“停靠在八楼的2路汽车”具象化了
A surprising sight in Chongqing has recently become popular online: a bus seems to crash through a building and stop halfway up the floors. This special installation (设施) has attracted widespread attention from netizens across the country. Local authorities have stated that the building’s safety assessment (评估) is legal, and the installation is just a creative visual design.
According to a domestic news report, a property management company in Nan’an District of Chongqing created this tourist attraction. They cut a bus in half and mounted the front and rear parts on two different buildings, creating the eye-catching illusion of the bus piercing through the buildings. The person in charge of the property said the design idea came from two sources: the lyrics “the No.2 bus parked on the eighth floor” from a popular Chinese song, and Chongqing’s famous Liziba Station, where Line 2 subways pass through a residential building. The construction opened to the public a few months ago.
Netizens have mixed reactions to this installation. Many expressed their eagerness to visit and praised its creativity. However, some pointed out that the “eighth floor” in the song lyrics actually refers to a place name, not a real floor. Meanwhile, others raised concerns about whether the installation is illegal or poses safety risks.
