中国が隠す場所の内部 🇨🇳 広州の巨大スラム
Inside The Place China Keeps Hidden 🇨🇳 Guangzhou’s MEGA SLUM
At the heart of Guangzhou, one of China’s most modern megacities, lies a hidden world — Shipai Village (Shipai Cun). Just steps away from luxury malls, business districts, and skyscrapers, this tiny 0.73 km² urban village is home to over 100,000 residents.
Once a rural settlement, Shipai Village was swallowed by Guangzhou’s rapid economic growth and transformed into a dense vertical maze of handshake buildings, where walls nearly touch and sunlight barely reaches the ground. Because of its extreme density, chaos, and raw everyday life, it’s often compared to the modern-day Kowloon Walled City, earning the nickname Guangzhou’s City of Darkness.
In this video, I go deep inside The Place China Keeps Hidden, exploring narrow alleys, neon-lit streets, rooftops, and the daily life inside one of China’s most famous urban villages. This is where migrant workers chase their dreams, while native villagers earn annual dividends from massive rental empires built on tiny plots of land.
Shipai Village is often labeled a “slum” in Western terms — but in China, places like this are known as urban villages, a unique result of fast urbanization and economic expansion. Soon, this neighborhood will disappear due to large-scale redevelopment, making this a rare look at a disappearing chapter of China’s urban history.
I explore Shipai Village day and night, walking every dark alley and noisy street, meeting locals, checking safety, visiting rooftops, and trying local food — to understand what life is really like inside Guangzhou’s MEGA SLUM.

Cheers from Kazakhstan
Yes it is crowded and a bit rundown in some places, but I would hardly call it a slum. Where are the beggars? Where are all the broken windows and garbage piled up in street? Where is the human waste?
Cześć 🤓 this place is really crazy. Similar like Hongkong but more crazier. Never seen this before. Take care about because the government don’t want you the world is seeing this.
You are a disgrace YouTuber , with no vibes
Hurting for views to pay your bills

Spit-Fu hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Best and shadiest video ever by the Homeless Pelican !!
💟 Dude! 😎 Your Attitude Makes All That You Are Doing Matter🤙🏼
Welcome back to China! Your video is amazing and so fun to watch ❤ hopefully this neighborhood won’t disappear so soon like Kowloon walked city, it’s a heritage site of Guangzhou
Long live Kowloon city!
You can see by the modern buildings encircling this area these buildings don't have a long time before they are replaced. The reason It is so good for a "slum" is the buildings are old and that's it. Conditions are fine as the labour costs to maintain it are very low because of low wages, food and rent is also cheap because of gov control, so the standard of living is better than slums in the west where everything is expensive. Older buildings in China don't have toilets and showers, instead they have public conveniences unless in some cases have been retrofitted. I don't know how people can find their way home in here, no apparent addresses.
This is not a "SlUM". The villagers there collectively own the land of the village. When Guangzhou expanded the villagers did not and were not force to sell their village land. The land there currently generates an income for the the land use. Each villager and their decedent get a cash dividend from that land use. And the villagers there are quite well off. At lot better deal then the American Indian or Hawaiians got when they were forced off their land!
No trash, no drugs addict
You should make one more video about this slum, so fun to watch ❤
🤔
Podoba mi się takie oprowadzanie ❤🔥
Świetna robota!
The CCP’s Crimes Are Serious
Torstey Trey, executive director of Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH)
Torstey Trey, executive director of Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH) said that the San Francisco rally is extremely important: it is a matter of people’s lives. He elaborated, “We estimate, in the past 26 years, already over 1 million Falun Gong practitioners died from live organ harvesting by the CCP. In the Nazi concentration camps, humans were used in experiments—in the CCP’s concentration camps, people’s organs are taken while they are alive.”
Dr. Trey said Falun Gong practitioners follow Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance while the CCP embodies deception, evil and strife. He called on people not to remain silent in the face of the CCP’s brutal crimes, and to stand with Falun Gong practitioners to stop the regime from continuing to forcibly harvest organs.
Organ Harvesting at this Scale Is Unprecedented
Ali Centurion of DAFOH
Ali Centurion, a DAFOH representative, said that the largest group of victims in the CCP’s organ harvesting crime is Falun Gong practitioners. They are used as an involuntary source of organs.
He said the CCP’s organ harvesting is a medical assault that is unprecedented, trampling on fundamental ethical standards in the most horrifying way. Many consider it is the most severe violation of medical and transplant ethics in the 21st Century.
Mr. Centurion said, “DAFOH will absolutely not stop its efforts and give up its mission [to end forced organ harvesting] until we see the phenomenon of organ harvesting by the CCP end.”
18:13 一个视频，两段互相吐口水的，笑死
wow amazing
This might not be great but isn’t that bad at all.
I lived here for a short time when I was in Guangzhou. People who live here are just temporarily rent a room, because here is so near the city center and can save time to work, basically no one really own houses here, the houses owners here are super rich and they don’t live here 😂
Aku tidak menyangka, di tempat yang ramai dan sempit seperti ini, mereka tetap bisa bersih. Itu poinnya, i'm approve it 👏👏👏
Always a great journal entry! Safe and happy traveling!
You're trying to paint a picture that isn't true. Hilarious.
Why is with the people spitting at each other it's disgusting
These urban villages are common in Shenzhen too. There is a one next door to where I live. They are not really slums, just a phase in China's development. They get transformed into shopping centres and residential blocks over time.
I'm from Guangzhou. That Romanian guy must be looking for fun lol
This is slum? This even better than most US cities and Europe with the addicts and pee everywhere
