182-metre glass lift will transport tourists down the cliffside at popular Kelingking Beach in symbolic project backed by Chinese investment
“The roads are really poor,” Zhang said as her group stopped above the T. Rex-shaped headland – a unique land mass that has made Kelingking one of the world’s most photographed beaches.
Her group opted against hiking down a steep, sun-exposed trail to the beach’s crescent of white sand, which abuts vertical limestone cliffs.
“I’m tired and not going down there myself.”
Construction cranes operate daily, lowering workers on suspended platforms over the shaft, where pieces of the lift are being attached to the cliff from the beach upwards.
