Bagua Town: China's version of "Barcelona"! There are almost no traffic lights in the city!

Its urban layout is very regular

A bit of Barcelona indeed

But take a closer look

In fact, it is a giant "gossip town"

Bagua Town: China's version of "Barcelona"! There are almost no traffic lights in the city!

It is said to be in the world

The largest and most complete Bagua City

And it wasn't unintentional to build it like this

It is indeed the center of the Bagua Cultural Square

It is the Tai Chi "Yin and Yang" two instruments

By the direction of the gossip

Designed at equal distances and at the same angle

Eight main streets protrude out like a ray from the center

Each main street is 1,200 meters long

There is a ring road connecting the eight main streets every 360 meters or so

And there are basically no traffic lights on the city roads

The reason for this is:

Experts and scholars alike proposed it back then

Since the roads are interconnected and connected

This is a county where there will be no traffic jams and road blocks

So in 1996 the traffic lights on the road were abolished

Bagua City thus became a city without traffic lights

(But according to netizens, there are still traffic lights in the city)

But in the eyes of netizens

Or is it because the town has not many people

So it's relatively smooth

Besides

It's also easy to get lost in Bagua Town

Streets and alleys crisscrossing you

So that newcomers do not immediately recognize the way

All in all, this small town is really mysterious and shocking!

Netizens also speculated:

With such a big seal, what is there underground?
