This makes me sad, but one common thing Ive noticed is that Chinese travelers often expect other places to be as new and shiny as their own cities neglecting that most places have not had such a recent growth spike for new infrastructure and infrastructure wont always be brand new. Many tourists complain that Kyotos train system is old, while its serves its job to the local population and still is regularly maintained with minimal delays and a lack of overcrowding. It just wasn't built in the last 10 to 15 years.
