The world's most surreal transit moment — a metro line through a residential tower
Liziba Station on Chongqing's Light Rail Line 2 is one of the world's most extraordinary pieces of urban infrastructure — the light rail track passes directly through the middle floors (6th-8th) of a 19-story residential apartment building. The residents above and below live normally, while trains pass through their building every few minutes. This has become one of Chongqing's most-visited attractions, filmed by millions of visitors.
