Since spring 2016, a ropeway has crossed the
strait in the famous Ha Long Bay, enabling visitors
to travel in comfort to an impressive observation
wheel. The Ha Long Queen Cable Car has
simultaneously broken two world records. The
two double-decker carriers, each built to carry
230 passengers, are the biggest aerial tramway
cabins anywhere in the world to date. The steel
ropes are supported by two towers, one of which
is the world’s tallest ropeway tower rising up to a
height of 188.88 meters. Passengers enjoy breathtaking
views of the unique natural scenery. Installing
the ropes was a particular challenge. As Ha
Long Bay plays a major role in cargo shipping with
large vessels, the entire rope installation operation
had to be performed at a height of 50 meters above
sea level.
Two world records: Biggest aerial tramway
cabin and tallest ropeway tower
