China's Most Unreasonable Cable Car: Anyone Can Ride for Free, and You Can Watch a Show Along the Way

When it comes to cable cars, I believe everyone is familiar with them. Nowadays, almost all mountain-type scenic spots have cable cars. They are not only a means of transportation but also a mobile sightseeing platform, deeply loved by tourists. They save time and effort, and allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery from different perspectives. For modern people living a fast-paced life, it's simply perfect.

Although many scenic spots are building cable cars, there are still many people unwilling to take them. Why? Some might say it's because of a fear of heights, but those afraid of heights are actually a minority. More people feel that the cost of a cable car is too expensive. A typical one-way trip costs 50-80 yuan, and round trips are basically over 100 yuan. I recall reading an article online that complained about a cable car in Qiandao Lake charging 30 yuan for a one-way trip, saying it was too short and too expensive.

Indeed, building cable cars requires construction costs and substantial maintenance fees. Even cross-river cable cars like those in Chongqing charge a fee, partly to control passenger flow and partly to cover maintenance costs. If the price is not too high, I believe everyone can understand.

However, there are exceptions. Today I encountered an unreasonable cable car. Not only is there no ticket required—anyone can ride for free—but you can also enjoy a beautiful musical fountain show while riding. I believe many people find this hard to understand. Don't they need construction costs? Don't they need maintenance costs?

By now, many friends are probably wondering: Where is this cable car? Is it real? Could it be that the editor made it up to attract traffic? Let me clarify here: it is indeed real. Anyone can ride it without spending a single cent.

This cable car is located at the Wynn Palace hotel in the Macau Special Administrative Region. It is a seven-star luxury hotel. In front of the hotel is a large artificial lake, and this cable car is built around the lake. Anyone can ride it, whether you are a guest of the hotel or not, whether you have spent money in the hotel or not. Just like the free shuttle buses at the border gate, it is open to all members of society. As long as you go to its station, you can ride at any time.

It’s worth mentioning that while riding the cable car, you can not only see the exterior of Wynn Palace but also enjoy the spectacular musical fountain show on the artificial lake, all while taking in the surrounding scenery of Macau. The views are very beautiful and absolutely worth experiencing for anyone traveling to Macau.

Look at the words above the station: "Free Cable Car Ride to Wynn Palace." It’s worth noting that if you want to ride another round after finishing, you don't have to get off. You can stay on and ride as many times as you like without any charge—all free, completely free, entirely free. That’s how extravagant it is.

This is the unreasonable cable car. The full ride takes about twenty minutes. The equipment is state-of-the-art, and riding is very smooth. Elderly people and children can ride as well. This is definitely one of the most unique cable cars in China. If you also travel to Macau, you can experience it if you have the chance—you will not be disappointed.
