The oldest elevator in China

The oldest elevator in China is located in a hotel in Harbin called Grand Gongguan 1903.

In addition to the unique decoration and objects of this hotel, Grand Mansion 1903, there is another thing that must be mentioned is the elevator. Its elevators are not the ones we see everywhere now, but they are also more than 100 years old.

There are only 2 elevators of this kind in China, and the other one is in another hotel in Shanghai. Its speed itself is very slow, which makes people feel safe and at the same time, it is easy to experience the stability and sense of the times. The most interesting thing is its elevator door, which is still in the style of an iron fence. When we usually take the elevator, the door opens and closes automatically after pressing the floor. But in this elevator, the door has to be opened and closed manually.

Precautions for taking the elevator

1. Confirm whether the elevator is operating normally: Before entering the elevator, you need to confirm whether the elevator is operating normally. This can be confirmed by observing the elevator door, display screen, etc. If you find something unusual in the elevator, you should stop using it immediately and look for other exits or ask for help.

2. Enter and exit the elevator in the correct way: Before entering the elevator, you need to press the floor button and wait for the elevator to reach the designated floor before entering the elevator. When leaving the elevator, you also need to press the button for the corresponding floor and wait for the elevator door to fully open before going out.

3. Do not move or squeeze at will: When riding in the elevator, do not move or squeeze others at will to avoid unnecessary injuries. At the same time, do not extend your arms or other objects out of the elevator door to avoid accidents.
