Yes, I’d stay there. But not in that space saucer looking thingy on the right. Looks like too much trust put in a tooky little support beam to me...

I've visited Guangzhou,a major Chinese city a hour or so north of Hong Kong,twice in my life.Once in 1980 and the second time in 2010.In '80 the streets were full of bicycles,thousands of them,and an occasional truck or bus.The building were low,drab and appeared to be falling down.In 2010 there were traffic jams (Toyotas,Lexus,Kias..and Buicks,surprisingly) and there were a number of huge,modern glass skyscrapers.
All that thanks to the fact that Americans,Europeans and Japanese wanted to pay $20 less for their DVD players.

Such a dream could never be realized in modern America, the former nation of dreams.

I’ve been advocating this kind of stuff with my friends in the mining business for over a decade: Shape the land to be interesting and beautiful. Hire a watercolor artist to arrange the piles of tailings by color. It wouldn’t cost that much and it makes the mine an asset when it’s done.

All that thanks to the fact that Americans,Europeans and Japanese wanted to pay $20 less for their DVD players. OTOH, maybe we could learn from them. If we tried free-market capitalism for twenty years, imagine what this country could do.

They could have made one heck of soccer stadium out that.

Built in under 3 and a half years with no winter construction.

Buick drove around the world in 1925 and was the first car most Chinese had ever seen, in 1929 Buick opened it's first Chinese sales office in Shanghai...

Do they have to shut that bridge down in high winds?
To: Rebelbase
Very high winds will shut it down but mostly they use a variable speed limit according to wind speeds. The last time I crossed it wind speeds were about 25mph at ground level and the speed limit for trucks was 35mph. 300 feet above the surface winds are considerably stronger.

My thought exactly! The sail boats look ridiculous in the small area they have to sail in, if that is possible and the whole design wreaks Disney-esk!
Good design does not look like a theme park, as this does!

A world with too much time on its hands.
Time for a massive reset.

“All that thanks to the fact that Americans,Europeans and Japanese wanted to pay $20 less for their DVD players. “
Let me rephrase that: “All that thanks to the fact that Americans didn’t have the stomach to take on the unions, the tort system, excessive environmental regulations, and excessive workplace regulations, so they chose to shift production to China instead.”

I bet there are times when the wind gets screaming in that location.
