Chongqing | Liziba Monorail Through Building, Xiaohuanglou Air-Raid Shelter Afternoon Tea

| Liziba Monorail Through Building, Xiaohuanglou Air-Raid Shelter Afternoon Tea. 🚊 Liziba Monorail Station is a busy station. Due to Chongqing's unique terrain, Line 2 needs to pass through a commercial-residential building. This is the first monorail elevated station in China that coexists with a commercial-residential building. The 1st to 5th floors are shops, the 6th to 8th floors are the rail transit area, and the 9th to 19th floors are residences. Because of the unique sight of the monorail 'passing through the building in mid-air,' Liziba Monorail Station has become a new 'internet-famous station' and has gone viral online. It has even become a must-visit spot for many tourists traveling to Chongqing. Line 2 is also the most suitable route for sightseeing. Friends who come to check in can also take Line 2 to personally experience the train passing through buildings, going up and down, through tunnels and over bridges, which is more thrilling than riding a roller coaster. Many friends are curious while checking in, wondering whether the station or the building came first. According to construction engineers, the monorail station and the building were designed and built simultaneously. To facilitate friends who come to check in, the local government has specially built a viewing platform. Friends visiting Chongqing might as well find some time to experience it. 🎫 Ticket Information: Free 🕙 Opening Hours: 07:00-23:00 🅿️ Tour Time: About 30 minutes 🚄 Transportation: Get off at Liziba Station on Line 2 / Exit 1 📍 Address: No. 62, Liziba Zheng Street 🏠 Xiaohuanglou was formerly the most historic ancient building in Chongqing, named 'Juelu.' It is a three-story brick-wood structure building from the 1930s, which used to be the residence of the staff of the US Army Command in China during the Anti-Japanese War. With the passage of time, it has been restored to its original appearance in recent years and has become the 'Xiaohuanglou' we see today. The yellow exterior wall with swallow mud texture, the green tile roof, and the round architectural shape reflect the architectural technology and style of the 1930s. It is a blend of modern art and traditional architecture, gathering Western cuisine, Southeast Asian cuisine, and desserts in one place. Walking through the historic building, you can experience multiple taste sensations and the interaction of the soul with history. Under the illumination of taxis and Xiaohuanglou outside the store, it looks particularly bright, and any casual shot can be a great photo. Opposite Xiaohuanglou, there are some air-raid shelters. Out of curiosity, you can go inside and find that it is actually a store. It is very cool inside during the hot summer, and you can order a drink and stay quietly for a while. There are multiple forks in the cave, one of which leads to Xiaohuanglou. 🎫 Ticket Information: Free 🕙 Opening Hours: 07:00-23:00 🅿️ Tour Time: 2-3 hours 🚄 Transportation: Walk 2 minutes forward from the viewing platform 📍 Address: No. 58, Liziba Zheng Street
