The Optics Valley Skyrail, a glass-bottomed suspension railway, opened in Wuhan on 2nd October 2023, offering passengers a view downwards as well as sideways. The 10.5 km first phase of the line, which mainly targets tourists, runs from Jiufengshan in Jiufeng National Forest Park to Longquanshan. The operation is driverless, with a maximum speed of 60 km/h. There are six stations, including interchanges with Metro Line 11 at Gaoxin Boulevard and Tram Line 2 at Gaoxin Second Road. The vehicles with rubber tyres and battery power were supplied by CRRC Qingdao Sifang, which provided the design in two- to six-car formations. The two-car sets for Wuhan have a capacity of 220 passengers and a 270° view through the transparent window in the floor and the conventional windows.
