About this place
One of Asia's longest and steepest single-slope escalators, descending more than 50 meters underground to connect two different levels of the city — with a flat street exit waiting at the bottom.
Drifter says
"Two yuan, two minutes, and you've crossed from the upper city to the lower city without a single stair. This is not a ride — it's infrastructure, used daily by the people who live here. Standing on it and watching the city's surface recede above you is the most physical way to understand what Chongqing's 8D terrain actually feels like. Stand on the right; locals who are actually commuting will pass you on the left."
