[2025 Chongqing Attraction] Travel Guide for Huang Guan Escalator (Updated Jun)

Chongqing is a place with continuous hills, hot and humid in summer and cold and damp in winter. People sweat a lot after eating chili peppers, which makes them feel more refreshed and warms up in winter. Chili peppers are an indispensable seasoning in various local specialties. The first meal should undoubtedly be hot pot. The enthusiasm of the locals is hidden in the hot pot. Be careful not to be smoked by the enthusiasm and cry deeply. If you really like hot pot, it is recommended to buy some hot pot base in the store so that you can continue to enjoy the delicious food after returning home. The spiciness here is different from the spiciness in Hunan and Jiangxi. The spiciness in Chongqing is not strong. Recommended food: spicy hot pot, Chongqing noodles, a yogurt cow, rose ice powder, Bobo chicken, brown sugar glutinous rice cake, local cuisine. The food is cheap and affordable, and the ingredients are fresh. There are many hot pot restaurants downstairs of residential buildings. Many snack shops can be found in Guanyin Bridge and Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, a paradise for street sweepers. Recommended places: Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, Ciqikou, Baixiang Street Scenic Area, Raffles Mall, Crown Escalator

Chongqing is a city built by cutting into mountains, so the city is three-dimensional and the roads have a large difference in elevation. This "Crown Escalator" was built to make it easier to move around. It is an escalator that connects Lianglukou Station and Chongqing Station. It is said to be the longest escalator in China, with a length of 112m! When I got on it, the endless downward escalator was really long and the speed was quite fast, so it was like an attraction! I was a little nervous 😅💦 📍Crown Escalator Platform: Subway "Lianglukou" Station or "Chongqing" Station Opening hours: Summer 6:45-21:45 Winter 6:15-21:45 Food: 2 yuan one way #ChongqingTrip #Chongqing #China #ChinaTrip #Attraction

The Crown Escalator is a large escalator in Chongqing. It connects the two intersections and Chongqing Railway Caiyuanba Station. One of Chongqing's special traffic is the second-largest escalator in Asia. The former Crown Escalator was just a means of transportation, which facilitated the travel of Chongqing people. Now, the Crown Escalator has become a characteristic of Chongqing. It has just come out of the subway station and has not yet stepped out of the subway station. It has seen a few big characters on the two-way crown escalator. This big escalator is perfectly connected with the Chongqing two-way rail transit station. However, the mottled plaques and the worn railings show its sense of time. Later, I realized that this big escalator has been in operation since 1996. Until now, it has a history of more than 20 years, and it is more than ten years ahead of rail transit. Crown Escalator is also a means of transport with Chongqing's traffic characteristics. Imagine that in addition to Chongqing, there are few other places where you can put down this 150 meters long and 64 meters vertically. Sitting on this escalator once, I can really feel the topographical features of the mountain city. On the escalator, I realized that I couldnt see the head at first sight. The escalator extended to the end, and there was a strange visual effect, just like a shuttle. The speed of the escalator is also faster than that of the general escalator. It will feel very high when you look down. It will even make people feel a little scared when they sit. They must be careful when sitting. Only when they enter, someone reminds them to grab the handrail. If you take pictures, you must ensure safety. After all, it is worthwhile to record such a unique escalator.

The Crown Escalator is one of Chongqing's special transportation. It is also the second-largest first-class sloping escalator in Asia, located between the two intersections and the Caiyuanba Railway Station. Take the subway and get off at the two intersections. There is no need to leave the station. The escalator is 2 yuan one way. There are people selling tickets up and down, and the locals have used the card to get used to it, just like taking a bus. In the eyes of Chongqing people, the escalator is also a means of transportation, and in my eyes, the escalator can also be an attraction. Let my sister walk in front and take time to take pictures. Although the elevator facilities are relatively old, it was a proud means of transportation many years ago. The speed of the elevator is much faster than that of the general escalator. The length of the escalator is 112 meters, the vertical height is 64 meters, and the angle of inclination is 30 degrees. It is very visually stimulating. hasn't waited for the reaction to come to the end, and the heart is unwilling to buy another ticket experience. Traffic: Take Metro Line 1 and get off at the two intersections without going out.

Chongqing's landmark super-long elevator, the subway is sitting at the No. 4 mouth of the two intersections, and it takes 2 yuan to sit once. In fact, the elevator is so long, it should be a little scary, but because there are more people on the elevator, it blocks the line of sight, so it does not feel its scary. Chongqing subway station is full of yellow and yellow gray, so this elevator is old and very old. But just sit and play and take a photo, it is also a popular landmark!
