Hongyancun station (Chinese: 红岩村站; pinyin: Hóngyáncūn zhàn) is a station on Line 9 of Chongqing Rail Transit in Chongqing Municipality, China,[3] which opened in 2022.[1] It is located in Yuzhong District. Line 5 also reaches the station since November 2023.[2]
The station is the deepest metro station in the world. The deepest point of the station is 116 meters (381 ft) below the ground.[4][5][6][7] With the top of rail 106 meters (348 ft) below the surface.[8] Regardless, the depth breaks China's previous record depth of Line 10's Hongtudi station[9] and surpasses the depth of the Kyiv Metro's Arsenalna station, the previous record for deepest metro station.
The vertical height difference between Entrance 2 and Entrance 4 of the station is over 141 meters (463 ft).[10] From Entrance 2, you will need to take a three-segment ascending moving walkway that is approximately 105 meters long, and it takes about 6 minutes to access the Line 9 platform; while from Entrance 4, its a seven-segment descending escalator ride that takes about 8 minutes (if not by lift).[11]
