Shanghai New Year; A Quiet Return 

I return from Jinshan at the end of Chinese New Year 2024, and it's surprisingly quiet.
Jinshan Railway (Chinese: 金山铁路; pinyin: Jīnshān Tiělù) or Jinshan Line is a commuter railway line in Shanghai, part of the planned Shanghai Metropolitan Area Intercity Railway. It runs from Shanghai South in Xuhui District via Xinzhuang in Minhang District to Jinshanwei in Jinshan District, crossing the Huangpu River on a dedicated railway bridge. Passengers can transfer to Lines 1, 3, 5 and 15. Originally built in 1975 as a suburban branch, it has since been upgraded into a high-speed commuter rail line which opened on 28 September 2012. The line was branded as Line 22 before opening. However, there is another line in long-term planning called Line 22, see Line 22 (Shanghai Metro).
It is the first line to provide "high speed" commuter rail services, with trains travelling up to 160 km/h (99 mph), compared to 30-70 km/h (19-43 mph) for regular metro service, shortening the 56.4 km (35.0 mi) between Jinshan and downtown to 32 minutes travel time for express trains which make no stops, and 60 minutes for other trains, which stop at all stations on the line. The Shanghai-Jinshan line is the first local rail system that supports the public transportation card.
