About this place

The transfer station for Metro Lines 6 and 10, where the Line 10 platform sits 94.467 meters underground — equivalent to 31 stories — with 91 escalators throughout the station forming one of the most extreme underground engineering achievements in Chinese transit infrastructure.

Drifter says

"A standard metro ticket is all it costs. From the deepest Line 10 platform to the surface requires approximately 6 consecutive escalator rides taking 5 to 7 minutes. Stand at the bottom and look up — the escalators disappear into a point of light far above. Avoid morning and evening rush hours for the best experience. This is Chongqing's answer to impossible terrain expressed in pure engineering."
