Today, I’d like to introduce one of the world’s most unique subway stations: Liziba Station. Located not far from the scenic “Eling Park” in Chongqing, this monorail station was designed to overcome the city’s mountainous terrain. Its extraordinary architecture and location offer visitors a truly unique experience.
Liziba Station is part of Chongqing’s Metro Line 2, and what makes it so special is that the train passes directly through a residential building. Specifically, it runs between the 6th and 8th floors of the building. While this unique feature has made it incredibly popular among tourists, it is also an excellent example of efficiently utilizing limited urban space. Interestingly, soundproofing systems have been installed to ensure that residents are not disturbed, making it both a functional urban design and a top tourist attraction.
The sight of a train passing through the building is extremely impressive. Outside the station, many tourists gather to take photos and videos of this unique moment. With the right timing, you can capture some really fun and creative shots!
Personally, I recommend starting your journey at Daping Station, the stop just before Liziba Station. This way, you can experience the thrill of riding the train as it enters the building. After arriving at Liziba Station, step outside to watch and photograph the next train as it passes through the building. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience you won’t want to miss!
