Bailong Elevator

I've found another reason why I want to travel to China... I want to visit Bailong Elevator (百龍觀光電梯)!!



This 326m high elevator is located in Zhangjiajie, China (張家界, 武陵源風景區). It has three Guinness World Records:

• World’s tallest full-exposure outdoor elevator
• World’s tallest double-deck sightseeing elevator
• World’s fastest passenger traffic elevator with biggest carrying capacity

Going from bottom to top of cliff only takes 2 mins. Other means (e.g. cars) will take 4 hours.

However, due to the potential harm to the surrounding landscape, this elevator's future remains uncertain. I hope I'll have a chance to visit it before it closes down.
