Aerial view of the Bailong Elevator, also known as the Hundred Dragons Elevator, in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangijiajie scenic spot in central China's Hunan province, 21 April 2016. China's Bailong Elevator takes visitors up 1,070ft in around a minute. The Bailong Elevator, also known as the Hundred Dragons Elevator, carries tourists 1,070ft (330m) up the side of a massive sandstone column in a mountain range in China's Hunan province. Riding the glass lift, which carries up to 50 people at a time or 1,380 an hour, offers jaw-dropping, not to say vertiginous, views down to the bottom of the rocky mountain range in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangijiajie. Work began on the lift, which cost 120m yuan in 1999 and finished in 2002. Bailong Elevator has set three Guinness world Records i.e. World's tallest full-exposure outdoor elevator, world's tallest double-deck sightseeing elevator and world's fastest passenger traffic elevator with biggest carrying capacity but due to the potential harm caused to the surrounding landscape, its future remains uncertain.
