Greetings, soon-to-be
ESL teachers in Guangzhou, China
A developed metro
system is an important element to scale a city if it’s in a good development or
not. Guangzhou, as it’s one of the biggest and the most prosperous cities in
China, has an extremely convenient metro system and people who have been to
Guangzhou are really impressed by it.
Guangzhou metro started
the first line in June, 1997. The whole metro is young as it’s less than 20
years old, but it has been in a rapid developing always, till now, it has 8
lines total which go through almost everywhere in the downtown of Guangzhou and
1 line connects another city called Foshan. Seeing is believing, let’s see how
other foreign teachers think of our metro system, and we may find out some
useful tips from the comments.
A teacher from UK:
She is a teacher who has
been in Guangzhou for 2 years and a half，she loves the Guangzhou
metro and thinks it is new and clean.
She uses the line 3 a lot and think it’s busy all the time. Another thing she mentioned
about the convenience was the line 3 could
reach the airport directly, it made her easier to travel.
A teacher from U.S:
This is his first time to
China, he likes the Guangzhou metro,
especially the air-con. One thing he wants to remind other foreign teachers
is that better to recognize color of the
lines than the number. And number may make new comers confused.
A teacher from Australia:
He doesn’t work in the
central area of Guangzhou and needs to take a bus to school. He said luckily
the bus stops were always next to metro
exits which made his work easier. Also, when needed, he will consult the volunteers in the metro as some
of them can speak good English.
A teacher from Canada:
She is impressive about
the Guangzhou transportation, and the metro is the one she likes the most. She mentions
that toughened glass protection between
people and trains in Guangzhou is cool, and it’s necessary for children,
Guangzhou metro does it really well. But she suggests if some teachers need to interchange lines to work, better to arrange
more time for that as the morning is full of people in metro.
Hope you guys know more
about the Guangzhou metro by reading our blog. Inside the metro, there are also
some interesting advertising pictures and public-spirited advertisements to
see, they can also help you to know about Guangzhou and even China more, ENJOY!!!
