山城重慶因迷宮般的地形,魔幻的建筑道路,被稱為“8D魔幻城市”。奇特的交通工具,帶著游客多角度地欣賞城市特色,主城內(nèi)區(qū)有軌道、索道、輪渡、皇冠大扶梯,長壽區(qū)有“三道拐”纜車,三峽有各型游船等,為這個城市不斷輸入活力,“立體交通”讓游客全方位領(lǐng)略巴渝美景。
| 獨特地形造就天然游樂園 |
重慶是中國最大的山城,這座擁有3200多萬人口的直轄市,是一座需要細細解讀和品味的城市。主城區(qū)修建在層疊的山巒上,長江和嘉陵江穿城東去,將城區(qū)分隔成不同的區(qū)域。
“中國最復(fù)雜立交橋”的黃桷灣立交橋,720°旋轉(zhuǎn)的融僑半島立交橋,“三層馬路”“屋頂馬路”“轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)路”“拐彎天橋”……高低起伏的地貌特征造就了重慶獨特的交通環(huán)境,也催生出奇幻的交通工具:橫跨江面的空中索道、亞洲第二長的皇冠大扶梯、穿越城市腹心與森林的軌道、橫渡兩江的渡船、串聯(lián)上下城的凱旋路電梯……五花八門的交通工具烙著“重慶專屬”的城市符號。游在重慶,如暢游在巨大的游樂園,探索城中各種驚喜。
| 魔幻交通帶你看最美風(fēng)景 |
穿梭在縱橫交錯的高架橋和隧洞之間的城市軌道交通,游客乘坐其中,白天可觀賞起伏的山城地勢和江水薄霧,夜晚可欣賞沿江兩岸的燈火璀璨。仿佛乘坐刺激的過山車,飛躍叢林、穿樓而過,城市風(fēng)光隨之展開。重慶軌道交通的觸角在城市間不斷延伸,線路已從1條發(fā)展到9條,每一條線路都有不一樣的風(fēng)景。李子壩車站“輕軌穿樓”是最受游客青睞的“網(wǎng)紅”景點之一,附近每天擠滿了全世界的游客,專程為一睹這一奇特之景。
已運行30多年的長江索道,對于當(dāng)?shù)厝藖碚f是難以忘記的情懷,對游客而言,卻是另外一種不可思議的旅途體驗。作為中國唯一的文物索道,長江索道承載著歷史文化,見證過城市日新月異,是都市旅游的地標(biāo)性文化旅游景點。游客在空中走廊“飛越山城,鳥瞰重慶”,穿梭高樓大廈之間,飛渡寬闊大江之上,行游山水都市之巔,已然是天際線一道獨特的風(fēng)景線。
輪渡,曾是多少重慶人心頭的一抹回憶。近年來,隨著江上大橋越建越多,輪渡從停運到漸漸變成了游客觀光的工具。朝天門至彈子石、大竹林至朝天門兩條航線在2019年初重新開通時就曾引發(fā)了一波熱烈的“懷舊游”。
亞洲地區(qū)第二長的坡地電梯皇冠大扶梯,連接了兩路口交通要道和菜園壩火車站,那一眼望不到頭的長度和令人驚嘆的坡度,讓乘坐這上上下下的交通工具變成游客又一次奇特的經(jīng)歷。
主城區(qū)以外,依山而建的長壽“三道拐”纜車與曾經(jīng)的渝中區(qū)望龍門纜車一樣,靠纜繩上下運行,穿行于江邊,交匯于山腰。作為國內(nèi)軌道最長、坡度最陡的地面客運纜車,“三道拐”纜車如今依然慢慢悠悠地行進著,吸引著眾多游客前往找尋曾經(jīng)的鄉(xiāng)愁。
巫山神女峰景區(qū)落差222米的懸崖垂直觀光電梯,是亞洲最高的戶外電梯。隨梯而上,長江以及北岸眾山峰的風(fēng)景一覽無余,視覺感觀極度震撼。
游長江三峽,乘坐游船觀雄偉、壯觀的“山水畫廊”,是打開重慶另一面的不二選擇。
| 未來“立體交通”更魔幻 |
各種“水陸空”的交通工具組成了山城重慶的立體交通體系,“魔幻立體交通”更得益于重慶人不斷突破地形條件限制創(chuàng)造的智慧與勤勞。
如今,這些交通工具還在提檔升級。2019年底,長江索道轎廂換新顏,外觀上還原了1987年版第一代轎廂的模樣,更具歷史感。轎廂內(nèi),玻璃通透,視野更廣闊;皇冠大扶梯將針對扶梯運行的空間區(qū)域進行改造,通道、墻面、頂棚等將融入巴渝文化,屆時皇冠扶梯會以一個全新樣貌示人。
新的賞景平臺還在建設(shè)中。2019年9月24日,江北區(qū)舉行2019年下半年重點項目集中開工儀式,其中包括給朝天門長江大橋加裝垂直升降梯,這是“橋都”重慶從未有過的創(chuàng)新之舉。電梯加裝在朝天門大橋的南北兩端,既方便兩岸市民出行,又方便游客賞景。電梯安裝完畢后,波光粼粼的江面,鱗次櫛比的城市建筑,橋上橋下美景連成一片。游在魔幻重慶,定會不虛此行。
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.
| A Natural Amusement Park Created by Unique Terrain |
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.
