Cableway to be rebuilt
Print Edition
A cableway across the Jialing River in Chongqing will be rebuilt to boost tourism.
Construction of the project will start next year and finish in 2019, bringing back scenes from when cable cars moved across the river, said a manager with Chongqing Passenger Cableway Corporation.
Operating from 1982 until 2011, the 740-meter-long Jialing River Cableway was China’s first urban transport facility of its kind, designed to suit the terrain of the mountainous city.
It was a major mode of transport for local residents. A total of 100 million passenger trips were carried by two cars running in opposite directions, with a daily passenger flow of 25,000 at peak times.
The cableway was suspended in March 2011 as its operation affected the construction of a bridge and light rail project. In 2013 the ropes of the cableway were dismantled.
