Tourists come to see the “bus passing through building”

When standing at the first floor of the office building of the Bus Station after walking through the ticket hall, the reporter saw two girls snapped pictures of the bus passing through the bottom of the building with their mobile phones, “Look, another bus is passing.” “We saw the scene of bus passing through the building from the Internet and took the bullet train from Chengdu to watch the scene and just found it was really amazing." Liu Xiaojia, a 25-year-old tourist, said it will be crowded during the National Day holiday, so she and her friends came to see the “bus passing through building” and “light rail train passing through building” before the holiday.

The staff said that the building has 8 floors above ground and 1 parking floor under ground. At first, the 4-8 floors were used as hotels for travelers. However, due to the decrease of passengers and the long age of the building, the floors above the third are out of use due to safety concerns. After the “bus passing through building” becoming a hot spot, there are so many visitors every day and it even has been reported by media of other cities.

When looking up to the sky from the first floor of the building, the kaleidoscopic and dreamlike scene makes people feel as if they are in a time tunnel; when looking down, there is a road at the bottom with bus traveling through from time to time.

The design of the building has been awarded the “Luban Prize”

The Bus Station was built and put into use in 1990 and has been in use for 30 years. To meet the traffic need, long-distance buses can directly enter the highway by passing through the building after picking up passengers at the departure area and the design of the building has been awarded the “Luban Prize”.

According to relevant person, since the building has been a hot spot, Chongqing Transportation Holding (Group) has changed the treatment plan and plans to build it as a cultural and creative base. (Translated by Chen Yue, Fathom Language Limited)
