Top Attractions in Chongqing
Liziba Station
Liziba Station has become one of Chongqing’s most popular internet-famous attractions. Located on Chongqing Rail Transit Line 2, Liziba Station is unique because the monorail passes directly through a 19-story residential building, with the station occupying the sixth to eighth floors.
This innovative design, extending approximately 132 meters through the building, is a rare example of urban transportation integration. Every day, visitors gather here to witness the fascinating scene of a train “passing through” a skyscraper, making it one of Chongqing’s most unforgettable urban experiences.
Yangtze River Cableway
The Yangtze River Cableway is one of Chongqing’s most iconic attractions and is often called the “Air Bus of the Mountain City” and the “First Aerial Corridor over the Yangtze River.”
As one of the city’s most unique transportation experiences, the cable car crosses the Yangtze River and offers breathtaking views of Chongqing’s mountainous landscape. The fully transparent 
windows allow passengers to enjoy panoramic views of the river, bridges, and city skyline.
