UNBELIEVABLE Infrastructure | China’s MIND-BLOWING metro station

China has built many amazing infrastructure megaprojects in the last few years.
Travel across the country and you will see entire megacities popping up out of seemingly nowhere, connected by high-speed rail and epic highways.
But here in Shenzhen, the planners have turned their attention underground. The Gangxia metro station is a subway hub unlike any I have ever seen before.
It is bright, airy and cathedral-like, and, as we discover in this video, it has some pretty unusual features.

I have a question for all the Westerners who say China copies their technology etc. Question is: Where in the World - let alone Western nations - do you see such a metro station or even an airport this modern? Grow up. Wake up.

At first, it seems hilarious that there are "tourists" taking pictures in a metro station. Then on second thought, why not? It's a feat to have such clean, safe, modern looking and well functional design. Who won't want to enjoy it given a chance. It's only a pity that other people don't have this choice in their own country.

[@user-dl3nc4jx7k]

The individualistic societies of the West will fall because people don't care about each other, they are self-centered! China is a 5,000-year-old civilization with a collective consciousness and goals painted for a hundred years of development ahead, where an individual is nothing, only a community of people who can survive and achieve results together is important

[@gunsumwong3948]

The American would say without live rats and graffiti this cannot be qualified as a subway while the British would dismiss it as an underground for having no time-proven rivet, cast iron column/beam and brick! In any way its fare is too cheap so it is not in the same league as the expensive western transportation system that should be decorated with trash indicating civilisation. It should have some homeless people but no air conditioning or phone signal if it wants to be as famous as the western systems.

maybe the fact that you rarely find a bench to sit is that, one of the most heard saying, the metro manager think that if too many bench are served inside the station, their will be too many people stay inside the station, which easily cause traffic jam because the Gangxia north station is very busy and it’s a interchangeable station.
