Bailong Lift : An Elevator Built For A Mountain

Have you ever stepped up to the top of a mountain using an elevator? No? Then you have not gone or traveled to Wulingyuan which located in Zhangjiajie, China. If you had gone or traveled to there then you certainly have seen the sharp towering elevator of Bailong which was built next to a large mountainside.

This lift is also known as the elevator of the hundred Dragons. The length of this glass elevator is about 330 meters and is said to be the highest and most dangerous external elevator in the world.



And is very likely to be the only elevator that allows people to climb to the top of the mountain without the need to climb.

The lift is designed to carry 48 people at once time, to take them to the top of the mountain on a trip with a speed of three meters per second. It is ranked after the completion of construction and building as the tallest external elevator in the world and the fastest elevator with a capacity that accommodate a large number of passengers at one time.
