Often you hear of trade delegations coming to China and experiencing the city. Usually its through the window of a bus or van whilst they run from airport to city and around the city going to meetings. So its refreshing to see Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi taking the time to go and travel on subways and not just do the touristy photo-ops. Of course, the Nenshi took the time for photo-ops who can blame him but he went the extra mile taking the time to travel with residents and see the city from a citizens perspective. Watch the video below for Naheed Nenshi trip around China.
