Bali halts 182-meter glass elevator project at Kelingking Beach over environmental and safety concerns.
Bali has halted construction of an 182-meter glass elevator at Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida due to environmental concerns, safety risks, and lack of proper permits.
The project, led by Chinese developer China Kaishi Group, faced backlash for damaging the natural landscape and potentially accelerating erosion.
Authorities cited violations of spatial planning laws and threats to the area’s ecological and cultural integrity.
While the lift aimed to reduce access time from 45 to 60 minutes to near-instant, critics called it a costly "vanity project" and urged repairing existing trails instead.
The suspension reflects growing tensions over tourism development and conservation, especially amid increasing Chinese investment in Bali.
