not enough urban villages, they should be crammed between every other kinda-central highrise development. (if you're in eastern china they're the best place for sichuan food)

also a city bigh enough to have a massive ring road would also have like three new train stations on opposite sides of the city. and many cities don't have an old train station, they went from no train straight to HSR like ten years ago.

HOWEVER if the city does have an old train station, the area on the map labeled "hotels" are going to be the sketchiest type of hostels you've ever seen, catering to people just coming in from the countryside. see the hostel scene in Lost on Journey for reference

i would simply conquer all of south europe and abolish catholiscism, then put on the pope hat, become the protestant pope, abolish protestantism, then idk go to japan and become a badass samurai.

how did people in ancient times fuck up so bad when the correct path is really so obvious

uncritical support to taking so many drugs in a cave that you get so enlightened that you don't even need to play 4d chess because you realise that heh, you've already won, and then (spoilers whatever) being so prescient that you have perfect vision even after your eyeballs have been hardboiled by tactical nukes

volunteering at the local soup kitchen (btw, do they even have those in China?

I've volunteered at an equivalent of a soup kitchen before (free vegetarian kitchen with volunteer staff) a couple of times. the food was pretty good, a couple of vegetable dishes, tofu, soup and rice. it was frequented mostly by old folks rather than homeless, since I guess the town it was in didn't really have many homeless people. I know bigger cities do have bigger homeless populations though, but nothing like in the west or japan/taiwan/korea.

these kind of veg kitchens exist in most mid-large cities and are staffed by volunteers, most of which are also retired folks, except for the chefs maybe. the groceries are mostly donated, like someone will donate several huge sacks of rice or jugs of cooking oil, or help buy fresh veg etc.

it's pretty good for a zoo. it's still a zoo though. and if you go in the summer most of them are inside enjoying the aircon because they're used to cool mountain temps and chengdu gets to like 37 degrees in the summer.

i did see the little mouse-shaped little little baby pandas though

similar to shaanbei yaodong are the cave houses in the sierra nevada in andalucia. especially the sacromonte caves in granada, traditionally inhabited by roma who were not allowed to live inside city limits
