Chongqing-
Alex In The City "China's Friendliest Train " Episode 13
In Episode 13, called "China's Friendliest Train ", I share my experience taking a classic Green train from Chongqing's North Station to Baitao Station. Boarding a train that costs 2USD to an unknown destination is fun. Before China's trains were air-conditioned and China's railways were speeded up, "green cars" were the standard coating on China's railway trains. "Green train" is the most representative image of China Railway passenger trains from the 1950s to the 1980s.

1990S-2000S Every time China's railway speeds up, it is necessary to update and upgrade railway passenger cars. Some "green cars" will be eliminated, and the "green cars" will gradually be replaced by air-conditioned vehicles with higher construction speeds and more advanced facilities. (with Blue and Red coating)

The Blue and Red coating cars can reach the speed of 160km/h while the pace of Green cars is 120km/h at most, usually much lower, and it burns coal for water and heating. Most of them do not have air conditioning, but the ticket price is relatively low.

Since 2014, red and blue carriages have been painted green. There are only two colours for passenger trains in China: green for general passenger trains and white for high-speed trains.
This means the "real green trains" only include these series: 21series、22series、22Bseries、23series、25Bseries etc. Come join the adventure.

Chongqing-A new series of vlogging is coming to Chongqing. Let me introduce myself. My name is Alex, and I have recently moved to Chongqing, China. I was born in Canada, but I have always been interested in China. The population of Chongqing is similar to that of my country. Some people might think that a vlogger it's just a person talking about him or herself, and maybe that's how it was many years ago. Some vloggers create educational content, and others talk about their political views or experiences. I try to inspire and motivate people to change their perceptions of China.

So why do I do this?
With technology no longer an obstacle, I can get my message out to the world. People want an inside, non-biased look at real life in this competitive media landscape, and my vlogs deliver you that and more.
I will show you China, but I will show you my accomplishments and my struggles.
