Last updated 2026-09-25 — Everyone has seen and heard a lot about the Grand Canyon, just like Hong Kong even has its own version – the Pineapple Hill Grand Canyon. But have you ever seen a sightseeing elevator in a grand canyon? This time, we’re introducing the Enshi Grand Canyon, located at the junction of Hunan, Chongqing, and Hubei in China.

Everyone has seen and heard a lot about the Grand Canyon,Hong Kong’s version of the Grand Canyon – Pineapple Hill, but have you ever seen a sightseeing elevator in a grand canyon? This time, we’re introducing theChinaHunan,Chongqing,Hubeijunction where the Enshi Grand Canyon is located.

The Enshi Grand Canyon is known as the most beautiful canyon in the world, featuring dramatic cliffside galleries, hundreds of peaks, and cascading waterfalls — truly an amazing attraction. But who would’ve thought they’d go all out and build the world’s longest sightseeing elevator here!

This elevator is 688 meters long, built along the mountain in a "Σ" shape, exuding great presence, and allowing visitors to slowly admire the geological wonders of the Enshi Grand Canyon.

It’s said that this elevator can accommodate 600,000 visitors per year, averaging 7,000 people per hour. But if it were up to me, I’d prefer fewer people around to better enjoy the scenery of Enshi!
