Chinese netizens have dubbed Caojiawan subway station on Line 6 of the Chongqing Metro as the “oddest station.” /VCG Photo

The mysterious station in southwest China’s Chongqing municipality was planned with three access points. Only one entry point of three has been opened so far. /VCG Photo

One exit was opened in October 2015. It may not be that easy to find though: It’s surrounded by clumps of weed and muddy alleys. No main roads are directly linked to the exit. /VCG Photo

The two unopened exits are even more difficult to find, as they are in a completely isolated wasteland. Locals can spot these entrances only if they are standing directly in front of the doors. /VCG Photo

Hidden in an obscure location, a lone elevator near the two unopened access points are yet to open. /VCG Photo

“Usually there are rare passengers. It is quite normal to see no passengers here,” a subway employee told Chongqing Morning Post on Monday. /VCG Photo
