About this place

Also known as the aerial corridor, this cable car has been crossing 1,166 meters of the Yangtze River since 1987 — four and a half minutes between the commercial density of Yuzhong Peninsula on one side and the quieter character of Nan'an District on the other.

Drifter says

"Book tickets in advance and travel off-peak; on busy days the queue runs to hours. The view through the slightly scratched old windows is irreplaceable — you're not looking down at the city from above, you're suspended in the middle of it, with the river and both banks moving slowly past. That's a perspective no observation deck can replicate."
