The train that runs through a building

Liziba Station is famous worldwide for one thing: the Chongqing Rail Transit line passes straight through a residential building, with the station tucked inside. A purpose-built viewing platform below gives a clear, free look as trains slide in and out.

Watch from the free viewing platform

Stand on the riverside platform and wait a few minutes — trains arrive every few minutes and the whole thing takes seconds, so have your camera ready. It is a quick, fun stop rather than a long visit.

Combine it with Fotuguan and Eling

Because the station is small, pair it with nearby stops: Fotuguan Park for riverside and city views, and Eling Second Factory, a converted industrial site full of art spaces and cafes that is popular for photos.

  • Trains pass every few minutes

Taken together, these stops make an easy half-day out.
