Yanjin: The World's Narrowest Amazing City
Yanjin is a city in China that presents beautiful and stunning scenery, but at the same time this city is also known as the narrowest metropolis in the world, which seems to contradict the fact that China is the third largest country in the world, this narrow city was built along the banks of the Nansi River among steep mountains located in the northeastern part of Yunan Province.
The stretch of land sandwiched between river waters and rugged mountains on both sides seems unsuitable for a city of about 450,000 residents, but that is exactly what makes Yanjin City look special, those who have been to this city say that Yanjin City is even more suitable for appearing in fantasy movies than being a modern city in the real world.

Like most Chinese settlements: The majority of yanjin city dwellers live in an apartment building Nevertheless, because land is a very valuable commodity in the city, many apartment buildings located right on the banks of the river are built using pillars like stilts to shelter from flooding if. The river level is rising, the settlement is only 30 meters wide at its narrowest point and more than 300 meters wide at its widest point on both sides of the river; There is a main highway that stretches for several km but unfortunately with the condition of the land separated by the river there is only one bridge to connect one side of the river with the other side.
Drone footage of Yanjin City going viral on various social media over the years has made many people wonder about the reasons for people who are willing to live in this cramped city and at risk of flooding, but in fact the Yanjin area has been inhabited for hundreds of years where many locals did not think about moving away from dogs and living in other cities, unfortunately although it looks amazing it is reported that the infrastructure of Yanjin City has hindered The economic development of the area is due to the surrounding mountains on all sides and there is only one main road to pass through the city so that the city is considered inaccessible to many people.
