Bailong Elevator
The Bailong Elevator () (literally Hundred Dragons Elevator) is a glass elevator built onto the side of a huge cliff in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, China that is high.〔(17 October 2007). (Peak attractions ), ''China Daily''〕〔(Frommer's China ), p. 753 (2010)〕〔(17 October 2002). (Construction in Scenic Spots: Protection or Destruction? ), ''Beijing Review''〕 It is claimed to be the highest and heaviest outdoor elevator in the world.〔
Construction of the elevator began in October 1999, and it was opened to the public by 2002.〔 The environmental effects of the elevator have been a subject of debate and controversy, as the Wulingyan area was designated a World Heritage Site in 2002.〔〔Han, Feng. (Cross cultural confusion: Application of World Heritage Concepts in Scenic and Historic Interest Areas in China ), in ''The wilderness debate rages on: continuing the great new wilderness debate'' (Michael P. Nelson & J. Baird Callicott, eds.), at p.261 (2008)〕 Operations were stopped for 10 months in 2002-2003, reportedly due to safety concerns, not environmental ones.〔(6 September 2003). (Sightseeing elevators restart at world heritage site ), ''China Daily''〕
On 16 July 2015 the elevator was officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s tallest outdoor lift.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Breathtaking cliff face elevator in China recognised as world’s tallest outdoor lift )〕
