Review of China Eastern flight from Hangzhou to Beijing in Economy

Hello everyone and today I'm bringing the second part of my tri-city trip.
Part1: CAN-HGH MU5212 China Eastern A320 http://flight-report.com/en/report-8787.html
Part2: HGH-PEK MU5167 China Eastern A321 [THIS REPORT]
Part3: PEK-CAN CA1315 Air China B748 http://flight-report.com/en/report-8859.html
The two-week training in Hangzhou came to an end and it's time for Beijing.
This is my first departure in HGH, which was extended and revamped in 2012.
The airport is 35km from the place I stay. At 9am I took a taxi for airport and within 30 minutes I arrived at the departure hall.
The ceiling in the HGH new check-in hall is similar to the new SZX T4, both with lots of holes. Even though the hall was still rather dark.

It took me 15 minutes to go through the security. When I got to the gate I immediately found something bad:

Luckily it was only estimated for 45 minutes delay. When I checked on flightradar24 for the flight history I've found that the flight got delayed for more three hours twice in a week…..
Though, not a really bad thing for me as I wasn't in a hurry. So I explored the airside of HGH Area B.
The shop and catering variety in HGH is fine, though the prices were just typical airport prices. The only exception might be Starbucks so I ordered a cup of Toffee Nut Latte.
Unlike PEK, SHA, PVG and CAN, you can hardly find a widebody in HGH, therefore the CI A333 was a rarity here.

While waiting I used the airport free wireless and it worked well even on video streaming. So I watched a NBA match, Cavaliers at Thunder.
Our aircraft, a 6.7 years old A321, had finally arrived at the gate.

The Classic Shot(I really don't know why..)

Once aboard I found something in Business Class that might not belong to this aircraft, or this company, or this alliance: Skyward, the JAL inflight magazine was put in the pocket of business class seats. Strangely it wasn't offered in Economy seats so I called a flight attendant to fetch me a copy. She was confused at first until I pointed it out in various(3 or 4) magazines..

There are rumors that MU may leave Skyteam to join Oneworld. Plus MU and JL are codeshared partners in Sino-Japan routes. There must be a reason for everything……
Reading it is really fun as I've never taken a flight operated by JAL or any other oneworld member. About one fourth of the mag was English material, mostly about the Japanese tourism, food, and culture.
The seat was identical to the previous flight. The legroom was adequate for me(1.75m) but the lack of headrest made my neck uncomfortable.
The wheels were off almost an hour behind the schedule and soon the meal service began. Surprisingly there was only one option available. That's really disappointing though the only choice was tasty.

The weather in Beijing when we were approaching was surprisingly good and clear, the CBD in Chaoyang District was clearly visible on final approaching. This was due to the strong wind coming from the North had blown the haze away so the approach was bumpy.
We bypassed two MU A330s on taxiing.

Then two CZ A330s. China is really the land of A330s, as all 4 major carriers own bunches of A330.

We arrived in PEK T2, the Skyteam hub. Though not big nor new as the T3, the T2 is convenient for travelers since you don't need to walk that much like T3.
And that's it. Thanks for your reading!
