Read a representative passage
The Yangtze River Cableway(长江索道)crosses between Xinhua Road(新华路)in Yuzhong District and Shangxin Street(上新街)in Nan'an District. Opened in the 1980s as urban transport, it now functions largely as a sightseeing experience. The crossing is short. Queue, ticket validation and terminal access often take longer than the ride.
