Erevator
As you know, I live on the 25th floor of my apartment (which is actually the 21st floor). In western elevators the buttons start at the bottom left and go sequentially to the right, then up. The bottom row will be 1, 2, 3, the the row above it will be 4, 5, 6, and so on. That way the buttons for the top floors of the building are at the top of the array.
Not in China. Here’s the inside of the elevator at my building
