Design planning

Bailong TIANTI Zhangjiajie shuirao four door sightseeing elevator (changed to Zhangjiajie Bailong TIANTI Tourism Development Co., Ltd. on February 13, 2003) is constructed in accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of construction and Hunan Provincial Department of construction, through the discussion of relevant national and provincial professional and well-known experts for many times, and according to the general planning of Wulingyuan scenic spot approved by the State Council in 1993 Around 1999, after repeated scheme comparison and expert argumentation, the site was carefully selected. At the same time, according to the "Regulations on the planning and construction management of scenic spots and scenic spots" issued by the Ministry of construction in 1993, the "approval letter for site selection of scenic spots and scenic spots construction project" was issued. According to the document requirements of the Ministry of construction jianchengjinghan [2003] No. 140 "on revising and adjusting the master plan of Wulingyuan scenic spot" and the document requirements of Hunan Provincial Department of construction "about the four gates of water around Wulingyuan scenic spot" The report of "elevator expert demonstration situation" strongly demonstrates the necessity of building Bailong TIANTI.

The report clearly points out that Zhangjiajie Bailong TIANTI is a legal construction project constructed according to the construction procedures stipulated by the state. Its construction is conducive to the realization of the overall requirements of Wulingyuan scenic spot for "living in the upper and lower reaches of the mountain", the renovation of reception facilities in the core scenic spot, the improvement of tourism efficiency and the convenience of tourists, and truly embodies the principle of "people-oriented".

The construction of Bailong TIANTI has passed the strict examination of the Provincial Planning Commission, construction, environmental protection, land, fire protection, forestry, electric power and other departments, and started after the approval. Each department has carried out a comprehensive evaluation on the engineering quality of elevator, the stability engineering of mountain, the engineering geological evaluation, the safety of elevator engineering, the inspection of elevator equipment, and the safe operation of elevator At the same time, we also organized well-known Chinese experts to demonstrate the safety acceptance, relevant technical data and legal construction procedures of the elevator. The expert group believes that it meets the requirements of national and provincial documents and acceptance specifications, and can be put into operation, which provides a scientific basis for the construction and safe operation of Bailong TIANTI.

TIANTI contribution

Bailong TIANTI provides convenient transportation for tourists, greatly promotes the relocation of hotels, residents and other reception facilities in the scenic area, and provides the greatest and most effective protection for the environment. Yuanjiajie is another scenic spot of Wulingyuan World Natural Heritage. In the past, tourists had to walk more than three hours on a dangerous mountain road. If they take a bus from the lower water of the mountain to yuanjiajie, the rugged mountain road is very dangerous. The journey is more than 170 kilometers, which takes more than five hours. Since the completion of Bailong TIANTI, the time has been shortened to 1 minute 32 seconds, which is a miracle. Domestic experts on the protection of world natural heritage have made an environmental assessment of Bailong and come to the conclusion that the advantages of retaining Bailong elevator outweigh the disadvantages. If there is no Bailong elevator, the service facilities on the mountain will overflow. In the past, there were a large number of hotels, family hotels, residents and other reception facilities in Tianzishan, yuanjiajie and shuirao four gates, and the demand was in short supply in peak season, which had a very serious impact on the environment. To this end, Zhangjiajie Municipal Party committee and government have taken measures to remove about 300 hotels, residents and other living facilities, effectively controlling the reception facilities, so as to protect the environment most effectively. Nowadays, Bailong TIANTI greatly shortens the travel time, facilitates the transportation, and tourists do not need to stay in the mountains, which further reduces the impact on the environment.

Bailong TIANTI has promoted the current economic development. After more than four years of safe operation, Bailong TIANTI has no safety accident and major complaints from tourists. It has developed from more than 30 employees to nearly 200 employees. It has made great contributions to the local tourism economic development and social employment. It has paid about 15 million yuan in various taxes for the country and more than 12 million yuan in "two sessions and one fund" It has received about 30 million Chinese and foreign tourists.

Bailong TIANTI is a beautiful scenery in Zhangjiajie.
