Real travel photos of China

I am getting very tired of curated, AI generated, photoshopped pictures of China online, especially on this sub. Most of them seem to be posted by travel agents, who are trying to get you to go somewhere.

From my own experience, zoom out of any of those photos and there would be millions of influencer-wanna-be doing the exact same pose, kids screaming, parents yelling, and some loudspeaker blaring some warning or trying to sell something. There is usually a bunch of trash on the ground too.

I found a bunch of photos from RedNote to illustrate what real travel experience would look like so people won't set their expectations too high. I have my own photos and if you travelled in China you probably have similar ones yourself. And no, they weren't all taken on some special holidays; even during the weekdays it can be like this. Enjoy!

Update: to all the people here who are saying "just avoid peak times (the holidays, the student breaks, the noon-peak, the evening-peak, the weekends....)". Guess what. If everyone is avoiding the "peak times", then "off-peak" times become "on-peak" times. Plus these touristy spots are BIG MONEY businesses, they want on-peak at all times, so they'll literally find ways to get people here when it gets quiet.

Corrupt CCP police come to the door of one of our brothers, armed with guns to warn... "Don't speak recklessly on the internet! You will have consequences" As someone seen firsthand it used to be terrifying till you learn the art of bribing secretly... So that's how it is.

Guangzhou. Multiple urban management and property staff, holding shields and steel forks, beat disabled people performing outdoors, while police stood by indifferently!

一群交警包圍抓電瓶車。車主直接猛衝撞向交警,這還能活嗎?

这就是中国打贸易战的底气

工厂污染的视频看都看不完,过于稀松平常,要不是献忠级别都懒得发了。

压榨人,压栈环境,压榨自然资源,中共为了避免脱钩,压榨一切可以压榨的东西
