More about

THE PROJECT

The Enshi Grand Canyon in Hubei province is one of the most remarkable tourist parks in China. POMA had already installed an 8-seater gondola lift there in 2013, which was renovated in 2020 to ensure its long-term operation.

Now, at the request of its customer ECOTIC, who manages the development of tourism at the site, POMA has built a funicular railway, leading visitors from the Tourism Centre, with its hotels, restaurants, car parks and ticket office, to a natural area. This is a soft and sustainable mobility solution that can do the work of a fleet of buses and so help to protect the environment of this exceptional site.  It is fitted with the POMA variable frequency drive and DirectDrive® subsystem, which is a first in the entire Asia region.

The funicular railway ends at the foot of the gondola lift. This gives tourists quick and easy access to the various hiking trails that are very close to the gondola lift departure and arrival stations, as well as the essential spots like the “incense pillar” and the “castle”, unique 500 m high limestone rock formations.

More about

The project

South Korea is developing its tourist transport offer and offering new experiences, drawing on POMA's expertise. This dynamic is rooted in the commercial success of the Yeosu cable car built by POMA in 2014.

The tourism objective of the gondola lift project is to link the city of Mokpo and the island of Gohado. The link, which stretches over more than 3 km, passes through the famous Yudalsan Sculpture Park and its Gatbawi rock, a popular site with Koreans and international tourists alike. The trip, aboard one of the 55 cabins—1/3 of which have a glass floor—is accessible to all travellers and offers a breathtaking view of the city, the archipelago and the ocean at an unprecedented and impressive height of nearly 150 m at its highest point, that of the tallest concrete tower ever made anywhere in the world.

The Mokpo gondola lift holds another record: its cabins travel over the ocean for 955 m, the longest span of rope between two towers in the world for a monocable ropeway!

A 68° angle

for the middle station

The middle station has an angle of 68°. It allows the gondola lift, once it has crossed the sea stretch, to reach the city of Mokpo by travelling over Dalseong Park, the 12 monumental sculptures of Yudalsan, the sanctuaries and the many hiking paths etched into this mountain, without altering this unique site.

Two records

for this gondola lift

In 2019, with the Mokpo gondola lift, POMA produced its longest span of rope between two towers (955m) and the tallest cement tower (132 m), meaning that South Korea boasts the world’s highest journey ever made by monocable ropeway.

No sea-based

towers

The ropeway was designed so that no tower would need to be installed in the sea, so as not to interfere with maritime traffic. Taking this major technical constraint as its starting point, the POMA teams designed an extraordinary ropeway system.

Two records

for this gondola lift

In 2019, with the Mokpo gondola lift, POMA produced its longest span of rope between two towers (955m) and the tallest cement tower (132 m), meaning that South Korea boasts the world’s highest journey ever made by monocable ropeway.

No sea-based

towers

The ropeway was designed so that no tower would need to be installed in the sea, so as not to interfere with maritime traffic. Taking this major technical constraint as its starting point, the POMA teams designed an extraordinary ropeway system.
