Looking for the new landmark of Chengyu Cultural Tourism, naturally, everyone's "curiosity" cannot be blocked.
Speaking of the magic of the 8D magical city of Chongqing, the world’s people have been shocked by the light rail crossing the building in the past few years-Liziba Station of Metro Line 2. This is the magic on the ground, and the magic hidden in the underground. It is the Hongdidi Station of Metro Line 10.
Because this is an interchange station, Line 6 and Line 10 intersect here, and its maximum buried depth is 94.467 meters, equivalent to the height of a 31-story building!
There are 91 super escalator network groups!
As the deepest red earth station in the country that has been opened, how do passengers travel between the ground and the platform? Let’s start from the pit stop. At the 3A entrance of Hongdidi Station, you have to take 4 consecutive long escalators to reach the ticket gate of Line 6. It takes about 4 minutes.
This time does not seem to be long. If you switch to walking, the time will be around 12 minutes. Is this going down or the other way around?
If you want to take line 10, sorry, please continue down. Because Line 10 is under Line 6, the two stations intersect in a "ten" shape to realize the transfer. Therefore, you can take another 3 long escalators to get to the ticket gate of Line 10 Hongdi Station.
And to calculate the ticket gate from the ground to Line 10, it would take 7 minutes to take the escalator alone. At the same time, the 7 escalators are not completely connected, and each time you change to the next escalator, you have to walk a few steps.
According to the station staff, Hongdidi Station, as the transfer station of Chongqing Rail Line 6 and Line 10, has built a total of 91 escalators, forming a rare super escalator network group in China.
The straight up and down elevator is equivalent to 29 floors
"Line 6 station was constructed and put into use on September 28, 2012, and Line 10 Hongdidi Station was officially opened in 2017." According to the station staff, for the convenience of passengers, especially to help passengers with poor legs and feet get in and out more quickly At the station, there is also a "shortcut" in the Hongdidi Station, which is the elevator that goes straight up and down. The depth of the elevator shaft also reached an astonishing 78.7 meters, which is equivalent to a 29-story building, which also "defies" the elevators of other subway stations across the country.
Faced with such a deep subway station, passengers have different opinions.
Mr. Wang from Hubei came to Hongdidi Station on Line 10 for the first time. He said, “I have a strange feeling. The more I sit down below, the more chill I feel.”
Mr. Yu, who lives in Jiangbei District, Chongqing, said: “Every time I I took the elevator down from the ground, and it felt like I was riding a roller coaster. It made my head faint.”
Mr. Peng, who also lives in Jiangbei District, said humorously: “You ask me how deeply I love you, just like a red earth. The subway station is so deep."
