i don't know what's going on? i thought that i'm in a metro station not in an art gallery
what is going on? there's paintings everywhere
i'm not sure if i took a wrong turn somewhere i think we might have ended up in the louvre
in paris i feel like i'm on the set of a sci-fi movie just look at this what's going on
look how clean it is it's immaculate
look at this on my phone
5g down here on the train and the london underground i don't even think you can get 1g
maybe half a g
look at that it even has the time how long it will take between the stations
you know that movie uh a 2001 a space odyssey i feel like i'm in that movie
we're in some kind of space station about to set off to mars
i've never seen anything like this ever
oh my god oh my god where are we when's the next when's the next spaceship to mars
this is crazy what the hell pandas pandas right now
i'm about to get on to line nine now let me show you something special about line nine

i'm just i'm flabbergasted by all these different uh kinds of stations
what is this one
let's deeply apologize for my lack of knowledge about each of these stations but i mean it's
just so many if anyone knows what's the theme of this one then i really appreciate that wow
i don't know if you guys have noticed this but on all the lines all the stations and all these
different trains that i've been on i've not seen one single piece of rubbish trash litter anywhere
china is really embarrassing america at the moment especially when america's subway looks like this
i mean this just blows any other country's metro system subway whatever i want to call it
blows it straight out of the water i mean it's just uncomparable you can't compare
the uk the uk london underground forget about it the us the u.s if you go into a new york subway
you're lucky to come out with your life
now i know what you're thinking where is everyone
it's just me walking around well it's actually uh it's just gone after lunch time and it's
a tuesday so i'm guessing everyone is in their office working right now i'm heading to line one
chengdu's metro system is so huge when you're not traveling during rush hour
you might not actually see that many people around i mean you can see a few here
we're now at qingyang taoist temple station we've got the taoist theme

there's quite a few more people at this station as you can see i guess we're passing through
one of the uh busy areas actually what time is it am i heading into rush hour
there's the metro map and the chengdu metro system is actually the fourth
longest metro system in the world with around uh 13 lines i believe but you know probably
with china's speed there'll be a new line next week
yeah uh-huh yeah lincoln suddenly appeared from somewhere aha
finger where did you come from it just suddenly appeared where are we going tell everyone where
we're going lincoln refused to go in the crowd thinking's causing all kinds of trouble

pram strolling around because the prince the prince insisted on being carried around
where are we heading to we're heading to panda avenue and avenue here we come just
waiting on the train now with lincoln lincoln we're waiting on the train to panda avenue
of course they've got a station called panda avenue in chengdu lincoln what do you think
