It's funny that a video about subway stations could make someone homesick, but I watched that and found myself really missing life in Shanghai and how you can quickly zip around the city by subway and feel comfortable because of the quality of the system and infrastructure, much of which is just as nice or nicer than the stations shown in Chengdu. It has something like 300-400 stations now and is a massive contribution to quality of life for people across income levels. It's seriously great.
