no other train station lives up to the ludicrous size of Chongqing East.
- Role: subject
- In the video: The station sits on a mountainside about 20 km from downtown, with 15 platforms over eight floors and a 120,000 m² roof on tree-shaped columns; it was built in 38 months with the help of construction robots.
- Why it matters: The station is the whole video, an example of the scale of China’s high-speed rail build-out.
