Trying to find out where this location is from some YouTube videos I’ve been watching (I tried commenting but no reply) just even the country would be a start... language on all the signs is Russian (or similar)....https://postimg.cc/gnpDvHcK

The architecture seems Asian.

I've travelled quite a bit and if I had to guess I would say Hong Kong or Kathmandu.

I am probably wrong though.

Edit:

I'm now thinking it looks Korean.

Cant you just link the video?

It does look like a modern Asian streetscape.

Certainly an artists/computer rendition.

That bus or the stone pillars don't look real.

Obviously not me personally watching them, they’ve been on the background whilst daughter watching (addicted to watching kids drive round on ride-on electric cars!) and I cant figure out the location... the confusing thing is the language (look at the signs - it’s russian or Slavic of some kind??) but the people mostly appear to be Muslim (I think?)...

Based on their other videos posted around the same time, they're in Jordan but I'm not sure which city.

That sign appears to read "No shoes! No riding on bears!"

Got to be Russia then, seems it's their national pastime (just not when kids are around, obviously)

It's the Flower Park in Grozny, the Chechen Republic, RF.

That’s a bit clearer.

That’s in the yard outside the Crown & Horns, East Ilsley.

It's all clearly an amusement park with everything themed and modelled, so you cant really tell where it is.

My guess is Belgium.
Or Chechnya
