Will Chongqing Crown Escalator become a tourist attraction in the future?

The two ends of the Crown Escalator connect Caiyuanba and Liangkou respectively, which are both important transportation hubs in Chongqing. Therefore, the connection function of Crown escalator is very critical.

With the gradual marginalization of Chongqing Railway Station (Caiyuanba Railway Station), Caiyuanba's traffic status has gradually weakened, and the frequency of people using the Crown escalator has decreased.

However, things always turn around. Variety shows and film and television dramas take Crown Escalator as the location, which also makes it a famous punching place among network celebrities.

Crown escalator can be favored by variety shows and film and television dramas, and it is not groundless.

With a total length of112m, Crown Grand Escalator is the second longest escalator in Asia with a lifting height of 52.7m.. Run from top to bottom for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This uniqueness makes it an important landmark of variety shows and film and television dramas.

Although it is an escalator, there is an extra charge for taking the Crown escalator. At present, the fare of 2 yuan has been included in Chongqing's urban public transport system.

In 2020, the Crown Escalator will be closed and upgraded. The construction period took more than four months and finally resumed operation in the near future.

What will the reconstructed Crown Escalator look like? In order to find out, Youpin made a special inquiry.

From the two-way railway station, you will soon see the entrance of the Crown Escalator. After transformation, it has become more dazzling, spacious and bright.

Posters about the Crown Escalator have also been updated, and there are new advertising slogans, which give people a refreshing feeling.

At the entrance of the upper end of the two intersections, global tourism service centers have been set up respectively, which can provide some help for tourists and friends. At the same time, self-service ticketing equipment is also set up. You can make an appointment to buy tickets in advance, and then pick them up on the spot, or you can buy tickets directly on the spot.

The ticket for the Crown escalator is relatively simple, that is, a printed list with a QR code, which can be scanned and verified directly at the entrance, and then it can be kept as a souvenir.

There is also a cultural and creative store next to the global tourism service center, but there is no actual product yet, so it is estimated that it will take some time. In addition, there is a relatively spacious area here. If there are many passengers, passengers can have a rest for a while.

Walking down the Crown Escalator, you can clearly feel its changes. Before, because of the long time, the crown escalator looked a little shabby as a whole, but now it is completely new.

The lights are brighter, and many parts including the ceiling have been replaced and upgraded, which can be directly reflected from the brand-new appearance. Other aspects are basically the same as the original. After 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the tour products reached the lower end of the escalator smoothly.

The lower end still adopts the same design idea as the upper end, and sets up a global tourism service center and a spacious area for special occasions.

From the actual process, there are not many changes in the Crown Escalator. There was a naked-eye 3D screen at the upper entrance, but it didn't play when I swam there. However, only the upgrade in appearance and the planning expectation for future development can still be expected.

1996 Crown Escalator, which officially started operation, has accompanied the people in Shancheng for more than 20 years. Earlier, the cable car was actually used to travel between Caiyuanba and the intersection, but now the cable car can no longer be seen, which makes the Crown Escalator the last memory of traditional mountain city traffic.

In fact, Chongqing people have long been used to climbing mountains and crossing mountains, but when they encounter a lot of luggage or carry heavy objects, they still hope to have transportation to help us carry the load. This is the value of Crown Escalator.

For tourists and friends, Crown escalator is more of a strange experience, because in other cities, escalators will not be regarded as public transport, and there is no need to charge separately.

However, the Crown Escalator is just an escalator after all, and many friends come here just to punch in as a souvenir. Next to the Crown escalator, there is also a Jianxingpo escalator that Chongqing people are equally familiar with.

You can also travel between Lianglukou and Caiyuanba, but you need to walk. There are shops on both sides of the ramp, and the formats are very diverse: restaurants, hotels, daily necessities and so on. It also shows the real life of the people in the mountain city, so when you go to the Crown escalator to punch in, you might as well take a look at the Jianxingpo escalator next to it.

Judging from the current development direction of Crown Escalator, it will enrich itself by adding more formats, thus attracting more people and providing you with a better service experience.

Turning some Chongqing people's habits into tourist attractions, there has been a successful precedent for the Liziba track to cross the building, and tourists are also looking forward to the better development of the Crown Escalator in the future.
