What is the level of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States, in China?

I believe that in the minds of many travel enthusiasts, there is an "American Dream". In the last century, many Chinese people cherished the American Dream and wanted to try it. But now, with the rise of China and its domestic development, the living standards of the Chinese people have been greatly improved. Therefore, they all want to travel to the United States and see what the United States is like?

Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States and a famous tourist city in the United States. In many people's minds, the United States, as the super hegemon in the world today, must be a very modern and prosperous scene. At least there are many high-rise buildings, and advancement can be felt in many places.

But after you go there, you will be surprised by the scene in the United States. Some travel friends even joked: After going to Los Angeles, I realized that all the illusions were broken! So what is the real America like? In Los Angeles, there are not many high-rise buildings. When I get off the plane, I think I am in the wrong place. So, what level does Los Angeles compare to China?

Although the infrastructure in Los Angeles is not particularly bad, when viewed in China, it is at most the level of second- and third-tier cities. There are no high-rise buildings here. Modern skyscrapers can only be seen in the business district of Los Angeles. The rest of the houses are very dilapidated.

While traveling, what is even more unacceptable is that as an international metropolis in the United States, the construction of subways has always been criticized. Not only is there no wifi, there is no signal. (In Guangzhou, China, all subways have wifi). From a basic urban construction point of view, Los Angeles does not feel as expected.

But some travel friends said: There is no comparison with China! In fact, what the travel friend said was not that Los Angeles is far behind China, but a pun. Our Chinese Modo is the largest city in terms of economy. In 2017, Shanghai's total GDP was more than $500 billion lower than Los Angeles's.

If our Shanghai wants to surpass Los Angeles, there is still a certain gap. However, overall, Los Angeles is still a city worth traveling to. Here, you can play in Hollywood, rediscover your childhood in Disneyland, and fulfill your childhood dreams.

In this regard, what do you think of the United States? If you have the chance, would you like to visit the United States?
