A new 8-passenger gondola lift is progressing in Jinding, China
Near the city of Yining in Xinjiang, construction is progressing on the new Jinding–Alimali ropeway, designed to provide comfortable access to the surrounding mountains and support tourism development in the region.
Spanning approximately 1.4 kilometres, the ropeway will connect the lower station at an elevation of 2,127 metres with the upper station at 2,359 metres above sea level.
The ropeway will feature 31 panoramic gondolas designed by Studio F. A. Porsche, each accommodating up to eight passengers, and will offer a transport capacity of up to 1,500 passengers per hour. The journey will take less than five minutes.
Construction is progressing according to schedule, with work currently underway on the lower station and preparations for the next project phases continuing.
