🚆 China’s cliff train at Dajue Mountain 🇨🇳
At Dajue Mountain Scenic Area in Jiangxi, China, an electric straddle-type monorail takes visitors along the mountain slope and close to the cliff face.
The CRRC-developed sightseeing system has an 11.8 km route, with more than one third of it running along the cliff at around 850–1,150 metres above sea level. Each six-car train carries about 56 passengers — built more for gradients, curves and views than for speed.
Technically, it is not a conventional railway. It is a purpose-built mountain sightseeing monorail, designed to turn a steep tourist route into a rail-based ride through rock, forest and cloud.
