Hongyancun station is a station on Line 9 of Chongqing Rail Transit in Chongqing Municipality, China,[2] which opened in 2022.[1] It is located in Yuzhong District. Line 5 also reaches the station since November 2023.[3]
The station is the deepest metro station in the world. The deepest point of the station is 116m (381feet) below the ground.[4] [5] [6] [7] With the top of rail 106m (348feet) 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.
