Monorail Line 2, a scenic route across Chongqing, have you experienced it?

Chongqing’s first rail transit line, Monorail Line 2, was officially opened for operation. It shuttles through the city, facilitates people's travel, and has become a scenic line across Chongqing.

You may have never been to Chongqing, but the possibility that you have never heard of "monorail through buildings" is extremely slim. On the occasion of the Double Festival in Chongqing, let us sit on the monorail Line 2 and enjoy the beautiful mountain city easily.

Monorail Line 2 has 24 stations along the way, with beautiful natural scenery and dignified urban scenery. The Chongqing you have heard about may be vague, but by taking Monorail Line 2, you can get clear.

1. Jiaochangkou

Exiting the station from here, it is very convenient to reach the Yangtze River Cableway and Huishi City Snack Street. The 18th Staircase under renovation can also be reached on foot from here. Zhongxing The flea market can still be reached from here.

Walk along Zhongxing Road, next to the Yuzhong District Court, there is a very Chongqing alley - Shancheng Alley.

Night Tour in Shancheng Alley

To integrate into the daily life of Chongqing people and experience the authentic Shancheng wells, taking a leisurely stroll in Shancheng Alley is the best way.

The history here can be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Back then, French missionaries lit lamps here to illuminate the future for travelers returning home at night. Residents around the area followed suit. At night, the alleys were filled with thousands of lights, shining like stars. Therefore, this place was originally called "Tian Deng Street".

Shancheng Alley embodies the history of old Chongqing. There are Houlu that witnessed the events of the Anti-Japanese War, traditional southern residential courtyards and courtyards, the Golden Horse Xiaoxue next to the temple, the cliff-side plank road, and the ancient Ming and Qing stone gates; there are also lifelike graffiti art, and the atmosphere is full of life. statue. The story of Chongqing will quietly enter your heart while walking.

2. Linjiangmen

After walking out of Linjiangmen Station, you can check out the famous Liberation Monument, and the Cathay Arts Center with its unique appearance is also nearby. Bayi Road Food Street can even soothe your stomach.

Liberation Monument

The Liberation Monument, located in the center of Cross Golden Street, is the only monument in the country commemorating the people's liberation and the only monument in China commemorating the victory of the Chinese nation in the Anti-Japanese War.

It is located in the center of Jiefangbei Cross Golden Street.

One fact must be stated here: Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, one of the first five "demonstration pedestrian streets" in the country, ranked first in the comparison of passenger flow and turnover in the first half of 2020. .

3. Zengjiayan

Walking out of the long underground passage of Zengjiayan Station is like traveling through a time tunnel.

Going up to the ground through different exits, you can go to Zhongshan 4th Road, "the most beautiful street in Chongqing", and walk through the wall made of yellow jujube roots as lonely as Zhou Dongyu. The Three Gorges Museum and the Great Hall of the People are both at this node.

Chongqing’s Great Hall of the People

Chongqing’s Great Hall of the People can be said to be a perfect masterpiece combining Chinese and Western styles. Its appearance is in the style of a traditional ancient Chinese palace, while its interior is a Western-style large-span structure. That kind of calmness and dignity can only be understood in detail by visiting and admiring it in person.

The Three Gorges Museum is a comprehensive national first-level museum integrating "Bayu culture, Three Gorges culture, United Front culture, rear area anti-war culture and immigration culture". There are 10 permanent exhibitions including the Magnificent Three Gorges, Far-reaching Bayu and Chongqing City Road. Recently, a series of South American cultural exhibitions "Enter the El Dorado" is also being held.

4. Liziba

Liziba is famous for its "monorail through the building", but it is definitely more than just "seeing through the building".

Right next to the viewing platform is the Liziba Anti-Japanese War Heritage Park. Move a few steps from the platform towards Shapingba, then step onto the three-story road. Walk along the road to see the former residence of General Stilwell. , Flying Tigers Museum all tell the story of the past on the roadside.

The filming location of "Passing Through Your World" will appear on the roadside from time to time. The winding road leads to the east gate of Fotuguan Park, in front of which is Eling Erchang and Eling Park.

Although everyone is familiar with monorail crossing buildings, I will introduce it a little bit.

Liziba Observation Platform

To see the monorail passing through the building, exit from Exit A and cross the road to the observation platform. Whether you shoot the monorail on the platform or "swallow" the monorail, it's up to you.

During holidays, Liziba Station is crowded with people, so everyone must pay attention to safety.

5. Fotuguan

The exit from Fotuguan Station is not Fotuguan Park. Friends who want to go to the park must know this.

As a local, even though I have played in the park many times, I can’t tell the specific scope of the park. I only know that the entrance to Fotuguan Park in the traditional sense is on Zhongshan 3rd Road, opposite to a garrison unit in Chongqing.

Fotuguan Park

After exiting Fotuguan Station, walk along the three-story road. If there is a ladder on the left, just climb up. If you are not careful, you will enter When you enter the park, let the trails lead you along, and the detachment of "living in the mountains in the city" gradually takes over your mind.

Fotuguan is very historical. You can relax and walk among the green woods. There are stone carvings, Buddhist caves, Buddha statues, merit monuments, etc. along the way. Stories from various dynasties are flocking here, making people unable to stop. This National Day holiday, if you are visiting the past and present in Fotuguan Park, please be sure to miss the poet Li Shangyin and the song "Night Rain Sends to the North" that moved the years.

You asked about the return date but it has not yet been announced. The night rain in Bashan swelled the autumn pond. How can I cut off the candles from the west window and talk about the rainy night in Bashan?

6. Zoo

Chongqing Zoo, I always call it Xijiao Zoo. It is a living fossil of old Chongqing people’s childhood memories.

The zoo is located in a shallow hill, with rolling hills, winding shallow ravines, green mountains and horizontal lakes, and the natural scenery is fresh and beautiful.

The park has luxuriant ancient and famous trees, a wide variety of plants, and a green coverage rate of more than 80%.

Zoo Gate

I haven’t been to a zoo for a long time, but the scene of watching lions and tigers, elephants and giraffes, and waiting for giant pandas and red pandas to come out and move around is always there. Inadvertently appearing before our eyes, it takes people back to their childhood.

Let me formally introduce this real place in my memory. It is a national key park, a national science education base, and a key wildlife ex-situ conservation center in the western part of the country...

Generally speaking, Line 2 ends here, but it actually goes all the way to Banan Fish hole. Seeing this, friends who like Xiao Zhan may be excited, because at the end of Line 2, there is Xiao Zhan’s home.

The tourism resources there are rich and colorful. I can name a lot of them casually without looking through the information, such as Fengsheng Ancient Town, Yunzhuan Mountain, Dongquan Hot Spring, etc.

Chongqing is ready, are you ready?
