About this place
Named after the copper coin mint established here in 1905, later renamed the Changjiang Electric Factory (Factory 507) — a vast military-industrial enterprise whose workers' residential quarters survive as a living record of twentieth-century Chinese industrial housing.
Drifter says
"The viral Sujiaba Interchange actually spans directly over the ruins of this century-old weapons factory. Walk down from the monorail station and find the extreme Z-shaped staircase pressed tight against the cliff face — the daily commute route for tens of thousands of factory workers, a pure test of physical endurance. This is a living museum of twentieth-century Chinese industrial community life that modern travel guides have completely ignored, which is exactly why it's worth finding."
