Liziba Station
The subway passes through the 8th floor of the residential building.
Liziba Station is the first monorail station in China built alongside a mixed-use residential and commercial building. Construction began in 2000, and it was completed in March 2004. The station cleverly passes through a 20-story residential building. It occupies the 6th to 8th floors, with shops below and residences above. This design is not only a first in China but also quite rare worldwide. The design team overcame many technical challenges to ensure the monorail operates normally without affecting the safety and daily life of residents. This unique design showcases innovative thinking in urban development and adds a distinct mark to Chongqing.
Tourists love to stand below, cameras and phones ready, waiting for the moment the train passes through the building. To enhance the viewing experience, a “Liziba Viewing Platform” was built across from the station. Here, visitors can capture this wonder from every angle, enjoying a 360° view.
