00:00 Nanjing is the narrowest city in the world. Tucked snugly along the winding Nanqi River

00:05 in southern China, in this quirky city, even the streets play a game of "who's the narrowest".

00:11 At some spots, they're around 98 feet wide, making you question if you accidentally wandered

00:17 into a funhouse maze. There are two streets, one on either side of the river, where you

00:22 can stretch your stuff and indulge in some shopping and food. Mountains surround the

00:27 city, and it manages to have 400,000 inhabitants. The locals here are no ordinary builders.

00:34 They've mastered the art of defying gravity by constructing houses on stilts along the

00:38 mountainside. Why, you ask? Well, flooding, of course. With mountains hugging it from

00:43 all sides, it has no choice but to grow upward.
