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

This is a unique 905-meter-long escalator in Chongqing municipality, designed to help residents navigate the city's steep 30-degree slopes. Before its construction, people relied on climbing numerous stairs daily.

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.

One trip costs 3 Yuan or around $0.42.
