The Bailong Elevator, also known as the Hundred Dragons Elevator, is a glass elevator located in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, China. It is considered the tallest outdoor elevator in the world, with a height of 326 meters (1,070 feet).
The elevator is built into the side of a cliff in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and takes visitors to the top of the cliff, where they can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Construction of the Bailong Elevator began in 1999 and was completed in 2002. The elevator has three double-story cabins, each capable of carrying up to 50 passengers. It is powered by a system of three powerful engines and is capable of lifting passengers at a speed of 3 meters per second.
The Bailong Elevator is a popular tourist attraction and is visited by thousands of people each year. However, its construction and location were also controversial due to concerns about its impact on the natural environment and passenger safety.
