In case of mechanical failure, this is certainly where those Japanese toilets could come in handy!!

Where is the ground? The ground is at the top or bottom of the elevator? or nowhere near I think.

That is really something...what a project that must have been building that.

I'll bet the view is even better.

Dunno, think I've ridden in one that's got that beat. I worked for in two-way communications for many years and have been in an elevator that went over 1,500 feet. One in Homestead, Florida - broadcast tower for ch. 6 which was a 2,000 ft giant (that went down in Hurricane Andrew), and one in Hobe Sound - another broadcast tower. Not much of elevators mind you - barely enough room for 1 1/2 men - but could you up to do maintenance without a several hour climb. Just an open air cage with cables hoisting it. I rode those two for research and checking out a request only - not something I wanted to or normally would do...

China has about 130 cities most of us have never heard of with populations of more than a million people. Zhangjiajie is one of them. Just thought I’d pass that along👍
