I like it, but I would not call it "nature's nest". On the
contrary, I would say living like this is unnatural, as it is
unlikely to lead to competitive advantage in reproduction.
Also, Guilin is in Guangxi Province:

This fits our theory of southern superiority:

How architecturally colonized is "New China"? Today we will look
at Gulangyu:

foreign residents on the island established an informal
organization that became formally organized several decades

> The consulates, churches, hospitals, schools, police stations,
etc. built by those foreign communities explain the
predominantly Victorian-era style architecture that can still be
seen throughout Gulangyu.

And we have present-day neocolonialist "whites" (with zero guilt
obviously) still making money off Gulangyu by YouTubing about
the buildings that their tribe built:

If I were in charge, all Western architecture here would be
demolished. But it's not just that in reality it has not been
demolished. It is worse:

More accurately, the non-Western system outperformed the Western
system.

This is why anyone who thinks "New China" is better than ancient
China should be laughed at.
