Huangguan Escalator
皇冠大扶梯
An extra-long escalator linking Liangloukou and Caiyuanba Railway Station, about 112 meters long in a single run. Once the second longest escalator in Asia, it is a landmark of Chongqing's vertical transit.
The Huangguan Escalator is located in Liangloukou, Yuzhong District, and opened in 1996. It rises about 52 meters over a length of about 112 meters, and one ride takes about 2.5 minutes. Its steep incline and quick pace make it impressive, and the view looking down from the top is spectacular. It is a must-do for experiencing Chongqing's “mountain city transit.” The fare is about RMB 2, and you can pay with a Chongqing transit card. The top connects to Liangloukou stations on Metro Line 1 and Line 3, and the bottom leads to Caiyuanba. Expect queues at peak times, and stand firmly and hold the handrail on the escalator.
