Wushan Goddess Escalator
Stretching over 900 meters in length, and climbing the equivalent of an 80-floor building, the Wushan Goddess Escalator is the longest outdoor escalator system in the world – and has become a premier tourist attraction.
Wushan Goddess Escalator Wushan, China
Stretching over 900 meters in length, and climbing the equivalent of an 80-floor building, the Wushan Goddess Escalator is the longest outdoor escalator system in the world – and has become a premier tourist attraction.
Made up of 21 escalators, eight elevators, and four moving walks, the Wushan Goddess Escalater stretches an incredible 905 meters in length. From the banks of the Yangzi up to the hilltop behind the city, it climbs 240 meters – the equivalent of an 80-floor building. Since opening, it’s reduced the travel time from over an hour to less than 20 minutes.
All units were manufactured and tested at our Jiading Campus in Shanghai, our company’s largest global manufacturing hub, before being shipped across the country.
With two of the escalators over 70 meters long, our modular approach allowed the use smaller machinery while installing them. This minimized the need for extensive hillside excavation and so reduced the risk of slope instability.
