Yizhang Mangshan advances barrier-free tourism and county-level cultural tourism development

Yizhang, Hunan, is using Mangshan's creation of a national 5A-level tourist attraction as a lever to advance the construction of barrier-free tourism facilities. According to a report on November 10, 2026, the locality has invested cumulatively more than 1 billion yuan in building barrier-free facilities, including 12 cloud ladders, 4 vertical elevators, 7 hoists, a 3.7-kilometer high-mountain cableway, and an 8.7-kilometer cloud walkway, creating a "mountain you don't have to climb." Since the barrier-free facilities were put into operation, they have served 826,000 people aged 60 and above and 52,000 people with disabilities. From January to October 2026, Mangshan received 45,000 inbound tourists, including 25,000 South Korean tourists, accounting for 56%.
