Gao Tie and subway in Beijing

I was not so keen on taking the fast train from Hangzhou to Beijing (6.5 hrs), but my brother preferred train. Considering taking subway Line #4 between Beijing South and Beida, I gave in.

The train ride was fine, except for the food: RMB30 for a set, no other choices. I didn't want to try it (and ended up wasting half).

Getting on Subway Line #4 was easy, as long as you have two 1-yuan coins. A young man had RMB100, and had to beg someone to get him a ticket. I think a manned station to exchange bills would be necessary (since labors in China are not expensive), or the ticket machine should take credit cards.

I thought the 2-yuan subway ride was way too cheap. In Guangzhou, the cost is determined by distance. Not sure what kind of systems other cities use.

The visibility got worse and worse as the train traveled north. But, I could see light blue sky over Beida, and the moon. I feel lucky.
