Our country has a vast territory, and every province and city have many amazing records in the world, such as Mount Everest, the world's longest city wall, the world's oldest business and trade channel, the Silk Road, the world's most famous tidal bore-Qiantang River, the world's driest sluice canal-Guangxi Lingqu, the world's highest river-Yarlung Zangbo River, the world's longest Grand Canal-Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, etc. These are either the magical creations of nature or the crystallization of the labor and wisdom of the ancients. They are both very remarkable.

In modern times, China has the world's largest hydropower project (Three Gorges Dam), the world's largest cross-sea bridge (Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge), the world's largest aperture radio telescope, China's high-speed railway with the longest operating mileage in the world, and the world's tallest Aizhai Bridge... and other world-leading large-scale projects have attracted global attention. Among these shocking projects, one elevator is also very famous. It is the Bailong Ladder located in Zhangjiajie, Hunan.

Bailong Ladder is located in the Wulingyuan Scenic Area of Zhangjiajie, a world natural heritage site. It was jointly built by Beijing Bailong Green Technology Enterprise Corporation and British Floyd Co., Ltd. It is a road costing 180 million yuan, with a vertical height difference of 335 meters and a running height of 326 meters. Outdoor sightseeing ladder.

In 2015, Bailong Ladder was included in the Guinness Book of Records with the honor of "the world's tallest outdoor elevator, the tallest double-decker sightseeing elevator, the largest load and fastest sightseeing elevator." It can rise by 5.25 meters per second. The height of 335 meters only takes 66 seconds. It can carry 64 tourists at a time, and the three elevators can transport 6000 people up and down the mountain in one hour.

The Bailong Ladder is magnificent and consists of a 154-meter-long shaft in the mountain and a 172-meter-long steel structure derrick. It uses three double-layer fully exposed sightseeing and runs side by side in separate units. It is a perfect combination of natural beauty and man-made wonders. Its completion has also pushed Yuanjiajie, Jinbianxi, the World's No. 1 Bridge, and Chizitai from behind the scenes to the front desk, solving the traffic bottleneck problem that has plagued Zhangjiajie for many years.

According to the staff, the Hundred Dragons Ladder looks magnificent, but it is very difficult to build. The 100,000 mountains in Zhangjiajie are the result of hundreds of millions of years of geological structure, and the terrain is very complex. In the specific construction process of Bailong Tiantian, the number of professional and technical problems involved is comparable to that of the Three Gorges Project, and it is extremely difficult even in the world.

Due to its difficulty and uniqueness in construction, Bailong Ladder was rated as the "Top 11 Creative Elevators in the World" together with the German Fish Tank Elevator and the American Arch Elevator. It is also the only elevator in China on the list. Moreover, Bailong Lantian was rated as one of the IAID's "Top Ten International Tourism Landscape Projects" at the International Architectural Decoration Summit held in 2005.

After the completion of the Bailong Ladder, it has great advantages compared with other means of transportation. The first is the advantage in time. When there were no elevators in the past, it usually took 2-3 hours to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and it would be very hard on the way. It often gives people the feeling that their eyes are in heaven and their bodies are in hell. It has been lost for half a day when they arrive on the mountain, and most of them are sweating. If it rains, the situation will even worse. However, if you take the Hundred Dragons Stairway, it only takes 66 seconds to reach the peak in an instant, saving a lot of time and physical strength.

During the trip, if you encounter bad weather, such as strong winds, heavy rain, or heavy snow, not only may the road leading up the mountain be closed, but buses (the mountain road is winding and narrow) and cableways may also be suspended. However, the Hundred Dragons Ladder can not be affected by the weather and runs all the year round. People can quickly come to the top of the mountain to enjoy the location of the suspended mountain in the movie "Avatar"-Hallelujah Mountain, as well as the surrounding landscapes such as the World's First Bridge, Fantai, and Yuanjiajie.

In addition to saving time, physical strength, and being unaffected by the weather, the Hundred Dragon Staircase itself is also a beautiful scenery, and riding in the ladder is also a mobile viewing platform, because all three sides of the Hundred Dragon Staircase are fully transparent. Glass, during the rapid rise, you can appreciate the iconic landscape of Wulingyuan, a gathering of magic weapons, from different perspectives. Forty-eight stone peaks rise from the ground opposite it and stand in the canyon. It is majestic. It is like a group of soldiers standing in line. It is said that they are all divine weapons of the king. Most of these stone pillars are shaped like needles, cones and mallets, thin and strong. This spectacular scene is amazing. As the saying goes,"How can you know that the stone peaks have become a forest if you don't watch the gathering of weapons?"
