Who Killed The Chinese “Slums?” | The last Urban Villages

From Crossing China.

Third dive into Southern China’s unique Urban Villages. This time we explore 2 urban villages, one that has survived and thrived, and another that is on its last legs. We meet some locals, migrant workers, an artist, and a few animals… then we end the day at a modern development to see if we can buy a fancy new car? Because who needs baozi anyway?
