Yangtze Cableway

Yangtze Cableway Title: Yangtze Cableway — Chongqing's Aerial Bus Since 1987 Meta: A 1,166-metre cable car crossing the Yangtze, built as public transport in 1987 and now the city's favourite moving viewpoint. Which side to board, when queues die. Definition: The Yangtze Cableway is a 1,166-metre aerial tramway across the Yangtze River between Yuzhong and Nan'an districts, opened in 1987 as part of the city's public transport for cliff-divided neighbourhoods. Locals called it the "aerial bus"; it remains a working crossing and the classic way to read the two-river city. Facts: Route: Xinhua Road (Yuzhong) ↔ Shangxin Street (Nan'an) · Length: 1,166 m · Opened: 1987 · Ride: about 5 min each way · Queue tip: board from the Nan'an side, off-peak. Visit well: Ride one way, then look back from the south bank — the return view of Yuzhong's stacked skyline is the better photograph. In thunderstorms the line pauses; a local guide re-times rather than cancels. See it on: City day tour Chongqing City Day Tour · Transport guide Getting Around
