Opened in 2005, Chongqing's monorail can carry up to 30,000 passengers per hour.
A key feature of the system is a monorail station located on the sixth to eighth floors of the residential building in Yuzhong District where trains pass directly through the building, making the scene unique.
To minimize noise disruption, the station is equipped with specialized noise reduction technology that isolates sounds from the surrounding residences.
Thanks to its remarkable design, the monorail station has become a popular tourist destination, with many visitors flocking to capture photos.
Chongqing, located in southwest China, is one of the country's four centrally governed municipalities, alongside Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin. Known for its modern transportation infrastructure, it is one of China's most developed cities.
Other monorail systems featured in the list include the Alton Towers theme park monorail in the U.K., the Seattle Center Monorail and Las Vegas Monorail in the U.S., the Wolmi Sea Train in South Korea, a suspension railway in Germany, and Osaka's monorail system in Japan.
The list was compiled based on unique designs and tourism popularity.
A video shared on Xiahongshu shows tourists gather to watch a train riding through a 19-story apartment building in Chongqing City, China.
