In fact, the building and station werebuilt at the same time.The famous Monorail Line 2 continues to createlandmarks throughout the city
没有哪一个车站会像李子坝车站那样盛名在外，这项工程杰作甚至会让人感到是视觉幻象但事实正如所见单轨穿楼而过事实上建筑与车站同时而建著名的重庆轨道交通2号线穿城而过继续创造着不同的地标景观
By2025 Chongqing will have 1,000 kilometers of rail transit in operation andunder construction. The rail network serves its city as a connection for itspeople to commute while acting as a hub to all vital areas airports businessesand logistics
