About this place

The world-famous transit stop where the monorail passes directly through a 19-story residential building — the single most recognizable image of Chongqing's 8D urban landscape.

Drifter says

"The viewing platform across the street gives you the cleanest angle of the train passing through the building, but standing there is a limited experience — heavy crowds, awkward access, and the visual impact lasts only seconds. What's actually worth doing is boarding at Niujiaotuo and riding through yourself. Experiencing that curve from inside the train, knowing you're passing through someone's building, is a completely different thing from watching it happen from the outside."
