208-meter-high elevator holds three world records
An outdoor elevator installed on a mountain has received three world record certifications by the World Record Association (WRA) in one day, reported chinanews.com on Wednesday.
The elevator has become a must-ride when visiting Taihang Mountain in Shanxi province since it opened in October.
It can take a maximum of 21 people for one trip that takes about 52 seconds. While riding the elevator, people can enjoy a thrilling panoramic view of Taihang Mountain, one of the ten most beautiful valleys in China.
On November 17, it became certified as the world's tallest outdoor sightseeing elevator, the world's fastest outdoor multi-level sightseeing elevator on a cliff, and the world's highest multi-level transparent sightseeing platform on a cliff.
