Train Goes THROUGH Residential Building in China's Mountain City Chongqing
A light railway track has been built to go through a hole in a residential 19-storey building in China.
The city of Chongqing in the south-east of the country has a population of 49 million packed into 31,000 square miles, causing urban planners to look creatively at solving space issues.
A special railway station was built into the block of houses, set into the sixth to eighth floors.
Residents can hop on Chongqing Rail Transit No.2 at their own Liziba station.
Even though they are living in close quarters to a busy train station, any noise has been muffled by special equipment.
To homeowners in the complex, the sound of the train is designed to be as disturbing as the noise from a dishwasher.
By doing this, planners avoided having to take the whole building down to make way for the train tracks.
A city transport spokesman said: 'Our city is very heavily built upon and that can make finding room for roads and railway lines a real challenge.'
The port city of Chongqing is one of the four municipalities in China and lies along the banks of the river Yangtze.
Even though it is a densely populated area, it is nicknamed the Mountain City because it lies around deep swathes of forest and hills.

Dare to drive on the 720-degree overpass in southwest China's Chongqing?
The 720-degree overpass in Chongqing, southwest China, looks like two huge circles. A citizen said in the video that the overpass looked like a dragon lying down, and only a dragon could keep the place safe. Probably, only experienced drivers have the courage to drive on the overpass.
Flying Tigers Post Office in Chongqing, China
Southwest China's Chongqing municipality has set up a post office named after the Flying Tigers, a U.S. air squadron that helped the Chinese fight Japanese aggressors during World War II.
Authorities say the move is to mark the 70th anniversary of the victory of the anti-Japanese war.
The Flying Tigers, a group of ex-pilots from the U.S. military, were formed in 1941.
Led by Claire Chennault, it flew over China to combat Japanese invaders during World War II, as China's air force was destroyed not long after the war began.
On Wednesday, a flying tiger post office was opened to the public in Chongqing, a metropolis in southwest China.
Postcards sent by this post office will be stuck with General Chennault commemorative stamps and imprinted with a special postmark.
And the first postcard issued was sent to General Chennault's wife Anna Chan Chennault in the U.S. at the opening ceremony.
SOUNDBITE (CHINESE): DAI QINGBIAO, Curator, Chongqing Flying Tiger Museum
Today marks the 78th anniversary of the start of China's eight-year resistance against the Japanese invasion. We set up this post office to remind the ordinary people of that part of history. Only by remembering national humiliation, can we cherish today's peace.
Chongqing was China's wartime capital during WWII, and a command center for the Flying Tigers.
Between December 1941 and September 1945, the U.S. volunteer group shot down thousands of Japanese military planes and killed 66,700 Japanese soldiers.
China: The largest migration in history | The Economist
An animated infographic about China's migrant workers. Migration from inland villages to coastal cities has transformed China. Now that is changing, as regional cities inland become the new focus of migration patterns.
Subscribe NOW to The Economist:
Since 1978 China has experienced the largest internal migration in human history. Nearly 160 million people - that's almost 12% of today's population - have left rural areas to seek work in the cities.
The motivation to move was obvious. In 1978 everyone was poor, and rural incomes were less than 40% of urban ones. Suddenly Communist China threw open its doors and factories appeared in coastal towns, where farmers could make more money in a month than in a year growing rice.
Migrants moved from the poorest inland provinces such as Guizhou, Sichuan and Anhui. In 1980 farmers here lived on less than $2 a day. According to Kam Wing Chan at the University of Washington, more than 10 million workers migrated out of their home province between 1990 and 1995. Another 32 million migrated from 1995 to 2000 and yet another 38 million over the next five years.
By 2011 nearly 160 million rural Chinese were working far from home. Between 2001 and 2010 migration contributed nearly 20 percent of China's economic growth but it has all come at a personal cost - many migrants spend years away from their family.
Industrialization has also caused a terrible pollution problem but many feel the huge personal and national economic impact have made it worthwhile.
In the 1990s the wealth gap between rural and urban China opened wide- though the gap has closed a little, this is still a huge social issue with tens of thousands of cases of rural unrest each year.
The city of Shenzhen, just over the border from Hong Kong, is a classic example of the speed at which Chinese cities have grown. Shenzhen has sprawled from a town of a few thousand in 1978 to a city of 12 million people in 2010 and it's set to keep on growing. The EIU forecasts that the population will hit 15 million by 2020. In just over 30 years the GDP of coastal provinces such as Guangdong, where Shenzhen is located, has shot up. Two other coastal provinces Zhejiang and Jiangsu in 2010 had the same GDP as Austria and Switzerland respectively. Now though, as the cost of labor and land near the coast has risen, Manufacturing is moving inland and fewer migrants are travelling to the coastal cities. As more jobs are created in inland cities and provinces more wealth is trickling down to rural areas too.

Shenzhen Shekou Info:
Shekou (Chinese: 蛇口) is an area at the southern tip of Nanshan, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. It faces Yuen Long, Hong Kong across the Shenzhen Bay. It has been designated a Free Trade Zone by the government, alongside Qianhai, Hengqin and Nansha.
The area was formerly a customs station of Bao'an County. On 31 January 1979, it became officially known as the Shekou Industrial Zone, developed solely by China Merchants of Hong Kong under Yuan Geng's leadership, earlier than the formation of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. The event is chronicalled in the Chinese ballad The Story of Spring (春天的故事).
Since the 1980s, after foreign oil majors such as Agip, Chevron, Texaco, Statoil and Shell obtained concessions for oil exploration in the South China Sea, Shekou started serving as a base for a small contingent of foreign oil platform workers, since qualified personnel were not available locally. As a result of this first mover advantage in catering for mainly western tastes in housing, food and drink, entertainment and schooling, at a time when no alternatives were available in the area, Shekou gradually became home to the majority of the expatriate population working in and around Shenzhen and part of its hinterland in the Pearl River Delta. This trend has however abated after 2003, after the country's continued economic reforms. Development of other parts of the city and substantial increase in English levels of university graduates have made life in the city proper more acceptable to many foreigners without school-age children.
In 2003, the local government, seeking to capitalize on the foreign flavor of the area, invested in a complete make-over of Sea World, turning it into a western-style entertainment area centered on the grounded Minghua (明华) ship, a 14,000 ton, 168 m long vessel built in 1962 as a French ferry vessel purchased by China in 1973. It is commonly, though incorrectly, referred to by many locals as French President Charles De Gaulle's private yacht. Minghua is now completely landlocked due to extensive local land reclamation and redevelopment efforts.
Shekou is undergoing a major redevelopment project, costing an excess of 60 billion RMB. This included the construction of dozens of office and residential towers (such as the China Merchants Tower), a new cruise center replacing the old ferry terminal, a number of shopping malls around Sea World and the refurbishment of numerous older buildings.
The area attracts many tourists and has a sizable community of resident foreigners, and many non-Chinese restaurants exist in the area. According to the Shenzhen Management and Service Center for Expats, 6,275 of the 43,919 registered expats living in Shenzhen are registered with the Shekou Police Station and Shenzhenwan Police Station alone

Walking through Chinese farm country. - Small China city. - Living in Sichuan, China - Luzhou, China
???? The mountain outside of our window in rural China called to us for a long time, and one Sunday afternoon we decided to leave the city behind and take a nice hike out into the Chinese countryside.
I've got a lot of feelings about farm life ... the most prevalent being: Eww, duck poop. But it was very cool to see a part of China that most expats don't have access too.

3 Day Yangtze River Cruise In 6 Minutes-Chongqing to Yichang
Come along on a three day Yangtze River cruise from Chongqing to Yichang, China. The Yangtze River, or Chang Jiang, is the longest river in Asia, and the third longest in the world after the Nile in Africa and the Amazon in South America. It flows for 3,988 miles (6,418 kilometers) from the glaciers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Qinghai eastward before emptying into the East China Sea at Shanghai.
In recent years, the river has suffered from industrial pollution, agricultural run-off, siltation, and loss of wetland and lakes, which exacerbates seasonal flooding. Some sections of the river are now protected as nature reserves.

CCP Changes Chongqing Leaders
Follow us on TWITTER:
Like us on FACEBOOK:
As the mayor of Chongqing for six leading generations,
Huang Qifan cried twice when he spoke in Chongqing 's new leadership conference.
Netizens named him Roly-poly Artist
due to his crying. Now, let's see his roly-poly legend.
On November 20th, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
organized a Chongqing leadership conference,
in which the new secretary, Sun Zhengcai, has taken over
from the old secretary , Zhang Dejiang.
The Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao reported that the speech of
outgoing Zhang Dejiang received several rounds of applause.
Huang Qifan, part of former secretary Bo Xi Lai's think tank
Twice burst into tears talking about specific works by Zhang Dejian in Chongqing.
The Voice of America reported that Huang Qifan has served
six CCP secretaries and still can keep his position,
he must have an outstanding capability on satisfying
the leaders always doing what the leaders want.
This is maybe the key reason that he is such a
political roly poly.
The article commented that Chongqing changed completely
after Wang Lijun left in February and after Bo Xilai was removed in March,
nevertheless Huang Qifan still keeps his position
and it can be considered that he has a good career.
〝5.12汶川志愿者〞王笑东质疑，不知薄熙来被双规时黄奇帆有没有落泪？
Wang Xiaodong is volunteer of 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake.
He doubted that Huang Qifan had cried
when Bo Xilai was detained and interrogated.
Wang Xiaodong: Huang Qifan is a roly-poly in officialdom.
From our observation, he knows very well how to do what
the leader wants, he has a clear vision of the environment.
Huang knows how to balance the interests of the leaders.
This is his character.
These kinds of people will be roly-poly in officialdom
no matter who takes the lead because they know how to be a CCP official.
Huang Qifan is 61-years-old.
He was born in Zhuji, Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
He was appointed to be Chongqing Vice Mayor in 2001.
Then he worked for He Guoqiang, Huang Zhendong, Wang Yang, Bo Xilai and Zhang Dejiang.
All five of them former CCP Chongqing secretaries,
now he works for the new secretary Sun Zhengcai.
He can be called Minister for six Emperors.
In early February, the former chief of Chongqing Public
Security Bureau Wang Lijun fled the U.S. Consulate, seeking political asylum.
It's said that Bo Xilai ordered Huang Qifan to send 70
armored vehicles to Chengdu.
They surrounded the US Consulate
and tried to arrest Wang Lijun.
When Bo Xilai was dismissed on March 5th, Huang Qifan was
the first official who stood out to show his loyalty to CCP Central Committee.
Huang unveiled that Bo Xilai had promised him the post of
Prime Minister. Huang said his views were contrary to Bo's on many issues.
But Bo Xilai had consisted in his opinions and
pressed him to go to Chengdu to arrest Wang Lijun.
Then Huang Qifan hadn't been affected when the CCP
dealt with the Wang -- Bo case.
He not only saved is position, but also was appointed
to assist temporary secretary Zhang Dejiang.
Then to assist the secretary Sun Zhengcai and appointed
to be a member of the CCP's 18th Central Committee.
Political commentator Wang Beiji pointed out that
Huang Qifan was promoted from Vice Mayor to Mayor
when Bo Xilai led Chongqing.
Huang participated in the crimes committed by Bo
when Bo was in charge of Chongqing.
Wang Beiji: When Bo Xilai led Chongqing, he had Xu Ming
in charge of cultural affairs, Wang Lijun in security, and Huang Qifan running the economy.
Bo used Huang for cheating and suppressing the local
private entrepreneurs, and confiscating properties.
In the whole process, Huang must have given Bo a
great deal of advice and guidance.
But Huang hasn't been dismissed after Bo's removal,
and he has even had the chance to cry.
The key reason for Huang's tears is that he became more evil
at the opportune time.
He has chosen to support the CCP and has betrayed Bo Xilai.
Wang Beiji also said that Sun Zhengcai is the new leader,
who made Huang Qifan very emotional.
Because Bo Xilai was just arrested and in jail,
Huang continues to be an official, so clearly his feelings on the matter must be complex.
Wang Beiji: He had gotten rid of Bo Xilai's case.
But what has he reported to CCP Central Committee, What kind of deals has he made?
What he has confessed to and how he has extricated
himself is unknown to the people of Chongqing, unknown to the Chinese public.
Answers to these questions will explain his tears.
He saw Bo Xilai's calm, and that he is now a prisoner.
Huang must be deeply disturbed or frightened by Bo's fate
and wanting to show repentance, thus hoping to separate himself from the affair.
