Gulucun Cable Car is a aerial tramway connecting the two mountain villages of Gulu and Maping deep within the Dadu River Canyon in Hanyuan, Sichuan, China.
A local 2-lane road on the Gulu side allows access to the west station while the east station can only be reached via a steep trail that rises more than 500 meters from the Dadu River level to the village of Maping.
Prior to the completion of the cable car in 2017, villagers used a simple ropeway with a small steel cage to transfer animals and other cargo goods across the Laochang gorge.
The tramway car reaches a height of 400 meters above the creek making it the second highest passenger tramway in the world along with the Kitzbühel 3S Cable Car in Austria and just behind the 436 meter high Peak 2 Peak Gondola in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.
The mouth of the Laochang creek is crossed by the famous Yixiantian stone railway bridge.
