A light rail that passes straight through an apartment block - the world's most famous train station.

At Liziba, the monorail doesn't stop at the station - it stops inside the building, rumbling through the sixth floor of an apartment tower that was deliberately designed around it. Locals live above the platform; tourists crowd the viewing platform across the street.

Take Line 2, sit at the front, and get off at Liziba for the classic shot. The station also has a small museum explaining how they built it without waking the residents.

Best for: A train ride through someone's apartment building.
