The beauty of the subway in China is that it does not make a profit, and yet the Chinese government continues to build more subway and HSR for locals and overseas visitors to travel around the country.
Using the subway in NYC is an even bigger adventure. I kid you not. For a start, when you enter the NYC subway, you'd be confused as you couldn't tell if you have just entered into a toilet or a subway, because the stench of urine is all over the place. Secondly, you never know if you'd be shot or stab or pushed onto subway tracks, as these are very common occurence, it adds to the adventure, for you never know if you'd come out alive or not. THAT is such a real life adventure. Also, if you're travelling to NYC or any cities in U$A, you better get insurance cover you'd be glad you did.
Just watched Jason's video of his recent adventures in Chengdu (YT channel is Living in China). The subway stations there looks more like a space station. It's wonderful that each city's subways has unique design that reflects local colour, industry and history.
It's convenient of course. It does present nefarious opportunities but I don't think China's government has any sinister plans. Here in The UK I think we need to wary of such things. Britain seems to be leading the way into an authoritarian controlling world.
As far as i know most of the big stations have quite nice designs. Smaller stations (especially the ones above ground) are more standardized. But very nice and convenient.
I am always happy and sad when i see your videos about metro systems in China. :D I love trains and need to visit China one day. Because in my country such a modern and cool system wont exist anytime soon.
@@flaviomulatojerkin Germany. We have nice trains here but the metro systems are pretty old. Most of the time its more like trams with metro like sections in the city center. So even less exciting.
@@91djdj You are funny. Look at the chinese metro systems in 25 years again. What a nonsense conparing. 🤣 And what means trams? The cities with real metro systems in China are all damn huge with millions of habitants. Do you want to compare Stuttgart (with the underground tram) with million cities? 🙄 Public transport is still far better in Germany 🙋🏻♂️
@@strasbourgerelsass1467 Depends on which public transport you're looking at. Ling distance travel is just horror. Due to construction and other issues. Local transit is good indeed. But yeah, it's old and many cities haven't really done any major renovation in the last 30-40 years. And since when does a city have to have 10 million inhabitants to go for a metro? No need for patriotism here.
@@91djdj Of course there is trouble in long distance transportation. But just this summer, when I went from Leipzig to Paris, it was a high speed pleasure. And there is no patriotism in my post. I m just tired of the internet China glorification. The reality is looking way darker behind the facade (check channels like The China show). And one more thing (also for your last question). The smallest Chinese city with a metro system has still more people than Berlin! Have a look into a 200k town in China. Maybe 10 bus lines... 😉 So yes, why millions of people are needed for a Metro? Ask in China. 🙋🏻♂️
Rafael, I've been following your channel for some years. The camera work is great, you are very clear, informative, and concise. You deserve A LOT more subs, hermano.
More facts about China metro: The people who over 60-64 years old are half price for riding. People over 65 years old are free for riding. All underground metro stations are air conditionined. All metro stations platform installed safety screens wall. Mobile signal are covered all metro systems. Some metro lines are running 160km/h. Pls, check Guangzhou metro line 18 and line 22 which are running 160km/h between some segments. The ridership in Guangzhou metro are 2.3 billion per year in recent years. That's the busiest metro in the world.
Subway is the first line of impression or experience if you're a visitor to know whether the city's conditions of quality of life as a whole and its public safety. Most often, the system is reflecting a manufacturing hood urban slum from its corrupted governing culture and Black political ideology like the city of Philadelphia and Detroit in the US, to name a few. In the most large cities, the mass transit subway system is an arteries of blood lines of everything in the town like New York here.
Hermoso. Espero visite todas las estaciones. Usted ya trajo el video más actualizado ahora de ese Metro. Yo amo Harbin aunque no lo conozca, y se lo pedí en su cuenta de Instagram
What are these cities tiers? I'm watching different videos from China lately and I hear you all talking about city tiers in China. Is this an official thing or rating? If so, what are the criteria and is there a list with tiers? Genuinely curious. Been following your channel for a while now and it's really interesting to see China from your view.
Start as a township manager. When you stand out among a group of township managers, you can be promoted to a county manager, and you must be the best before you can enter the city-level manager, provincial-level manager, and so on. To enter China's central management, you must have served as a key manager in two provinces and achieved outstanding results, otherwise you will have no chance of promotion. Chinese government officials rely on their past performance in urban management rather than seeking votes and bragging. Chinese people care more about what you do than what you say.
Comparison is good to highlight how each country overcomes the problems presented. In China the Metro and other infrastructures are for the public good.p
Im very concerned about how china is paying this youtuber to support their propaganda. He is clearly in denial about oppression in xinjiang in his other video during your visit there.
Jealousy befits you. Rafa loves subway stations and he is in a country with many beautiful and clean stations, so he’s enjoying himself. Nothing wrong with that. Too bad you can’t have the same experience, especially in Xinjiang.
This is one of the things I am impressed with about China and it is very cheap.
The beauty of the subway in China is that it does not make a profit, and yet the Chinese government continues to build more subway and HSR for locals and overseas visitors to travel around the country.
Visiting China's subway stations really is quite an adventure. They're cool and beautiful.

@@tigading2177 Yeah, NYC is really . Not looking for a life and death adventure riding the subway.

Harbin is such a distant and remote city, but even it has a subway system. The city has come a long way.
Wow, this is such a beautiful subway system and the convenience of facial recognition is fantastic.
It's convenient of course. It does present nefarious opportunities but I don't think China's government has any sinister plans. Here in The UK I think we need to wary of such things. Britain seems to be leading the way into an authoritarian controlling world.
Harbin subway station is truly magnificent. Tks for sharing.
does every Chinese subway stations all is that beautiful OMG is too crazy so beautiful
As far as i know most of the big stations have quite nice designs. Smaller stations (especially the ones above ground) are more standardized. But very nice and convenient.
I’ll just add that the metro are very safe….given I live in San Francisco, it’s a huge consideration to ride Bart our metro.
Go to Shanghai and Shenzhen, their stations are like space ships. 1st tier cities
AMAZING! I have ridden many subways around the world - there is just no comparison!
1:40 - And those different subway systems in the mentioned cities and all connected via the high speed train network. How marvelous!
A modern and neat subway station.👍👍👍

David, can foreign visitors over 65 years old ride free on the subway? How? Do they show their passports to prove their age?
That's impressive. 2nd Tier city's subway looks better than almost any city in the US of A.

China is future,my friend.
Always love to watch the videos and thanks for sharing ❤
I had no idea that Harbin has a subway now. How things evolve.
China esta al otro nivel

一千万以上人口的城市一线城市。700万到一千万以下二线城市。100万到500百万人口3线城市50万到100百万人口城市4线10万到50万人口5线城市。应该是这样的了。
人口一千万以上。经济发达的地区。北京。上海。广州。深圳。
@@chunjiangli8184 Thank you for explaining. Very much appreciate it!
Good vlog ... 🇨🇳👍
rafa. love you.🎉I ' m your male fan.not your vlog but you❤～
Are you in Heilongjiang? By the way, you can also go to Yanbian to experience the customs and customs of ethnic minorities
show the Xi'an or Tianjin metro please
I really hope that Xi jinpin be our India prime minister, and make all our India subway 2nd Harbin
Unfortunately, there's no Xi jinpin in India..but Chai wala.
one xi jinping cannot do so many things, it is accumulated from many leaders
i prefer to consider the people makes the history not just a "hero figure" …cast light on the unity not just a person
No. Modi is better for democracy!!

China 1
哈尔滨的地铁在中国应该都排不上号。。
很普通的地铁。。。。。感觉好多外国人不了解中国
Mr Rafa, there is unnecessarily comparison between countries, each country has their problems 🙏🙏🙏
Comparison is for better mutual learning and cooperation.
Comparison is good to highlight how each country overcomes the problems presented. In China the Metro and other infrastructures are for the public good.p
you can't hop the turnstile?? my religion says i can't pay the fare
we will see what they look like when they have the age of Londons underground system
Give them their flowers... don't be consumed by envy.
Public facial recognition, minority report is becoming reality (yes they used iris, I know).
Point the camera at your subject, not at your own narcissistic face.
Paying with your fingerprint and facial recognition. The dictators dream of complete control. 🙋🏻♂️😎
Cope. If US ever have this... they will claim they built heaven on earth.😂
Im very concerned about how china is paying this youtuber to support their propaganda. He is clearly in denial about oppression in xinjiang in his other video during your visit there.

Too bad you can’t have the same experience, especially in Xinjiang.
Not only all youtuber were paid and also all the scenes are made by 3d printing !
今天，还有人在相信新疆人权问题。。。。。。。。被西方媒体圈养的。。。。🤣😂😅
@@jackmok6862 It is not 3D printing, it is just computer graphics, virtual reality😀
Where is your evidence?
Unfortunately there's no xi jinping in india but Chai Wa La.
