The Kind Of Thing You’d Think WE’D Do!

Far be it from me to toot China’s horn, but the fatty-man in me has to respect THIS . . . China is adding OUTDOOR ESCALATORS up the side of mountains, so people with mobility issues, older folks, and LAZY people can get to the top to see the view, without having to hike up the side. Local reaction has been mixed. Some say it’s great that these experiences are more accessible, but others say it takes “the fun out of hiking up the mountains” (although, you’d assume that’s still possible, just like how there’s nothing stopping you from taking the stairs). Here’s some footage from a new one that’s supposed to open in May.
