山城重慶因迷宫般的地形,魔幻的建筑道路,被称为“8D魔幻城市”。奇特的交通工具,带着游客多角度地欣赏城市特色,主城内区有轨道、索道、轮渡、皇冠大扶梯,长寿区有“三道拐”缆车,三峡有各型游船等,为这个城市不断输入活力,“立体交通”让游客全方位领略巴渝美景。

重庆是中国最大的山城,这座拥有3200多万人口的直辖市,是一座需要细细解读和品味的城市。主城区修建在层叠的山峦上,长江和嘉陵江穿城东去,将城区分隔成不同的区域。

“中国最复杂立交桥”的黄桷湾立交桥,720°旋转的融侨半岛立交桥,“三层马路”“屋顶马路”“转转路”“拐弯天桥”……高低起伏的地貌特征造就了重庆独特的交通环境,也催生出奇幻的交通工具:横跨江面的空中索道、亚洲第二长的皇冠大扶梯、穿越城市腹心与森林的轨道、横渡两江的渡船、串联上下城的凯旋路电梯……五花八门的交通工具烙着“重庆专属”的城市符号。游在重庆,如畅游在巨大的游乐园,探索城中各种惊喜。

穿梭在纵横交错的高架桥和隧洞之间的城市轨道交通,游客乘坐其中,白天可观赏起伏的山城地势和江水薄雾,夜晚可欣赏沿江两岸的灯火璀璨。仿佛乘坐刺激的过山车,飞跃丛林、穿楼而过,城市风光随之展开。重庆轨道交通的触角在城市间不断延伸,线路已从1条发展到9条,每一条线路都有不一样的风景。李子坝车站“轻轨穿楼”是最受游客青睐的“网红”景点之一,附近每天挤满了全世界的游客,专程为一睹这一奇特之景。

已运行30多年的长江索道,对于当地人来说是难以忘记的情怀,对游客而言,却是另外一种不可思议的旅途体验。作为中国唯一的文物索道,长江索道承载着历史文化,见证过城市日新月异,是都市旅游的地标性文化旅游景点。游客在空中走廊“飞越山城,鸟瞰重庆”,穿梭高楼大厦之间,飞渡宽阔大江之上,行游山水都市之巅,已然是天际线一道独特的风景线。

轮渡,曾是多少重庆人心头的一抹回忆。近年来,随着江上大桥越建越多,轮渡从停运到渐渐变成了游客观光的工具。朝天门至弹子石、大竹林至朝天门两条航线在2019年初重新开通时就曾引发了一波热烈的“怀旧游”。

亚洲地区第二长的坡地电梯皇冠大扶梯,连接了两路口交通要道和菜园坝火车站,那一眼望不到头的长度和令人惊叹的坡度,让乘坐这上上下下的交通工具变成游客又一次奇特的经历。

主城区以外,依山而建的长寿“三道拐”缆车与曾经的渝中区望龙门缆车一样,靠缆绳上下运行,穿行于江边,交汇于山腰。作为国内轨道最长、坡度最陡的地面客运缆车,“三道拐”缆车如今依然慢慢悠悠地行进着,吸引着众多游客前往找寻曾经的乡愁。

巫山神女峰景区落差222米的悬崖垂直观光电梯,是亚洲最高的户外电梯。随梯而上,长江以及北岸众山峰的风景一览无余,视觉感观极度震撼。

游长江三峡,乘坐游船观雄伟、壮观的“山水画廊”,是打开重庆另一面的不二选择。

| 未来“立体交通”更魔幻 |

各种“水陆空”的交通工具组成了山城重庆的立体交通体系,“魔幻立体交通”更得益于重庆人不断突破地形条件限制创造的智慧与勤劳。

如今,这些交通工具还在提档升级。2019年底,长江索道轿厢换新颜,外观上还原了1987年版第一代轿厢的模样,更具历史感。轿厢内,玻璃通透,视野更广阔;皇冠大扶梯将针对扶梯运行的空间区域进行改造,通道、墙面、顶棚等将融入巴渝文化,届时皇冠扶梯会以一个全新样貌示人。

新的赏景平台还在建设中。2019年9月24日,江北区举行2019年下半年重点项目集中开工仪式,其中包括给朝天门长江大桥加装垂直升降梯,这是“桥都”重庆从未有过的创新之举。电梯加装在朝天门大桥的南北两端,既方便两岸市民出行,又方便游客赏景。电梯安装完毕后,波光粼粼的江面,鳞次栉比的城市建筑,桥上桥下美景连成一片。游在魔幻重庆,定会不虚此行。

The mountain city of Chongqing is known as the "8D Magical City" because of its labyrinth-like terrain and three-dimensional roads.  Different means of transport enables tourists to appreciate the characteristics of the city from various angles. Monorails, cableways, ferries, the Huangguan Escalator, the cable car in Changshou District, the cruise ships on the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River among others constitute the city's "three-dimensional transportation system" and offer access to Chongqings breathtaking scenery in all directions.

Chongqing, a municipality directly under the central government with a population of more than 32 million, is a city worthy of laidback visits. High-rise buildings are built on top of layers of mountains, and the Yangtze River and Jialing River go east through the city, dividing it into different clusters.

Having "the most intricate flyover in China", Huangjuewan flyover, the 720-degree rotating Rongqiaobandao flyover, the "three-story road", "rooftop road", "spinning road" and "zigzag overpass"…. the undulating landscape of Chongqing have created its unique transport environment and given birth to extraordinary means of transportation: the cableway across the river, the second-longest escalator in Asia-Huangguan Escalator, the monorails passing through the city, the ferries on the two rivers, and the elevator on Kaixuan Road which climbs up the "city of ladders", all of which bear the tag of "Chongqing exclusive". Traveling in Chongqing is like playing in a huge amusement park. All kinds of surprises await your exploration.

| Magical Transport Takes You to the Most Arresting View |

Taking the urban rail transit shuttling between the crisscross viaducts and tunnels, visitors can enjoy the undulating city landscape and river mist during the day, and the bright lights on both sides of the rivers at night. It is like riding a giant roller coaster. The cityscape unfolds as you travel over the trees and go through the buildings. As the rail transit system continues to expand, the number of lines has developed from one to nine, each with distinctive scenery of its own. Among them, "light rail passing through the residential building" is one of the most popular celebrity attractions for tourists. You can find people from different parts of the country come to appreciate this marvelous sight at Liziba Station every day.

The Yangtze River Cableway, having operated for more than three decades, represents unforgettable sentiments for the locals, and incredible traveling experience for tourists. As the only heritage cableway in China, the Yangtze River Cableway carries both history and culture, and has witnessed the daily changes of the city. It is now a landmark of Chongqings culture and tourism, offering riders a panoramic view of the city. Traveling in Chongqing, as you pass through the building, travel across the river and move on top of the buildings or mountains, you have already fitted yourself into the skyline of Chongqing.

The ferries, being a cherished memory of the old generations of Chongqing, has been developed into more of a sightseeing vehicle than a commuting tool as the bridges over the rivers continue to multiply.

The Huangguan Escalator, second-longest slope escalator in Asia, connects Caiyuanba Railway Station and Lianglukou. It stands on steep slope with a length that one can hardly see the end. Originally planed as a transport for locals to go between the two places, it has become also a special attraction for tourists.
