Cities from scratch

Some random "new" city in Western China, I have no idea which one actually - any help? New cities sprout like mushrooms in China today, due to, what else, money. China makes everything, and thus, everyone gives them money. I've visited Shenzhen several times, and was constantly amazed - what was a low-slung fishing village but 30 years ago is now a gleaming metropolis who's skyline resembles New York from certain angles. And that's happening all over China.

Lesson? Don't outsource your manufacturing base, assholes! Also too, congrats, China.

That, my friend, is not China -- note the script in the breakdown lane. We are looking at Tehran's Tohid Tunnel. Take the kids, it's the third-longest urban tunnel in the Middle East! Also, too, congrats to China anyways.

How did you know that! I'm impressed.

Let's still pretend it's China, for consistency's sake.

I borrowed your trick of moving the image into Google search -- up pops the answer. And ol' l.e.s.ter looks like a genius.
