Road to the sky: the highest external elevator in the world raises passengers 326 meters above the ground

Those who are looking for adventures and crave a new portion of adrenaline will be delighted with a trip on a high elevator, which is placed directly on the cliff of the rocks in the Chinese National Park Zhangjianzze. The height is incredible, and beauty is incredible! See you and what wonderful views open from the glass cabin of the highest lift in the world.

The Bailun elevator is placed in one of the most picturesque places in China – in the National Forest Park of Zhangjiazze. It is called the “elevator of the hundred dragons” and it is officially entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest external elevator in the world.

The construction of a grand lift was completed in 2002. It consists of three two -story elevators, which raise bold passengers along the wall of a sandy cliff to the viewing site, to a height of 326 meters.

From this point, an incredible beauty opens the view of the picturesque mountain area of ​​Ulonyuan. This place became a source of inspiration for the creators of the film “Avatar”, who sketched the mysterious mountains of Pandora from Chinese landscapes.

Visitors for a fee are face to face with their fears. They rise to a dizzying height in just two minutes. Each elevator can accommodate up to 50 passengers. For a day, about 20,000 guests visit the famous lift.

The Bailun elevator was completed in the same year when the Ulnuyuan mining system became the UNESCO World Heritage Object. Some believed that the lifting structure is completely out of place and violates the natural beauty of the reserve. Others supported the project and noted that the elevator will loosen the load on already crowded mountain roads.

In addition, the elevator enables visitors to see the beauty of the park, which used to rise only on a dangerous mountain serpentine.

To see these species, curious tourists went to the plateau for about three hours. Sometimes they had to dwell on the night to achieve the desired goal, but now all the obstacles have disappeared, and every day the number of visitors is increasing.

The highest elevator in the world was closed for 10 months, in 2002-2003, due to safety problems. The lifting mechanisms were equipped with special alarm signals so that passengers could quickly be evacuated if an earthquake begins. In this region of China, they occur quite often.

If you are thinking about whether to go here or not, decide. You may have to stand in line for the elevator for several hours, but the beauty and height, from which breathing breathes and dizzy, will give an unforgettable impressions for life.
