Bailong Elevator, Zhangjiajie, China
View Original Description
The Bailong Elevator (Hundred Dragons Elevator) is a glass elevator built onto the side of a huge cliff in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, China. It is claimed to be the highest and heaviest outdoor elevator in the world at 1,070 feet (330 m) high.
The environmental effects of the elevator have been a subject of debate and controversy, as the Wulingyan area was designated a World Heritage Site in 2002. Operations were stopped for 10 months in 2002-2003, reportedly due to safety concerns, not environmental ones.
