The Yangtze River Cableway, shuttling between high-rise buildings in the mountain city of Chongqing in southwest China, has served as a distinctive cross-river public transportation service since 1987. As the cableway's passenger transportation function gradually weakened in the early 21st century, with years of expansion and renovation efforts, Chongqing's Yangtze River Cableway has been transformed into a popular sightseeing attraction, giving customers panoramic viewing experiences of the mountain city's unique landscape.

The Yangtze River Cableway in Chongqing has a total length of 1,166 meters, operates at a speed of 6 meters per second and has a one-way travel time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds. It has a maximum capacity of 65 passengers, with a daily passenger volume of 10,500 people.
