China Eastern Airlines today took delivery of its first Next-Generation 737-700 outfitted with both the High-Altitude/High-Temperature Airport Operations Feature Package and the new Boeing Sky Interior from Boeing.
China Eastern will operate the aircraft at the high altitude airports in western China. The airplane will be assigned to China Eastern Airlines Sichuan Co., Ltd. based in Chengdu.
A new engine thrust rating provides the 737-700 additional payload capability at high altitude airports and hot conditions. The package also includes an extended duration oxygen system and equipment to utilize the enhanced enroute navigation requirements to and from high-altitude airports.
The Boeing Sky Interior introduces new lighting and curving architecture that create a distinctive entry way. Passengers enjoy a greater sense of spaciousness in the cabin in an environment simulated by light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. The new interior also features decorative sculpted sidewalls, newly improved and expanded pivot stowage bins.

To lavenderwjj, what you aforementioned is very true, I tend to make every effort in avoiding Boeing 737 jets nowadays as even A320s tend to be much more comfortable...
When you board the MH 738 with the new interior it is very nice. The entertainment screen is good also. The big issue is seat pitch and comfort, it is terrible. It also makes the aisle seem tighter as people tend to put their feet in aisle to stretch. The interior may be better, but I am more concerned about my own comfort. MU may have better seats/pitch?
