Hiking is hard work. So we're not surprised when we end up writing about ways to make it easier, whether that's the "lazy man hiking experiment" of tying a helium balloon to your backpack to lighten your load, or using an exoskeleton to help you climb the UK's highest mountain. Now, a sprawling system of escalators has been developed on a mountain China to help visitors scale a gnarly peak without ever even entering heart rate zone 1.
New drone footage of the project at Lingshan Scenic Area has emerged on News Flare, showing what looks like dozens of escalators ascending thousands of feet. According to the post, the project is nearing completion, with the escalators scheduled to open to the public next month.
