The man behind China's through-building metro station – Liziba

For more:

Every day, thousands of people go to the Liziba monorail station, not for public transportation but to take pictures of trains passing through a 19-story building.

The man behind this project, Ye Tianyi, an instructor at Chongqing University's College of Civil Engineering, never thought that one day his work would become one of the city's most-visited tourist spots.

The Liziba station looks so futuristic, Chongqing is really a city of wonders

Ye Tianyi is a brilliant person, he loves his city and it's people very much. Ye Tianyi is also extremely talented and highly intelligent. He has seen his beloved city growing and growing further beyond any imagination 😃 Nowadays we receive in Europe entire freight trains with urgently needed electronic goods directly from Chongqing 💓💓💓💯

His monorail going through the building has put Chongqing on the map. It was unique in back then and still is. Great job! Mr Ye Tianyi. 👍👍👍

I wish they interviewed the residents of that building. I want to know if they feel any vibrations or hear the noise. That would definitely suck.

The US tried that with planes back in 2001, safe to say it didn't work out

Gênios incontestaveis, quando vejo algum jornaleco ocidente com críticas a China, já me lembro da raposa e a uva.

Thinking out of the box like Mr. Ye Tianyi is amazing. I think the Liziba station will be my next project for my brick-build Monorail (sorry that my videos are only in german available).

Urgh.. the noise, the vibration. I can’t imagine.

Friend: Where do u stay?
Me: i stay on top of the metro station

[zakuro]

Lot's of bright and amazing minds!

[SuccessforLifester]

Very interesting. Although I thought at first that it was an existing building and they had to find a way to hack parts of it and also to relocate the residents.

Very good idea, by building the metro through the building. Great job and respects to you, Mr Ye Tianyi.

Does the vibration cause disturbances to the apartments above and below?

Imagine your office was in that building, i would go straight to work without 10 minutes walking.
