China is often in the news for the wrong reasons. For example, animal activists condemn the demand for rhino horn and ivory. Then there's the Yulin Dog Meat Festival and the terrible torture of dogs that Lisa Vanderpump is fighting to stop. However, for most people, China, a vast country, remains a mystery. Years of communist isolation left so many people unaware of what life was like. Well, here are five short video clips that are an interesting insight and a tiny glimpse into the massive country. Of course, China still remains isolated in many ways, so it's hard to know for sure that these are not doctored vids. Anyway, for light entertainment, enjoy.
Super-speedy waiter service
It seems that in China, the demand for fast-food comes with a different meaning. In this clip, waiters zoom around on roller-skates piled with food for clients in a restaurant.

Convenient train station
Tired of catching a bus to get to the tube, or slogging the pavements? Well, maybe the Chinese have the right idea. Why not just head on up to the sixth floor of your apartment and catch the train from there?
In Chongqing SW #China we don't walk to train, it comes to our homes - a monorail train pass thru the 19-story residential building, w/ a transit stop here apartment residents can just go to the 6th floor to hitch a ride - ingenious way of transportation in heavily populated area pic.twitter.com/hh6tPV0KXO
