I spent a long weekend in Chongqing, working as an IELTS examiner. I left on Friday evening, taking the express train, so that I could arrive early and not have to go directly from the train station to the testing center on Saturday.

The express train leaves from the new Chengdu East Railway Station, almost the size of an airport terminal.

Blurred reflections at the railway station.
