Wait for the switch! In southwest China's Chongqing, the monorail changes tracks by moving the track itself. A roughly 120-tonne section of track slides 4.25 meters into position, completing the switch in less than 30 seconds. The unusual mechanism is part of a monorail network built to navigate Chongqing's mountainous terrain, steep slopes and rivers. The video went viral again during China's National Day holiday. Did you spot the track moving before the train changed direction? 👀 #infrastructure #Chongqing #China #holiday #ChinaTech 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge:
