Baixiangju
白象居
A “8D” residential building with 24 floors, reached by footbridges and mountain paths rather than elevators. The Yangtze cable car passes right beside it, making it a popular photo spot.
Baixiangju is a high-rise residential building on Jiefang East Road by the Yangtze in Yuzhong District, completed in the 1990s. Built into the hillside, its lower floors face the river while its upper floors connect to the road above through sky bridges and walkways. As a result, you can reach the 24th floor without an elevator. It appeared in the film *Passing By Your Whole World*. From the connecting walkways between the buildings, you can photograph the Yangtze cable car passing in front of the building. This is still a residential area. Entry is free, but please keep quiet and do not enter residents’ spaces. It is a 5–10 minute walk from Yangtze Cableway North Station or Huguang Guild Hall.
