Chongqing is a mountainous city, it's very hard to build highways, subways and trains. If you know the landform of Chongqing, you wouldn't be surprised. Chongqing is a beautiful city with amazing facilities of transportation. It's very unique, I was shocked when I first went there.

In chongqing China, when you thought you are on the ground floor, actually you are on some building's third floor (F3) and another building's third floor below the ground floor.

I'm going to assume that there are also elevators -- for the handicapped, odd pieces of equipment being moved up or down, emergencies, and countless other reasons why they must have elevators.

Fact: There're so many lines crossing at this station that entails multiple layers to separate the lines.
