Review of China Southern flight Changsha → Tianjin in Premium Eco

CHINESE CRH BUSINESS CLASS

On my way to Changsha from Tianmen mountain in Zhangjiajie, I experienced CRH's lie flat business class

Here's my seat for the next 101 minutes

CHINA SOUTHERN AIRBUS A320 domestic premium ECONOMY

Hello and welcome to my trip-report on China Southern's domestic premium economy review!
Today I will be flying two segments, from Changsha (CSX) to Tianjin (TSN), and then to Harbin (HRB)

FIDS

Sorry for the bad pictures that you're about to witness…
I was sick at the time of travel and I forgot to bring DayQuil with me…

Dedicated premium economy check-in line at Changsha (CSX)
Check-in was fast as expected 

Security took around 5 minutes. Everyone received a full-body pat down

Xiamen Air Boeing B737-800

HNA group aircrafts…

Here's my aircraft today B-6253, a 13 years old Airbus A320
PS I hate that light pole… 

The gate agent announced that the flight was delayed indefinitely…
However, 5 minutes later, she started boarding everyone.
First class and Premium economy priority boarding wasn't respected this time, but I was able to cut the economy boarding queue.

The meal wasn't served in a tray, but rather just handed off to passengers like in economy 

Main Course

Refreshment box
Yogurt 
Pickles
UNHEATED Bread roll wrapped in plastic 
The meal was just mediocre economy class food for a 2 hours flight. 6/10

Cabin shot

Even in premium economy, there wasn't any sort of in-flight entertainment onboard this flight, which is quite unacceptable. 
Entertainment 0/10 

Almost there

Someone's in a hurry…
