Chinese railway stations are interesting.

They are always massive spaces that could accommodate many more people than you see there. Though, I guess, sometimes it must be busy. This station is for a city an hour from us. As well, the experience is more like an airport. You need ID to get in and can only go down - the seating sits over the trains - to the platform just before the train leaves.

An expansive Chinese railway station features rows of empty seating areas under a high ceiling with modern lighting.
