Traveler Lizzy explores Chengdu's revolutionary subway system, particularly Line 9 — China's first fully automated driverless metro in Western China, which launched in December 2020. She is visibly awestruck by the stations' futuristic, almost sci-fi aesthetic, which she describes as looking like they were designed by AI or a spaceship interior. <br><br>Starting at the Global Center, the world's largest shopping center, Lizzy demonstrates how easy it is for foreigners to use the metro via Alipay, scanning a QR code to enter. She emphasizes the extreme cleanliness, noting she could 'literally sleep' on the floor, unlike in US subways. At Jingchung Avenue station, she is speechless, calling the infrastructure ‘crazy’ and ‘unreal,’ and challenges viewers who might claim the footage is AI-generated. <br><br>Riding the driverless train, she points out the 5G connectivity and notes that no one is holding onto the rails, finding it comfortable and fast — like a roller coaster. She then reflects on the societal impact: the subway is used by everyone — students with luggage, elderly people, and ordinary commuters — unlike in America where subways are often unsafe or used as homeless shelters. Lizzy passionately argues that the Chinese government spends tax money on citizens' convenience and safety rather than military hardware, calling China 'the hope of the world for a better future.' <br><br>She saves the best for last: after riding for over an hour and visiting four stations, the total cost was just 2.7 RMB (about 40 cents). She ends with a playful remark about seeing cute babies and jokingly hints it might be time to settle down in China.
Traveler Lizzy visits Chengdu to explore its futuristic, AI-designed metro system, Line 9. She finds it cleaner, faster, and more efficient than any U.S. subway, calling it a 'spaceship' that feels 500 years ahead. The city proves that China prioritizes public convenience over military spending.
