According to plans, up to 6 million passengers will take the ropeway each year.
The project is likely to be a huge boost for tourism in the area.
In early September 2016, Alexander Kozlov, governor of the Amur region, announced that the construction of the ropeway in Russia will begin later this year.
The project will be completed by 2019 at a total of approximately $250 mln.
