Can't agree, save for the nice flight attendants.
I flew about ten times in China this summer -- with China Eastern, Air China, and GX -- FAs were by far the only highlight. Besides landing....
And there's still that no headphone rule for takeoffs and landings ... ehh, just lower your cranium so they won't notice.

I'm pretty much stuck with MU on my other flights within China, though. They are better than FM (which they own), HO, and 9C. CA works for Beijing, and CZ works for Guangdong, but I don't find either to be better than MU.

Let's eat.
When I first stayed at the IFC shortly after it opened over 10 years ago, the mall looked like a copy and paste from Hong Kong, with the same restaurants and all. I returned this time trying out some delicious local cuisine at very reasonable prices in international standards.
I also tried a famous shop that specializes in crab meat mixed with noodles, and I threw in a side of abalone as well as if it's not high class enough.
