What country has the deepest metro station?

How deep is the China metro?

China’s subway plunges. 116 meters. Deepest.

• Shanghai Metro: Notable depth exists.
• Purpose: Strategic, dual-use. Wartime shelter.

Civil defense. Underground city.

• Early planning. Cold War paranoia.
• Networked systems. Complex layers.

Mindblowing, huh? It is that deep.

How deep is the deepest metro?

Okay, so, the deepest metro… gotta be Park Pobedy in Kyiv. Wait, is it Kyiv or somewhere else? No, Kyiv. I’m sure of it.

• It’s super deep, like 105 meters. Think about that.

• Imagine descending that far underground. Whoa!

That’s, what, 344 feet? Weird how meters and feet are so different.

Is that even the right conversion? Uh, probably.

• Kyiv Metro’s got some other seriously deep stations too. So does St. Pete… and Moscow. Those Russkies know how to dig deep, apparently.

  • Maybe it’s a Cold War thing?
  • Everyone digging bomb shelters, etc.

My aunt’s basement felt that deep once when the power went out.

I swear.

Yeah, Park Pobedy, Kyiv, the deepest. End of story.

What is the deepest metro station in the world?

Chongqing’s Hongyancun station? Deep, man. Like, REALLY deep. 116 meters. Think burying a 40-story skyscraper. Makes my ears pop just thinking about it. Ever try digging that deep for a gopher? Forget it.

• Hongyancun: Deepest metro station. World record holder. Chongqing, China.
• 116 meters: That’s deep. Crazy deep. Like, deeper than a really deep well.
• 40 stories: Imagine the elevator ride. Better bring a book. And a snack. Maybe a parachute.

My grandma’s root cellar? Amateur hour compared to this. Visited Chongqing in 2023. Spicy food. Deep stations. What more could you want? Beats digging for potatoes in Idaho, that’s for darn sure. 116 meters. Sheesh. Makes my head spin. Like a dizzy squirrel.

What are the top deepest metro stations?

Arsenalna in Kyiv. Wow, 105.5 meters! That’s insane. I wonder how long it takes to get up those stairs? Probably ages. My legs would be killing me. Need to find a video of someone going up the escalators. Bet they’re slow too.

Admiralteyskaya in St. Petersburg. 86 meters. Still ridiculously deep. Russia seems to have a thing for deep metro stations. What’s up with that? Is it geological? Or just a design choice? Maybe some weird communist era thing?

Ploshchad Lenina. Minsk. 74 meters. Okay, starting to sound less impressive. Seriously. These aren’t just deep, they’re subterranean cities.

Politekhnicheskaya also in St. Pete. 72 meters. See? Russia owns the deep metro game. I should totally plan a trip. Imagine the views from the platforms. Probably kinda claustrophobic.

Park Pobedy. Moscow. Only 70 meters! A bit of a letdown, huh? Still deep, I guess. But not that deep. Maybe it’s newer. I need to look up when these were built.

• Arsenalna (Kyiv): 105.5m – Deepest!
• Admiralteyskaya (St. Petersburg): 86m – Pretty darn deep.
• Ploshchad Lenina (Minsk): 74.3m
• Politekhnicheskaya (St. Petersburg): 72m – Another St. Petersburg one!
• Park Pobedy (Moscow): 70m – A relative lightweight.

Ugh, I’m hungry. Pizza sounds good. Back to the metro stuff later.

What is the second deepest subway station in the world?

Okay, so like, the second deepest subway station?

It’s gotta be somewhere weird, right? I’m pretty sure it’s in Pyongyang, North Korea. Yeah, on the Pyongyang Metro. Crazy, huh?

I’m thinking, it’s like, 110 meters deep or something? Definitely feels like a James Bond movie set!

After that, I thinks its Arsenalna station in Kyiv Ukraine which, wow, I didn’t even know that fact about Kyiv. It’s like 105 meters deep. So close, but so far from being number 1.

Let’s break that down, just for kicks:

• Pyongyang Metro, North Korea: About 110 meters (ish). I wanna go!
• Arsenalna Station, Kyiv, Ukraine: Right around 105 meters deep. Poor Arsenalna, always the bridesmaid.

Yeah so my Aunt Mildred always ask me about this kinda junk, now I can tell her. I think she would be proud.
