Crown Escalator

The crown escalator is located at the intersection of two roads, originally a transportation link between the two intersections of the upper half of Chongqing and the lower half of the Caiyuanba. Before the appearance of the crown escalator, people went to and from the Caiyuanba and the two intersections, mainly relying on the two intersection cable car with the mountain city cinema, its location is at the crown escalator, and the mountain city trail next to the construction slope. It is also the first cable car built after the liberation of Chongqing, almost simultaneously with the Chengyu Railway was opened to traffic. With the development of the city and the increase of the urban population, the carrying capacity and travel efficiency of the cable car gradually cannot adapt to the needs of the people's lives, so under the progress of transportation technology, the crown escalator is born as a faster, more convenient and more fashionable transportation. In February 1993, construction began on the Crown Escalator and officially put into use in 1996. With the completion of the Crown Escalator and operation, the two-way cable car exited the historical stage. This second-longest level-up escalator in Asia not only provides convenience for people to travel, but also carries the memories of generations of Chongqing people. The crown escalator is divided into one-way up or one-way down. The one-way fare is 2 yuan. It only takes more than 100 meters to swipe the transportation card. It takes only a few minutes to go up or down. This is known as the mountain city of Chongqing. For everyone, the time to climb the mountain is greatly shortened. The crown escalator has been up and down for more than 20 years, and countless people have shuttled through it to the upper and lower half of Chongqing. At first, the crown escalator was an electric escalator of pure significance, a three-dimensional transportation for citizens and tourists to travel. With Chongqing gradually becoming a popular tourist city, the crown escalator has become more and more popular, becoming a must-check-in Chongqing net red place for citizens and tourists. The characteristics of the crown escalator steep slope, long distance, large gap and visual distance fully reflect the topographic characteristics of Chongqing, and also attract various variety shows, film and television crews to come to shoot first. The crown escalator has thus become a city business card, began to be famous outside, ushered in tourists who came for it. With the broadcast of the fire variety show extreme challenge, the crown escalator has become a net red, and the movie teenagers are hot, and the crown escalator is even more famous. In addition to being a travel tool for locals, more assumes the function of a tourist attraction.

One-way fare is 2 yuan. The crown escalator is the longest (second longest in Asia) sloping escalator in the country, known as the first ladder for climbing mountains in China.

The running speed is0.75 meters per second, the whole running time is 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and the maximum capacity of each unit is 13,500 people per hour. I first came to Chongqing in 1985. After getting off the train at Chongqing Railway Station, I took the cable car to climb to the two intersections. The fare was 2 cents, and it was not cheap in that era. The cable car at that time was the mural in the crown escalator hall, a bit like the tram of that era, two cars, pulled by the cable link, one up, play a role of mutual weight.

Chongqing is a city built by cutting mountains, so the city is three-dimensional and the height of the road is very different. This "Crown Escalator" was made to make it easier to move. It is an escalator that connects Lianglukou Station and Chongqing Station. It is said to be the longest escalator in China, and the length is 112m! When I got on it, the down escalator with the extension 々 was really long and the speed was quite fast, so it was like an attraction! I was a little hyacinth 😅💦

This is a local attraction, a magical mountain town.

Crown Escalator in Chongqing is a some kind of unusual experience there. What can I say else, it is just an escalator but pretty long one.
