The Wushan Goddess Escalator in Chongqing has officially become the world’s longest outdoor escalator system , stretching about 905 meters and rising 242 meters—like climbing an 80-story building .
Built along the rugged Wu Gorge, it follows the mountain’s natural shape instead of cutting through it . The system includes 21 escalators, 8 elevators, and multiple walkways, connecting remote Yangtze River communities to urban areas .
What once took a tough 60-minute hike now takes just 20 minutes , making life easier for locals and boosting tourism. The glass-covered design also offers stunning panoramic views .
Engineered to handle extreme weather and heavy crowds, it features advanced safety monitoring systems .
More than just transport, this project reflects China’s vision of “painless hiking” —making nature more accessible while driving tourism and economic growth .The Wushan Goddess Escalator in Chongqing has officially become the world’s longest outdoor escalator system , stretching about 905 meters and rising 242 meters—like climbing an 80-story building .
