Question Can’t believe I never bothered to ask but what’s up with this giant blob of sand in China?
I’m guessing not many people live there but is there any mining or other economic activities going on here? Also how did this place form and why does it look so different from the surrounding area?

Question What city is smaller than people think?
The first one that hit me was Saigon. I read online that it's the biggest city in Vietnam and has over 10 million people.
But while it's extremely crowded, it (or at least the city itself rather than the surrounding sprawl) doesn't actually feel that big. It's relatively easy to navigate and late at night when most of the traffic was gone, I crossed one side of town to the other in only around 15-20 by moped.
You can see Landmark 81 from practically anywhere in town, even the furthest outskirts. At the top of a mid size building in District 2, I could see as far as Phu Nhuan and District 7. The relatively flat geography also makes it feel smaller.
I assumed Saigon would feel the same as Bangkok or Tokyo on scale but it really doesn't. But the chaos more than makes up for it.
What city is smaller than you imagined?
