@icgee The one weakness in the MRT system is the lack of a dedicated airport train line, like HK, Taipei, Seoul, etc... I use the MRT a lot, except for the airport. Too much hassle.

This morning in Huanggang, the guy in line ahead of me was holding a Republic of China passport and a 台湾同胞 card. He also looked quite anxious. Probably a newbie. The staff at Huanggang are adamant about the queues. Foreigner on the left, Chinese nationals on the right.

Well of course... The two governments dont recognize each other's passport. So RoC residents enter China as PRC citizens. The dude kept looking at his passport, looking lost. Quick scan of the card, photo, and he was let in. He did look like he enjoyed that part though... 😁

While exiting SZ, I was queuing up at the x-ray station. Hongkie about my age arrives, jumps the queue right ahead of me, drops his bag on the conveyor, and runs. I grabbed his bag, dropped it on the floor. He's probably still waiting for his bag.
