China's Subways (by Maggie)


In this blog post, I am going to tell you about China’s subway.  People in China don’t like to wait for the next train, so they push themselves in the train even if there is no room.  They also are not afraid to push you out of the way. I like it more when the train is not so packed and people don’t have to push me out of the way.  There are also a bunch of bright sides to riding the subway.  It only costs $3 USD for all five of us to get somewhere.  Another thing is that there are subway stations everywhere so it is not that hard to get to one.  Here is a tip: If you go to China, do not take the train from 6:00pm to 6:30pm because it is rush hour and it is going to be packed! I hope you enjoyed reading about China’s subway.
Here is a video my mom took when we were on the subway in Beijing. It was crowded, but we have been on trains that were much worse.
