Liziba Monorail Through Building

The Liziba Monorail Through Building is a world-famous internet-famous wonder of Chongqing, situated at Liziba Station of Metro Line 2 in Yuzhong District. It features a rare global sight: a monorail running straight through a residential building.

The station and the building were designed and constructed as an integrated complex. The monorail track crosses the building between the 6th and 8th floors. Professional noise reduction and shock absorption technology ensures that residents’ daily lives will not be disturbed by passing trains, fully demonstrating the ingenious mountain-city architectural design that adapts to local terrain.

A free open-air viewing platform is built for visitors, facing the core spot where the monorail passes through the building. It is a viral spot for creative forced-perspective photos. You can capture the magical scene of trains cutting through the building, as well as panoramic shots combining the monorail, residential buildings and the Jialing River.

After visiting, you can take a stroll along Three-Layer Road and Liziba War of Resistance Historical Site Park, and taste authentic Chongqing dishes such as Liangshan Chicken and traditional hotpot. Experience internet-famous landmarks, profound history and local mountain-city flavors all in one trip.
