I did some of that, many moons ago, but in a different place. Fun, but one to remind you that you can only get so close
Check out the gorge bit at 42 mins if you want to raise the pulse rate a little !

I know China's been experiencing massive growth but, wow, they do it in a style and rate that a film like this shows to be more impressive than otherwise imagined; multiple identical skyscrapers; double-decker roads; massive pillars for overhead road interchanges & mono-rail lines; greenery on every flat rooftop; houses sympathetically inserted into the trees; recreation, parks & leisure apparently in harmony with development, and appropriate development of leisure facilities in wilderness park areas - with roads built for the future, although many almost empty when this was filmed! All well & good if you've got the land, of course. . .

Switching off the street lights after midnight might dull it a little, of course!
