Upon hearing this, the subway staff explained with a smile: "Because they have the Capital Metro app downloaded on their phones. They scan the Capital Metro app when entering the subway and scan it again when exiting, and the system will automatically deduct the fare from their phones."
"Oh wow~ I see, your place is really advanced!" Cole Marjorie exclaimed.
Today, just buying tickets has brought me a lot of shock.
China is truly an amazing country!
A little while later, Cole Maggiore and his family passed through the subway entrance turnstiles and followed the signs to the waiting area to wait for the train.
While waiting for the car, Cole Maggiore and his entourage kept looking around, occasionally letting out sounds of amazement.
Soon, the subway they were waiting for arrived.
The "bullet-shaped" subway train is streamlined and over 120 meters long, with each car body being about 20 meters long.
The interior design of the train is simple, stylish and elegant, emphasizing fashion and modernity.
Compared to the aging London Underground, Cole Maggiore even felt somewhat ashamed.
Less than two minutes later, the train started moving.
The subway trains have almost no bumps or vibrations, but they travel at a very fast speed.
...
More than an hour later, Cole Magiori and his party finally arrived at the hotel they had booked.
After checking in and putting away their luggage, Cole and his family couldn't wait to go out and explore.
The city boasts both towering skyscrapers, bustling traffic, and dazzling lights, a highly modernized scene, and quaint old alleyways where countless ancient customs and local life offer a unique flavor, including sugar figurine making, diabolo playing, and more...

“Cole Maggiore, how’s China? I’ve already bought my plane ticket and I’m coming to China tomorrow to watch the Olympics!” Paul Martin asked.
“Wow, China is absolutely amazing! You can’t even imagine how wonderful it is here, how many surprises and wonders it will bring!” Cole Maggiore exclaimed excitedly. During his stay in China, he visited many places and experienced a great deal of Chinese culture. The more he learned, the more he realized how profound and extensive Chinese culture is, even noting that every Chinese dish has an extraordinary history. During this time, he also learned how to use mobile payment and the Meituan app to order takeout.
Cole Maggiore believes that China is a very rich and powerful country, not the backward and poor country that Western media portray it to be.
Moreover, China is a very safe country, and people don't need to worry about their personal safety when they go out at night.
Compared to Europe and America, it's a world of difference.
Cole Maggiore even considered immigrating to China.
Paul Martin smiled dismissively upon hearing this: "I went to China on a business trip in 1984. China was so backward; even its capital didn't have a single decent skyscraper..."
Paul Martin's tone carried a hint of disdain; London, England, was already filled with skyscrapers at that time.
Upon hearing this, Cole Maggiore looked utterly astonished. His gaze drifted out through the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows. As dusk settled, dozens of exquisitely designed, towering skyscrapers shone brightly, a breathtaking spectacle of light...
