Bullet train pulls out of sidewalk
Chinese people don’t just love eating out for the food, but for the special atmosphere a restaurant can provide. So a restaurant owner in Northeast China's Jilin province decided to create a unique restaurant that looks like a bullet train!
A sidewalk restaurant modeled after the locomotive of a bullet train has attracted a lot of public attention since it opened a month ago in Changchun, Jilin province, East Asian Economic and Trade News reported on Tuesday.
The restaurant, "Hexiehao" or "harmony", is the same as the Chinese name for the bullet trains. It is more than six meters long and two meters high, and is made of cement, with railway sleepers and rails on its bottom.
The restaurant belongs to an adjoining hotel, whose name also incorporates the word "harmony". The person in charge, surnamed Ma, revealed that the hotel had invested 100,000 yuan to complete this themed restaurant in several months and it has proved very popular so far.
