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.
So true 😂
Well, probably a Hollywood sci-fi movie. Some others will ask how much money Chinese pay you to act in this CG video.
@@ALWH1314yeah, they always said paid actors. Well 1,4 billions paid actors is massive. It makes Hollywood+ Bollywood combined looks like a germ, very smalll😅😅
Maybe they have the technology but they probable would use it in military and wars firstly.
Where has been the first railway station? - west Where has been the first train made - west Where has been the first car madw - west Noone gives a fuck what the condition now is, but where it has been invented is the holy crux. Without that invention of the west that china could look upon China is not more different than Uganda or Rwanda ;)
China is future for all humans...👍
Yeah the future battlefield for world War III
@@TacticalMayo We definitely need to fight for our future 🤔
Yeah, only if they removed social credit score control system and didn't ruin the lives of Uyghurs
@@TacticalMayo That would make the US too.
Don't you think the one-way one-lane 3 km tunnel with taxis gong 40km/h in Las Vegas is the future???? 😄
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.
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
They are so busy on fighting proxy wars all over the world! No time for the citizens, sorry guys 😂
@@gregwang8628 Well the 'defence' industry executive needs another luxury yacht this year, so....
Yes, Go XiongAn. You will be even more impressed.
Yes I was there a week ago to change to a different line. it caught me by complete surprise. Its by far the most impressive subway station I've ever seen. its an absolute design and engineering marvel.
China is way ahead the other nations than the united states I've been to China to saw for myself and it's true.
yeah. metro station way ahead the other nations. and Speech control is also way ahead. For example, not long ago, a chef with millions of fans posted a tutorial on egg fried rice. Blocked on all websites. Because that day, Chairman Mao’s son was killed by an American plane while making egg fried rice in North Korea.

CHINA IS BUILT BY WORLD BEST SCIENTISTS N ENGINEERS. RESTS OF THE WORLD ARE BUILT BY WORLD BEST POLITICIANS, BUSINESSMEN, TYCOONS, WARMONGERS. 😅😅😅😅😅
Very well said
They have best lawyers too
well,back in 20th century The US is still built by best scientists and engineers,can't imagine how it turns into today's USA
I have been to china many times and many big cities small cities and town every kind of infrastructure is modern and superb and very clean . Chinese are very hard working and smart of doing things.
You sure? Small cities and towns in China are clean??
you do realize that the places they CAN go to are different from our everyday lives?@@lingfengge6666
Can you tell me a small city or town in China that looks modern and futuristic like this?
@@daniel.555 Mengcheng County, Anhui
@@kangbuleThat city has 1.5 million inhabitants, it's not small.
3:43 it also helped prevent people from jumping into the track or pushing by strangers. NYC every year many people die because of it.
In China, all subway waiting rooms are closed
There's another modern station just built in Shenzhen, the Dameisha Station
Wow the infrastructure looks amazing, streets are clean and it seems so safe. Meanwhile in America, a 65yo grandfather got shot dead in the NYC subway today after an argumebt over loud music and an average of 160 children per month are sent to hospitals for gun injuries. That's freedom for ya 😢
It's OK because grandpa got freedom and democracy😢
@@TsLengFreedoom and Democrazy. 🤣🤣🤣
@@williamwongkimping3998 yes. Absolutely
Grandpa now is freed from fake democracy now!
And that is democracy for you.
So amazing! Clean and safe.
I love China! ❤❤❤
I love China ❤❤ too I am Hong Kong Chinese living in Canada.
Although I'm Nepalese I wish I was born in China ❤
@@Killer-group Tibet is from China, so you're right. There is no contradiction between loving Tibet and loving China.
You are NOT the only one. Many people ALL over the World WANTS a Peaceful, Prosperous, Conducive, Caring govn, Good Facilities( Health Care, Transport, Education, Recreation, Sport, Parks, Nature Reserves, etc ) ..... with MOST of it being Provided by the CCP !!! My estimate is that over 4 Billion People in this World WISH to have what CHINA can provide. And Who cares about DEMOCRACY ?? When You are getting Rob, Killed, No Food, No Housing, No healthcare, Govn does NOT care, etc...... Just like those in the US !!!!
“Although I'm Nepalese I wish I was born in China.” ----------------------- I hear ya! I told the liquor store owner here in my neighborhood in the US that he looked half Chinese and half Indian (He is from Nepal). He wasn’t happy and thought it was an insult since he didn’t want anything to do with Indians or India! He told me: “Please don’t say I look like an Indian, Chinese is okay, but not Indian!”😝😂 He said India stole a lot of land from his country and bullies his country all the time!
Free from the control of the US and the West and fair cooperation with China is the bright future of your country.
@@grandwonder5858 So where does this store own come from, Nepal? Pakistan?
The ceiling of the metro station looks incredible ❤❤❤.
There is no doubt about it, China is the most modern advanced nation of all.
中国国土面积很大,人口也很多,从科技上应该是最先进之一,但平均收入和发达国家还是有差距,不过中国的物产丰富,生活非常精彩。
That's an exaggeration
Dude China is still a developing country to us Chinese people,China still have the long way to go. Chinese love peace and not wanna any wars, just enjoy our lives
@@michaello4411 you are living in the past, take a look, there's content everywhere, better still, open Google Earth and zoom in and see what the rest of the world might look like in 30 years
I think in terms of infrastructure spending and high end urban areas, china is the top nation. Income level and all that will improve in time. China spends a large chunk of its cash on education. I believe this will give them the edge in a couple of decades.
Gangxia North station is the most impressive subway stations I visit.
I love the metro in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, they are clean , efficient and the fares are cheap.
Thanks for sharing your experience; although I have never been to China before, I could enjoy the sights you show to the world. Thanks once again
The metro station if China is futuristic and excellent. I will visit China one day. Its a beautiful country.
hahaha omg…I have been there and I didn't think it was special……maybe i just take everything for granted since they are just normal in China………until now I live overseas and things are different
So futuristic!
I live near there. There are some great fast food and shops there and it connects to One Avenue elite shopping mall, which then itself connects to the convention centre.
When I was at a Chinese subway I was awe-struck by its beauty and architecture wonders! When I was at NYC subway I was awe-struck by the filth and the smells of human feces and urine that made me vomit!
Very honest opinion.
Shenzhen is a futuristic city of China ❤❤❤
AMAZING CHINA...........
Beautiful content work and beautiful places in China
You scan your face when you’re buying the ticket at the machine then it will recognise it at the barriers.
😮😮 Their technology is simply out of this world
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.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So wong.
It's scandalous that the trains run on time.
Yes, add the smells of urine and feces that the American subways are famous for and this is what makes the US’s subways superior to the Chinese odorless subways!😝😂
@@grandwonder5858 😅😅😅😅😅😅
I have been to China many times. I remember the days when Beijing street was filled with bicycles and not many cars. These days you have top of the range cars zooming around and not many bicycles to be seen,
those days have gone
Compared to the turn of the millennium, it’s an earth-shaking change
Still many bicycles. Few own bicycles now due to the bike sharing
El país dónde pasan las cosas 👏👏👏

I think China is the safest country in the world, the people are kind, it's the best country.
Yay 🎉❤ let’s watch …😊 Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
lol putting London Victoria and Paddington 🇬🇧to shame 😳 😅😂 …thinking of my little sh!tt/ one next door! 🙄☹️ We are going backwards big time💔 I can see why you love China so much … very exciting ❤🎉 whilst here it’s so dull ….

Love your videos, thanks Jack and Nico 😊😊
I actually just saw your video now. Your video is very good and allows more people from other countries to understand China. Your introduction is very good, certification from Chinese people Living in Germany, I have begun to miss China
马上过年了,不回来过个年吗?
Another newly built awesome station in Shenzhen is called Dameisha Station
how awesome is it ?
I am from China. To use face recognition, I should open it on an App that cooperates with the subway.
Very informative video, appreciate all the research you did !!
It Feels Like Airport Indeed 😇❤️
Thank you guys for sharing this wonderful video, it looks amazing and I can not wait to see.
I've watched many if such videos, this had got to be the best, content wise and presentation, with a bit of cheekiness. Subscribed.
Enjoyed your video very much. Thanks for taking the time to research and present us a video that is comparable or better than most TV travel programs. Subscribed😏
If your guys are still in Shenzhen, you should also check other two new metro stations in Shenzhen. One of them , you can walk to beach just right off the station. Really really pretty!😍
Magnificent Architecture👍❤️
Great video of great infrastructure. Thank you.
Amazing and Beautiful.. Well done China 👍 And please respect the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines
Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tai Bang Le Happy to See you Madam Nico And Sir Jack 😇❤️
Shenzhen is the technology hub of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Bay Area. (I think they need a shorter English name). GDP is about the same as Texas in between New York State and California. Shenzhen City GDP alone is larger than that of the country of Vietnam, population of 18 million vs 98 million.
Short for: big bay area.
It is called Greater Bay Area or GBA
But rural china poor than rural vietnam
It's all part of the Pearl River Delta. The most populated urban area in the world.
@@nganvo840What you're talking about is the comparison between rural China 30 years ago and rural Vietnam today
Welcome to my home city!❤
Really amazing !
I was at this station almost the same time as you guys. Thank you for showing the world how amazing this place is ❤
Did you see the Subway wonderman? wow, so good!
The reason why you can't pay may be that your Alipay is only bound with a credit card. Alipay in some small stores only supports debit card payment
I like the way you get along. It's very interesting.😂
Thanks for this nice video
Thanks a lot!
unbelievable (stunning) infrastructure aside, i love nico's adorable voiceovers. that is all.
Great places! Nice video ♥️🇵🇭
So futuristic❤
SO insane architecture!😮
Definitely an amazing structure and art as well! I agree on the design of the bathroom did not match to the interior and structure 😅 thanks for this video, Jack and Nico! Got the idea and a glimpse of Shenzhen ❤
Lively and very interesting
Classy design, very nice. #RFMvids
Cool❤
Lovely couple.
چین بدون شک ❤️🌹👏
❤❤❤❤
Was in Shenzhen in 2016, wish this station was built then!
amazing
So futuristic.
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.
Yes very good point, you are probably right!
go to 西冲 beach in shenzhen
i thought its Daxing airport in BJ from thumbnail haha
London, Berlin, ...., than come Paris, Paris, Paris...., not long ago come USA, USA, USA, USA....., now is the time for China, China, China, and more China, China, China.....and more to come...
I thought you two have gone back to UK. Great video!
Full marks for editing
I usually tell my credit card companies dates in travelling I’ve had them freeze my account when I ran up a few purchases half way across the world
와~~~
Thank you for the people who like china.these people are wiser people, too.😄
China is the most modern advanced nation of all.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
that's face recognization entrance is just for elderly people more then 60, so not only foreigners, but also young chinese can not register that. QR Code or NFC is more popular
Oh cool thanks for letting us know!
It looks as beautiful as the New York City subway. Wow!!
NYC Subway 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💩💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Is it warm in Shenzhen during winter right now?
Although skyscrapers are not the most livable places for humans, this phenomenon still reflects the prosperity of the economy.
❤❤❤
Tip of the iceberg ! Chen Min'er, Secretary of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the first -tier city, took the initiative to announce: Tianjin's debt ratio is about 500% ! This reflects the dilemma of many local government in China. For example ---a person has assets of 100 billion yuan but liabilities of 500 billion yuan, What is going on !? 「Abandoning Marxism-Leninism and reviving China」is the way rectify the source.
You can also take a look at the debt situation of the United States, where China is one of its major creditors
The liabities are spread over long-term periods in Tianjin etc.
referring Scanning QR as old school. GOODJOB
Can u recommend a Chinese hotel around Futian Port Entry area
Every American knows that almost everything is made in China I know because I've been to China many times my home town was Zhongshan Daiwan Village born there in 1929 arrived to America in 1939 at 10 years old long story------------.
你这么大了😮
China's train station looks better than the U.S airport 😀😅
Lol true. Our airports do suck though. 😂 I agree with that.
Chinese Infrastructure ranked No.1 in the world
中国では殆どのトイレでトイレットペーパーが流せない😂
@3:40 - also note the incoming/outgoing speeds of the trains are very fast ( to maximize train frequency during rush hours). The tunnels shield you from the wind bursts.
China is living in future
❤
Phwoarr!! Show us your metrolines.
Please, show the snow city of Harbin, china
it has closed now
face recognition is next level stuff. how it's able to distinguish between 1 billion people. insane.
It has many errors. It's been known. I think it has a secondary option if your face happens to be similar to someone else, like they have follow-up question about their names and other personal info.
Cleaner than the airports in the US, no homeless, no random attacks, no crime.
I come from this city Shenzhen.
Can you imagine subway stations is a tourist attraction
