About this place

A 24-story brutalist residential complex built without a single elevator, connected entirely by zigzag external walkways. The Yangtze Cableway passes close by, tracing an arc across the sky above the building and forming one of Chongqing's most distinctive pairings of architecture and infrastructure.

Drifter says

"Standing on the walkways and platforms watching the cable car cross the skyline is an experience that captures Chongqing's layered, improbable urbanism better than almost any landmark. The raw texture of the building makes it a natural location for photography — it earns its reputation. People still live here; keep your voice down and your presence respectful."
