BEAUTIFUL!!! Old Mitsubishi Electric Traction Elevators at CITIC Hotel in Beijing, China

Filmed on May 20, 2018: First off, I want to with Julien (Floridian Elevators) a VERY Happy Birthday!!! :D I can't think of a great way to celebrate his birthday is a ride on these MOST BEAUTIFUL old 90's Mitsubishi Electric elevators! Not too old to be vintage, but still beautiful with your decor. Now this is what I call a REAL elevator! What is a REAL elevator? it is a high-quality old historic, ancient, antique, vintage elevator with a beautiful looking cab (handcrafted wood walls with mirrors bolted on, old black handrails, marble flooring, and small circle lights), old-fashion style COP (control operating panel), original old equipments (motor, relays, generators, etc.), old classic mechanical bell chimes, and that they are very well made designing to last forever. I honestly do not know at all if these are relay-logic or not unlike all old vintage elevators, but I am emphasizing my general definition of what a REAL elevator is in comparison of elevators you see today (cheaply made pieces of junk with stainless steel, ultra-thin aluminum parts made directly from foreign countries, super plain basic, generic, very slow, boring, and are not designed to last). Although, some modern elevators could be a real elevator, but 95% of them made today are not even real elevators based on the built quality. As for the video, these are by far THE MOST ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL elevators I had ever been on in my life!!!!! I love the handcrafted wooden walls with a black railing inside the cabs! The old-school bell chimes are music to my ears as well. Last but not least, I LOVE these buttons!!!! :D And I want to say A HUGE THANKS to the awesome receptionist for allowing me to have this room key just to ride these beautiful old elevators up and down! The hotel itself is very nice as well. FYI, the reason why I blurred the TV screen on one of the elevators is 'cause there was advertisement on the screen and I don't want to get a copyright. But with that said, enjoy a ride on these beauties... and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JULIEN!!!! :D Installed in 1990.
