Nico and Jack visit a new sky train in Wuhan that has a glass-bottom viewing area and drives itself. They describe people gathering at the station to watch and take photos, then prepare to ride. At the station they are told that they can get off and get back on with their ticket, so they should keep it safe because losing or tearing it means paying again. On board, they see through the glass floor and notice a staff member supervising the driverless service. Jack says the ride initially makes him nervous but he relaxes. The seats face outward for views. The hosts say the train reaches up to 60 kilometres per hour and that the end of the line has a nature spot and local barbecue stands and places to get a drink. They ride back later, when the station and train are busier and adults are standing on the glass viewing area. Jack says he can feel bumps and vibrations through the floor and finds it unsettling, while filming distracts him. They finish by describing the ride as a striking experience and asking viewers for ideas for other unusual places in China.
