Bailong Elevator 百龙电梯

The Bailong Elevator (Chinese: 百龙电梯;
literally Hundred Dragons Elevator) is a glass double-deck elevator built onto the side of a cliff in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, China,
In order to ascend to the top of one such pillar, and to avoid a two-hour hike, the elevator ascends its height of 326 m (1,070 ft) in just one minute and 32 seconds.

I was just going to say what Helen said, but I guess it makes it easier for more people to get to the top. The cliff is stunning. V

The elevator looks a bit out of place among the pillars, but it must be a big convenience for people who don't want a grueling hike. V.
