.

19.7% Chinese urban family own more than two houses/apartments.


Other example:
Hainan island,where many middle class/rich Chinese go and buy houses.
When it isn't during festival,the communities become "Ghost village"

(And,Chinese needn't to pay property tax.)

Really cool :p:
Guess what it is(↓)

I don't understand these mass-produced residential schemes regardless of wherever they are. It's too monotonous for my liking.

Even uglier, you will not find me happy at all in any Lego Village. I require at the very least 25 acres plus complete freedom on the color, shape, and size of the house.

Well,I search in wiki,but there is only an English article available.(Ashoka Chakra)
And what Baidu shows is Asoka..(Ashoka Maurya,who promotes Buddhism,is well known in China,at least among Chinese Buddhists)

:(
Too many words I can't understand...

:cry:

It was not until yesterday did I memorize and understand the word "glorious"
