A glass lift being built into one of Bali\u2019s most photographed cliffs has triggered outrage from locals and travellers after viral photos showed construction piercing through the island\u2019s iconic Kelingking Beach \u2013 a site often nicknamed the \u201cT-Rex\u201d or \u201cdinosaur\u201d cliff for its striking shape.<\/p>\n

The 182-metre-high lift and adjoining 64-metre bridge are being built by Chinese developer China Kaishi Group<\/span> to replace the steep and often treacherous hike down to the beach on Nusa Penida, a small island off Bali\u2019s southeast coast. The project is valued at more than 10 million yuan (US$1.4 million).<\/div>\n

But when images of the lift shaft cutting through the iconic ridge began circulating online this week, many Indonesians were quick to denounce the project as a violation of the island\u2019s natural beauty.<\/p>\n

Captioning a before and after photo of the cliff, social media user pendakilawas wrote: \u201cHonestly, it looks so ugly, it reminds me of a foreigner who said he went to Bali or Indonesia\u2019s natural attractions not to enjoy 5-star hotels or any luxurious facilities, but to purely enjoy the beauty of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a shame that the beautiful view of Kelingking Beach has been destroyed by the lift project,\u201d local resident Made Sediana told the Bali Sun newspaper. \u201cTourists come to Nusa Penida to enjoy the beautiful panorama, not the lifts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
