    First time I've ever heard of someone getting motion sickness on the subway. Maybe you just shouldn't come then.

      Riding Line 3 for over ten stops really made me throw up... I vomited before I even got out of the station. I've lived in Guangzhou for 20 years and never thrown up on the subway before, but four days ago, it really got me...

        There are a bunch of posts warning people off Guangzhou or complaining about it. What I want to say is, first, it's not about the environment adapting to you, but you adapting to the environment. Second, isn't it possible that the behavior making you uncomfortable was actually from people from your own region?

          Oh, and another thing, most of the people telling others to 'steer clear of Guangzhou' are actually Guangzhou locals. Visitors from other places have never said that. Guangzhou is a lot of fun!

            Come if you like, don't if you don't. Just stay in your Hangzhou and don't bother leaving.

              Do you really have to be so harsh and mean? I don't get what we did to offend you.

                Huh? First time I've ever heard of someone throwing up on the subway. Unless they already had a health problem or were really drunk.

                  If even the subway makes you vomit, you probably can't handle any other form of transportation.

                    Guangzhou subway trains run fast and make many turns, so the noise can be quite loud. You can't expect them to be built to high-speed rail standards, so the soundproofing might not be great. The metro system is quite old, so the tracks are aging too. As for the e-bikes... even Guangzhou locals want to complain. All I can say is that their regulation is seriously problematic.
