Shanghai Railway Station

Sunday morning, I was excited to take a train to a neighboring water town, Suzhou. Unfortunately, assuming that I understood the woman helping me with the Chinese ticket machines, this weekend the trains were so busy that there was only one later train available. After having waited in line for a half hour and realizing that more waiting was to come, I decided to take pictures of the lines and then leave for a more accessible tourist activity.

The Shanghai Railway Station is the hub for all trains passing through the city and is by far the most crowded place I’ve seen here.
