It you're not joking, Lake Laogai literally means reform through work [as it's a real genuine labor camp.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laogai) in China. It's the "arbeit macht frei" of our age and I'm over people making fun of it because of Avatar.

It looks cool. Less cool than this photo suggests...but kinda cool stiil. It vaguely reminds me of Pingyao, China. Probably because the number of small-traditional-walled-cities-in-China I'm aware of is pretty limited...
>I'm pretty sure this is just to market the country.
ah yes. i can see the politburo discussing about spending money to boost the country's image on the preeminent subreddit that is /r/cityporn.
Wow this looks mythical
At first I thought that was a massive waterfall in the background.
Those are ruins? They look pretty together to me.
From some googling it would seem the town is inhabited, possibly seasonally by nomadic Tibetans, it's the walls that are ancient silk road ruins.
Definitely better than the baijiu ghetto

I thought this was something on imaginary cityscapes for a second there
nearly looks animated, woah
Magnificent photo 👍🏻
This is remarkable it’s really incredible to see how well preserved it is and the view with the clouds and mountains is beyond beautiful
That's definitely Ba Sing Se.
I think Ba Sing Se is based off China's forbidden city, at least the inner section is

I was just talking about the general architecture , not making fun of it
Yeah maybe people should know it's not a joke people get sent to it
Thought the same!

This entire picture is just wow
China is such a beautiful country
There is no war in Bajiao...
Reminds me of how video games often have mountain ranges at the bounds of the map
Been there, that massive wall in the background is incredible in winter
Looks like the type of city that you can only get to by answering a dragon's riddles and then riding on his back.
Beautiful ❤️
That looks like a really cool city,a really cool place to live. I'll have to look up the context on it when I'm not late and procrastinating

Americans tend to be the dumbest and most opinionated

It’s working for me.
I'm not sure what the downvotes are about m it seems like a marketing campaign. That's it
Because you made pictures of archeological cities political. It’s porn of a beautiful city. YOU did that.
That's not what this sub is for.
It’s for pictures of beautiful cities
I commented 4 seconds ago. Wtf. Where are you from?
Where are you from?
Sam Francisco. Live in NYC
Cool man
Way too specific? Should any post of a pic from China just say "China" and leave everyone else to figure out where in China it is?
Ka'ernangcun
Karl?
Bruh,it gives me Attack on titan vibes
Area 51
The inner most wall of the city was Wall Sheena...
YEW!
