Might be too late now, but suggest the road via daxuzhen, and xingping. Good balance of backroad vibes, and decent road surface (requires a short ferry near xingping, which is honestly a highlight!)

It’s a global phenomenon. Back in my home city (in Aus)the local govt is changing building regs (to mandate larger garages) because too many people are buying cars that don’t fit in their garages and parking on the street 🤦

I’m less positive about the awful cycling infrastructure. Especially as bikes are not technically allowed on most roads. Also as a former Beijinger I don’t see the big gulf described. Some areas of Beijing equally modern and full of robotaxis(if that’s your measure). Fwiw tho, I prefer life in SZ
