Questions about planes and technology on Haixing

[likealeafonthewind]

Do planes exist? I don't remember seeing any in the background of any of the episodes, and while in the novel, there's a scene where they're traveling to Kunlun's mountain via plane, there's no such scene in the show (the one time they do go to the mountain, they drive there). 

Also, there doesn't seem to be cars or any kind of vehicle in Dixing, right? Does everyone just get around by walking? If they have to go somewhere far, do they find someone with teleportation powers and pay them to take them somewhere? (On a side note, if Zhu Jiu's teleportation can only be done when there's sunlight present, how did his powers ever get activated in Dixing?)

Technology development seems much slower on Haixing in general than in our world, especially given the fact that an alien spaceship landed on their planet 10,000 years ago and introduced aliens into their civilization. With that, I would have expected them to be much further along by now, like exploring space already.

Don't give me ideas! :)

I find a lot of the world-building only works with copious amounts of handwaving because they so obviously crammed the whole alien-planet thing on top of the Chinese novel setting. So we can pretty much use the bits we like, fill in the gaps however we want and discard the others.

That's pretty much what I do with any canon, tbh.
