goff0103 chongqing does have underground metro. Monorails are line 2&3 of the CRT(chongqing railway transit) and other lines such as line 1&6 are actually underground subway.
The building that the monorail goes through is great. The train is so quiet that I'm sure the residents don't even hear or feel the train. Interestingly, the bottom portion of the building did seem rather vacant, but above the staton, all the apartments seemed occupied.
i have heard that Chongqing was the greatest city in the world ...(by the number of residents) ! ! less known than Beijing or Shanghai... but i would like to visit this town (by monorail of course) ! greets from France !
Actually not, they say it's biggest coz they include the population of some other towns around the main city, which are also classified into administritive area of Chongqing.
Very interesting footage. Great filming! THANK you! An "item" to share ... and bring to my playlist of "trains, planes, ships & church bells" for sure.
The first design of these trains was conceptualised in Japan by Hitachi (who also supplied their IGBT-VVVF inverter, model number: VFI-HR3615C), then assembled locally at CNR Changchun, who designated these trains as QKZ2.
+Figureight The shot looks good, but I do things low tech. I was actually standing on an escalator going from street level up to the station entrance! It was kind of funny because I got on the escalator too soon and was walking down the up-escalator past people who were looking at me very strange!
+perry mac The nice thing about the monorail is that it is a much slimmer track. You can fit this track places that are too small for the Vancouver Skytrain to fit.
Awww .. you still champion at filming .. bravo (although I still can`t figure out how come filmers of your calibre, with your eye, aren't numerous .. oh well)!
Great video. And if I may I wanna acknowledge here in the comments the late Kim Peterson. He was the founder of the Monorail Society and probably the most vocal advocate for monorail technology. Maybe America and Europe thinks only of Monorail for the theme parks but clearly in China Japan and other parts of Asia the technology has shown to be capable of carrying as many if not more passengers than a standard metro system. Kim would have been proud of this video.
Wasn't it invented by a German? They seem to copy and use western technology better than western I wonder why it has not been implemented in western countries
Well this particular type of monorail is known as the straddle beam in that the train straddles the track as oppose to being suspended beneath the track like in Wuppertal Germany. The German company known as Alweg popularized it. Today several companies including Hitachi and Bombardier have continued manufacturing monorails based on the Alweg style.
Ótimo modal de transporte urbano. Não fica sujeito a enchentes e alagamentos e ainda pode passar por cima de vias sem precisar de entroncamentos e semáforos. Além de ter a praticidade de estações modernas com veículos a propulsão elétrica. Visão panorâmica e viagem silenciosa . Sem buracos , lombadas ou valas . E opção de integração viária.
Em São Paulo há uma linha em operação. Já viajei de monotrilho e achei um bom meio de transporte. Havia uma linha que seria construída entre São Paulo e São Bernardo que foi suprimida para atender a interesses privados prejudicado o interesse público.
+Hobo G The scene at 1:48 was shot on my last day in Chongqing. I thought there was something terribly wrong as I was approaching this area as I heard I lot of yelling. There was a man who was doing breathing and yelling exercises to warm up after swimming in the river! He made me feel his damp hair for proof! I saw about 5 people swimming in the river over the week I was in Chongqing.
I was last in Chongqing 10 years ago, very different to now! Back then it was a common sight to see people floating in the river attached to colourful dry packs carrying goods. The current was used to transport people and goods downstream. No boat required, quite amazing. www.dropbox.com/s/c3tjux1eelada7q/P1030621.JPG?dl=0
They are really quiet. The trams in Oslo are atleast 5 times as loud as this, shaking and screeching like hell. I always said we need monorails instead. And then just build a park/bike thingy under.
As far I know Germany does not have a maglev monorail.CRRC a government railroad company has built two medium speed maglev train lines,one in Changsha,the red line in Beijing and is building 9 more in different cities.CRRC is building a larger maglev train between cities at a designed speed of 2,500 km/hr in a vacuum enclosure..Siemen sold China the maglev train and the CH5 train which China improved to the CH360 that runs at 350 km/hr.
@@Luke_Starkenburg , that's so interesting, have you ever make a video about the HSR network in China? Chinese progress are making some engineering marvels such as the Beijing-Shangai high speed railway, which was built in only three years
You've done it again, Luke - another fantastic video! It really shows off just how silent these trains are - a single car on a nearby road makes more noise passing by. I really have to say though, for such a new system, the trains are really, really ugly! Very spartan/bare bones. Really looks like they're from the bad part of the 70's. :)
Yes, I agree the trains are not very beautiful, but they are utilitarian. They have the face of a regular subway train. The monorail technology is great though, allowing the monorail route to snake quietly through the city with minimal disruption.
I wish we could have a Monorail from downtown San Diego , California to the ( SAN ) airport , talks was going good on the subject then Covid-19 showed up and ended the discussion .
Eric Yuan 谢谢！ 拍摄时我很稳定，但我也使用视频编辑软件并稳定使用该软件。 （Final Cut Pro） Thank you! I am steady when I film but I also use video editing software and stabilize using the software. (Final Cut Pro)
Chongqing is a great example of what inland metropolises can achieve in the 21st century and beyond. Kudos to China! Hopefully we Americans will smell the coffee and will work to benefit ALL of our citizens thru equity and active change. Instead of trying to scapegoat and provoke conflict. Though I doubt it'd ever be so since America was built on empire & conquest. Not collectivism & hive-acculturation
People all around the world maybe heard about Beijing or Shanghai, and they might never heard of Chongqing. Chongqing is the most populous city in the world with 35million of population, also this city for Chinese known as the city of Cloud because the whole city is on the hight hill and most of the day, we can see the cloud around us. Another fact is that this city has 7000 high rise building while New York has only 6100. However, Chinese government sets it as a second tier city, because it’s located too far from the coast. And that’s why people hardly know Chongqing.
this video is great to show monorail capabilities. The speed is great, the curves and grade that it can take is amazing, and it has a lot of capacity.

There cannot be many cities in the world with a fully functioning multi line monorail system. An amazing system, thank you/

amazing landscape, flyovers, and setting. What an incredibly surprising for a lesser known chinese city
what an excellent video. i love how this monorail zigzags through different landscapes in Chongqing. you did a great job in filming and editing it.

Luke Starkenburg building can be converting to office block if people complain easy,, anyway Great video 👌
Quite EXCITING to watch the train approach !!!
The train is slow down when entering the building, is it because to reduce the noice or is there also a station inside the building?
Your countrys monorail is very slow
@@FebriantLeocesio there is a station inside
This is a great video. You have managed to capture the monorail successfully within the natural context of the city landscapes and skylines as well.
i have heard that Chongqing was the greatest city in the world ...(by the number of residents) ! ! less known than Beijing or Shanghai... but i would like to visit this town (by monorail of course) ! greets from France !
merci
Francois Gauthier Yes！I am from Chongqing，I love my hometown❤️
Welcome to Chongqing, it's a 3D magic city in China.
yes Chongqing is biggest city in china which have over 30million population.
Actually not, they say it's biggest coz they include the population of some other towns around the main city, which are also classified into administritive area of Chongqing.
I love the shot at 2:15. You must really travel a lot. You have excellent videos and I subscribed!
2:07 and 4:20 evocative of that iconic futuristic city scape in the film Metropolis
Those are some of my favorite shots in the video!
amazing! I am a Chongqinger and I haven't seen thisfrom these points,thank you
7:29 からのカメラワークが神ってる，すごい
Your youtube channel is a blessing for all train/transportation enthusiast like me. Thank you for the videos Luke!!! :)
哈哈，感谢上传，感谢分享。开心大重庆展现给大家。非常感谢，非常开心。重庆的确是一个即是古老又现代、时尚的大都市。发展不断的重庆引人瞩目，吸引着越来越多的人关注。关键是重庆人好客、热情和善良。从来不会排外的一个，又极有包容万物之心的大都市。欢迎大家到重庆看看。妙不可言的一个大都市。一个让人流连忘返的城市。已离开重庆几年了，想念重庆的一切。解放碑步行街、商圈等更会让你们惊奇不已，哈哈哈。打望重庆的美女就去重庆解放碑吧！重庆的各个区都有不同的特色和饮食，一个人生不要错过的大都市。
great video. Beautiful monorail sistem
what a beautiful city!
I agree and I really enjoyed my time there!
This is amazing! Wang to visit chongqing so much!
Thank you for your work in introducing this unique city to the world.
Thank you, I really want to go back! I've been there twice already, and there is still more to see and do!
very very very very nice landscape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting footage. Great filming! THANK you!

Absolutely fascinating city. Would love to visit it doesn't look like any other city in the world.
Looks amazing alot of hard work and much planning went into this.
好棒的感覺 感覺好棒 單軌好靈活
How was the shot around 7:35 filmed? It looks like a drone shot but there's no drone noise and looks way too high for a crane / jib shot.
+Figureight The shot looks good, but I do things low tech. I was actually standing on an escalator going from street level up to the station entrance! It was kind of funny because I got on the escalator too soon and was walking down the up-escalator past people who were looking at me very strange!
+Luke Starkenburg i knew you must have used some trickery there! :D
@@Luke_Starkenburg the lengths you go to to get a trick shot like this 🤣
Well made vid. Shot selection good. Angle selection good. Sound good. Nice job.
Excellent! It's so quiet!
amazing!
Amazing city!!!
Chongqing is definitely a Three-dimensional Megacity. I will take this Line 2 someday, so interesting.
NIce town but we were in grouptour and didn't have realy time to visit. Great video!
Nice video. Apart from LIM propulsion like those in Vancouver, monorail looks good for cities with hill landscape.
+perry mac The nice thing about the monorail is that it is a much slimmer track. You can fit this track places that are too small for the Vancouver Skytrain to fit.
This is exceedingly cool!
I love it!
One day I hope I can see this in person!
+thedigi1 It is worth it to plan a visit to Chongqing to be able to ride two fantastic monorail systems, Line 2 and Line 3!
Awww .. you still champion at filming .. bravo (although I still can`t figure out how come filmers of your calibre, with your eye, aren't numerous .. oh well)!

专门为了体验山城过山车式的单轨跑到重庆的飘过，风景很赞，就是办理一卡通很不方便太麻烦了！！！
Straight out of Shadowrun! Awesome!
Magnificent!!!
欢迎来到重庆
Awesome!
I was born here, I love this city.
How does it compare to Shanghai and shenzen?
Spectacular Vehicles!
Excellente video!
Great footage, amigo.
啊 去年去重庆玩 没记错的话是从烈士陵园站下的非常深才到地铁站 然后就过了一两站发现地铁跑天上了 太神奇了。
李恒 大学城段实在地上的，刚建起来的时候我们本地人第一次坐也很懵逼，1号线是地铁，不是单轨，那个时候终于知道地铁不一定非要在地底下跑
Nice train..Thank you

The glass tower in 5:15 is no longer exsits
Thats too bad, it was a nice addition! It looked nice with the monorail track!
I have a question. This monorail has a higher or lower capacity compared with the one in São Paulo (line 15 silver)?
Yes, this has slightly higher capacity. I think the trains are wider, and also have completely open gangways between cars.

subway is under ground so no one care how it look.
but this monorail, it should be future style, like . what a pity.
重慶市人口就3100萬人以上，要治理這個城市也不容易！
that was great!!

作为重庆人，我来说说轻轨的优点是平稳安静，缺点就是有点慢！

Why sun never appeared in this city?
Some days are clear and sunny but a lot of days are very smoggy or foggy or a combination of the two.
