Images of many people in China raising their heads and opening their mouths at the same time brought to mind the question: Are we living in a simulation? But behind the interesting movements was a photo trend. It turned out that tourists posed at the same time to make the train passing through a 19-story building appear, from the camera angle, as if it were entering their mouths.
Liziba Station in Chongqing, China, is the scene of extraordinary images. In the area known for its train line passing through a building, tourists gather to take the same photo and video. The resulting images resemble a strange scene where, seen from a distance, people make the same movement at the same time.
EVERYONE OPENS THEIR MOUTH AT THE SAME TIME
In the first part of the shared 12-second video, a woman standing near the train line opens her mouth and poses for the camera. In the continuation of the footage, many people making the same movement are seen. The crowd of women, men, and children raising their heads and opening their mouths recalls scenes in computer games where characters follow the same command.
In the video, the movement is first shown by a single person, and then the camera turns to the crowd, revealing the scale of it.
IT TURNS OUT THEY WERE ALL TRYING TO SWALLOW THE TRAIN
According to reports in the foreign press, the secret of the images is the photo trend that has emerged at Liziba Station, one of Chongqing's most famous tourist spots. Tourists try to make the monorail train passing in the distance appear as if it is entering their mouths by using the camera angle.
Visitors open their mouths as the train passes, and when the right angle is captured, they obtain images that give the impression of swallowing a giant train. The fact that many people trying to take the same photo gather together creates an unusual crowd.
A TRAIN PASSES THROUGH A 19-STORY BUILDING
The reason Liziba Station in Chongqing attracts so much attention is that the train line passes through a 19-story building. The monorail operating on the city's No. 2 rail system line continues on its way through a special section inside the building.
The structure, which draws attention with its extraordinary architecture, has become one of the spots where tourists take the most photos. Trains entering and leaving the building create an optical illusion, especially in images taken from a distance.
SIMILAR IMAGES WERE SHARED BEFORE
In research conducted in the foreign press, it was also determined that similar images are not new. In news published in February 2025, crowded images of tourists posing as if swallowing a train were featured. In April 2026, visitors making the same movement were also filmed.
Therefore, there is no evidence that the people in the video are part of a simulation or that an unexplained event occurred. The images reflect the interesting scene created by people trying to take the same photo at a tourist spot.
