The Great Glass Elevator

After finishing our walk along the Jinbian Stream, we were taken on a short bus ride to the foot of another immense mountain, which has the world's tallest and fastest dual outside elevator going up one side of it. You can see it on the left.















This thing holds 3 world records and was well worth the trip up. This picture is the view from inside the lift. I didn't take it. I was stuck at the back and had a lovely view of heads...












It didn't take us to a chocolate factory, however, at the top we were rewarded with some of the most amazing scenery ever.





























































Also on this peak is the world's finest natural bridge, pictured to the left.
















All along the handrails of this bridge are hundreds and thousands of padlocks, each inscribed with a personal message. They were placed there by lovers, symbolising everlasting and unbreakable love. Ahh.
