>The longest outdoor escalator system in the world is now running in Wushan County, China. At nearly 3,000 feet long, it carries pedestrians up 800 feet in elevation—around the height of an 80-story skyscraper. The system is known as the “Goddess” escalator, and it’s made of 21 individual escalators, 8 elevators, 4 moving walkways and several pedestrian bridges. Riding all of them takes roughly 21 minutes. “As far as I know, there are no similar projects nationwide, either exceeding or equal to ours, either under construction or already started,” project design lead Huang Wei, an engineer at China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group, tells the Financial Times’ Thomas Hale and Wang Xueqiao. “It’s the first of its kind.”
