A foreigner tried taking the Beijing buses and was completely stunned: one of the bus stop names was truly amazing, as it included the four directions – east, west, south, and north – and read “East of South Square at Beijing West Station””； A trip along the North Fourth Ring Road is even more interesting: Anhui Bridge East, Anhui Bridge West, Anhui Dongqiao East, Anhui Dongqiao West, Anhui Xiqiao East, Anhui Xiqiao West... Another aspect that really tests foreigners’ ability to understand Chinese spoken announcements is when it says, “We have arrived at Qianmen; please get off at the back door.”
Hahaha, interesting. The last time I was on the subway in Guangzhou, there was a station called Gongyuanqian. At first hearing it, it gave me a sense of being transported to another era
There’s no such joke related to Chongqing North, right?
Not to mention foreigners; even locals can get confused.
