Passengers traveling through Yingbin Road Station on the subway in Changsha, Hunan province, can now manage their stress at a novel emotion transition center. They can dismantle emotional burdens and rediscover joy by hugging plush toys, pressing different mood buttons, or hitting a punching wall.

The center includes a mood wall with buttons labeled as emotions, like "Happy", "Awkward", and "Unhappy". Passersby can tap these buttons to express their current mood. The "Super Happy" button is so far a runaway favorite, having been tapped more than 660,000 times, followed by "Loving" with 2,200, "Pleased" with 1,800, and "Unhappy" with 1,600.

If commuters are looking for something more tactile, there are plush toys they can hug and take pictures with to relieve stress.
