Match the real place李子坝 · Line 2 / public viewing platform
  1. Choose what you want to see

    To ride through the building, use an ordinary Line 2 transit ticket. To photograph the train, use the public viewing platform below. These are different positions; no special sightseeing-train ticket is needed for the normal metro ride.

  2. Find the lower viewing route

    Follow 观景平台 / Viewing Platform and Exit 1 signage; the upper Exit 2 opens onto a different street level. Use current crowd-control diversions if signs change.

  3. Photograph from a safe place

    Use the marked crossing and stay on the viewing platform. Wait for an ordinary train; do not stand in traffic or block station doors. If collecting a ride afterwards, name the road and level, not just Liziba.

If this does not workIf the public platform is crowded or temporarily restricted, follow staff directions. Do not pay a stranger for access to a supposedly mandatory special viewing ticket.
