China does actually have what, 4x the number of people? Is it really all that out of the ordinary for it to have projects that are 4x larger? Hanzho is 22 million people, Shanghai is 32 million people, Nanjing is 12 million people. That's just 3 of the over 100 cities larger than 1 million people. I'd expect their projects to be larger. I was blown away by the size of their bullet train stations. Japan's Tokyo station has like 4 bullet train tracks. Shanghai's has 30. Is that bragging or just planning ahead for a much larger population? Me, I love the skyscrapers. I find it interesting that Tokyo no longer feels remotely "future modern" compared to Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and I'm sure a bunch of other cities in Asia.
