## About Yangtze River Cableway

The Yangtze River Cableway is praised with the saying: “Sunlit mountain city by day, a sea of lights by night—without the cableway, you haven’t really been to Chongqing.” The cabins are glass on all sides, offering 360-degree views. By day you can take in the natural scenery of both banks, and after nightfall the city glows in a spectacular blaze of light. For visitors from elsewhere, crossing the Yangtze by cableway and enjoying Chongqing’s famous views from the air is an exhilarating experience. The cableway is also a popular filming location, with several TV series and films shot here, including Passing Through Your Whole World and Zhou Yu’s Train.
