Nestled in the mountainous terrain of Wushan county of Chongqing, the Wushan Goddess Escalator is a pioneering project along the vertical axis of Goddess Avenue. This extensive network comprises 21 escalators, eight elevators (including accessible ones on footbridges), four moving walkways, two pedestrian bridges, and two cross-line passages.
It spans approximately 905 meters, surpassing the length of the Chongqing Crown Escalator, and boasts an impressive elevation gain of over 240 meters, the equivalent of an 80-story building.
