The tallest external elevator in the world
The Bailong Elevator in China's Zhangjiajie National Park takes tourists 360 meters to a viewing platform
Built directly into the quartz sandstone cliffs, this elevator lifts up to 50 people per minute in transparent two-story cabins, each of which can withstand 3,750 kilograms.
Built for $18 million between 1999 and 2002, it proudly flaunts itself in the Guinness Book of Records, and its earthquake sensors ensure that even nature does not ruin the tourists' trip. The engineers who squeezed this lift into the mountain clearly knew how to impress even the most picky traveler. If you are afraid of heights, it is better to hold on tight to the handrails. But most importantly, stock up on space on your phone, because these views require all the megabytes.
