In the center of the city, near the banks of the Jialing River, is Liziba metro station. The amazing thing about this station is that it is located inside an apartment building.

And it is that due to the lack of spaces in the city, when they were building line two of the metro, the architects and engineers had to resort to locating the station inside the building.

This has allowed a very interesting view of the train entering through a building that appears to be residential. The transport then drops off its passengers and exits on the opposite side of the residential building to continue on its route.
