Krem [he/him, they/them]

when we were in CQ a few years ago we found a used bookshop that sold old books by the pound, but they were happy to sell us the one book that we picked out, a tourism coffee table book from the 90s about CQ itself. there are so many great pictures in that book, scenes of a city growing up and developing. barely any skyscrapers but already a lot of those giant highrise 90s apartment buildings.

china in the 90s was a different world. Chongqing still looks somewhat similar, i’m sure Chengdu and Changsha etc are completely unrecognizable

this looks like northern china. the logo on the engine and the classic greenskin cars tell me yes, but the architecture of the little one-story houses tell me maybe. i haven’t been to the northwest though

edit: the classic arch shape of the retaining walls on the hill above the tunnel tip me towards 100% china
