I count there was like about twelve escalators like this one (each may be about three/four levels height). Still wondering how could those escalators built inside the cliff next to the Tian Men mountain.
As we have to follow the tour's schedule, we didn't really climb those steps to the gate, but instead with a cable car we arrived at the top instantly, and then by escalator, we were down too immediately.
It's like an instant package, and we lose the "sensation" of the difficulties to reach the "heaven's gate". Also there's at one place where we took a super fast lift to the top of the cliff, and we went down by cable car quite fast too.
It's like all in an instant movement. But most of the participants in our group are senior citizens too, who may not want such "experience" anymore.
