Train fan takes the online route

BEIJING - David Feng is not a train worker nor a frequent business traveler. However, in the first five months of 2018, he made 166 train journeys, traveling 53,000 kilometers across China.

The Chinese-Swiss train aficionado has become an online celebrity for his livestreaming of Chinese railway lines, stations and trains of various kinds.

Over the past decade, Feng has visited over 2,300 Chinese railway stations out of the more than 3,000 spread across the country. And he is now making a documentary called Next Station: China, where he plans to capture more than 2,200 stations around the country.
