Chongqing Travelogue | Tourists must visit the Kaixuan Road Elevator

| Tourists must visit the Kaixuan Road Elevator.🌆 I recently spent a day documenting the ins and outs of Kaixuan Road🚀, hoping that more people will pay attention to it, as it shares the glory of Chongqing and its era. ☀️ It is the Kaixuan Road built in 1942, when people's way of getting around was still the primitive climbing of slopes and ridges, yet no one expected that in February 1986, Kaixuan Road would experience a sensational event. It became the first place in China to have an urban passenger elevator. ☀️ Unsurprisingly, Kaixuan Road became a landmark of Chongqing, carrying the pride of the entire city. At that time, mentioning Kaixuan Road or the Kaixuan Road Elevator, no one would not marvel at it. And taking an elevator by the roadside, going down to the 11th floor and still being on the road, the instant dizziness that can make one's head spin, also made the Kaixuan Road Elevator, along with the Yangtze River Cableway and the Crown Escalator, known as Chongqing's 'Magical Trio' ☀️ After getting off the elevator, you will see a small stall selling fried skewers. The old lady there has been selling for over twenty years. The food is very affordable and delicious. After taking the elevator, you can follow the stairs up to experience the charm of the mountain city. If you're not tired, you can also stroll around the area. ☀️ Although there are already many high-rise buildings around, there is still some of the old Chongqing flavor preserved. Another point is that it is very close to Jiefangbei, Hongya Cave, Baixiang Street, and the Yangtze River Cableway. Foreign tourists don't need to take a taxi, they can just walk there. ⚠️ If you can't find the way, you can ask passers-by or use navigation. !!!! Elevator: Bring small change, 1 yuan/trip!!!! 🚌 Bus: Take the metro line 2 to Jiaochangkou and exit from gate 10A, walk 400 meters to get there 🚗 Driving: Just search for Kaixuan Road Elevator
