World’s longest outdoor escalator put into use in China

Built on steep mountainsides, getting around Wushan County has never been easy. To meet residents’ needs, the county constructed the world’s longest outdoor escalator, stretching about 905 meters. Climbing slopes with an average gradient of 40 degrees, where machinery struggled to operate, large amounts of materials were carried up step by step by workers to make it possible. Put into trial operation this February, it has already become a vital part of the city’s transport system. #Chongqing #Wushan #Engineering #Infrastructure #MegaProject Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj0TppyxzQWm9JbMg3CP8Rg/join For more: https://www.cgtn.com/europe Social Media X: https://twitter.com/CGTNEurope Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cgtneuropeofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cgtneurope/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cgtneurope Feedly: https://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.cgtn.com%2Frss%2Feurope%2Frss.xml OTT iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1466868682 Apple TV: https://www.cgtnnow.com/help/using-the-apple-tv-app/apple-tv-apps Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgtnamericanow Android TV: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgtnamericanow Roku: https://channelstore.roku.com/en-gb/details/d62729a397c999f496fb208aaf19d782/cgtn-now Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TM1H636/ Our Shows RAZOR: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvPxSZWJo7MVrWR7bLC45FQ Podcasts: https://www.cgtn.com/special/CGTN-EUROPE-PODCASTS.html #CGTN #CGTNLIVE #CHINANEWS #EuropeNews
