7 most impressive train rides in the world

Trains that run through apartment buildings in China or hang overhead in Germany have been voted impressive in the world for giving visitors a "one-of-a-kind" experience.

Train runs through buildings in Chongqing, China

The Chongqing monorail system has a capacity of 30,000 passengers per hour. The line passes through a 19-story building at Liziba Station, where floors 6 to 8 are designated as a station and the remaining floors are residential. Thanks to the soundproofing system, residents can still live normally even when the train passes right next to their homes.

Monorails are often used in densely populated cities, amusement parks or tourist areas because of their compact design, high altitude travel and short distances. Some lines are impressive because of their unique architecture, such as passing through apartment buildings or suspended above the river.

Not only a means of transportation, monorail also offers the experience of sightseeing from above. Many routes have therefore become the choice of tourists who love to explore urban areas.
