Before the advent of digital payment and IC cards, buying paper bus tickets was the norm for Beijing commuters. With great nostalgia felt by many of the city's residents, these obsolete items have now become precious collectibles. Beijing native Ma Tengteng, for one, has a collection of over 100,000 tickets. Those who view it can enjoy a tour through the history of public transport in the Chinese capital.
