The most dangerous cable car in the world, in China

most dangerous cable car

There are many cable cars in Asia but none like the one you will find in the town of Yushan, a remote mountain town in central China's Hubei Province. This cable is its only connection to the outside world, a precarious kilometer-long zip line that swings over a deep 480-meter-high gorge. Undoubtedly, the most dangerous cable car in the world.

Surrounded by cliffs in a deep valley, Yushan is a town without access. To get out of there you have to face a long and arduous road through the narrow mountain paths or climb on this rudimentary device consisting of a simple steel cage powered by a diesel engine that was built in 1997 to help local villagers. to receive supplies.

world's most dangerous cable car

Every week the cables have to be lubricated so that the cable car works well, which is a very complicated job. This class of tPrimitive elepherics are very common in the poorer countries of Asia, and curiously many of them have become major tourist attractions. Many travelers come to Yushan to photograph him and even, in the case of the most daring, ride him.

Soon what they call the most dangerous cable car in the world (although since its launch until today there has not been a single accident) will cease to exist, because the local government plans to build a road to the village which, once completed, will mean the final withdrawal of the cable car.
