When it comes to the attractions with the highest exit rate among today's popular online short videos, Chongqing Wansheng Dream Ordovician Theme Park is definitely one of them. Whenever people shiver on the glass trestle or let themselves fly on the suspended swing, the popularity of the scenic spot also grows.
The Ordovician refers to the geological epoch of the Second Paleozoic Era (the emergence of primitive vertebrates), an era of frequent volcanic activity and crustal movements. The predecessor of Wansheng Dream Ordovician Theme Park was a geopark that pursued entertainment and education with Ordovician geology and natural ecology as a selling point, but the amusement facilities built later were obviously more attractive to tourists, so now two areas of amusement area and natural sightseeing area have been formed.
Fantastic Ordovician theme park位于万盛黑山之巅,海拔1300米,园区因地制宜,打造了“八大高空项目”、“丛林飞跃&高空速滑”两个当下十分火热的游玩区,而“科幻梦工厂”以及地貌奇观景点则相对冷清,但更具有教育意义。
The high-altitude projects include "Sky Hanging Corridor", "Cliff Swing", "Extreme Leap", "Cloud Covered Bridge", "Glass Suspension Bridge", "Step by Step", "High-altitude Bridge", "High-altitude Walk", among which the most representative are the first three projects. The "Sky Hanging Corridor" is nearly 300 meters above the ground and 80 meters outward, making it the world's longest cantilevered aerial glass corridor, and the scenic spot has also successfully applied for the Guinness World Records for this purpose. The hanging corridor is in the shape of "A", and the transparent glass paves the entire bridge deck, so that visitors can see the 100-meter cliff scenery at their feet, and the experience is relatively novel. Standing at the top of the covered bridge, the scenery of the scenic spot is unobstructed, and the cool breeze is blowing, adding a different kind of enjoyment. As the name suggests, there are 4, 8 and 16 cliff swings of more lengths to choose from, and the larger the amplitude, the longer the rope, the more exciting the experience. The number of people in line at the "Extreme Leap" is staggering, but in the end, there are far fewer people who can stand up. At an altitude of 300 meters, there are multiple metal steel beam air treads on the edge of the cliff, ranging from 0.8 meters to 2.5 meters apart, and visitors must run and leap through quickly. Because of the high difficulty, many tourists will turn to the area to experience the "step by step" with a suspension height of 150 meters and an average gap of 30 centimeters. It is worth noting that in 2018, due to improper operation by the staff, a tourist fell off the safety rope safety buckle behind his back after experiencing the "Extreme Leap" project, and the related video caused an uproar. Now the two projects of "Extreme Leap" and "Step by Step Shock" have been ordered by relevant departments to stop operation. In short, visitors should pay attention to their own safety when experiencing such activities with certain risks.
“丛林飞跃&高空速滑”有两个项目,前者是穿梭林间的吊桥,游客步行其上需注意一步一板,速度太快可能干扰到他人;后者则是高空滑索,有多种高度与长度可选,满足不同游客的“飞翔”需求。
Pure sightseeing spots are a little less popular, but they're also worth seeing. Ordovician Stone Forest Scenic Area is one of the most intact and most concentrated Ordovician stone forest landscapes that have been found in China, there are hundreds of strange stone pinnacles inside, intertwined with the forest, constituting an intricate road, known as "there is a forest in the stone, there is a stone in the forest" reputation, the former mountain people also call this "ghost forest". The general's defense of the city, the ice cave, and the lookout tower are also all landmark attractions in the park.
The Ordovician Theme Park is more than 120 kilometers away from downtown Chongqing, and visitors are advised to drive there and spend a day playing.
