Record: China inaugurates the longest (and most impressive) glass bridge in the world
The Canary Islands.The best water park in the world is in Spain for the seventh consecutive year
China is the country of records.
As an example, the
Asian giant
inaugurated just a week ago the longest glass bridge in the world, but shortly before it had released Crystal, the tallest horizontal skyscraper in the world.
Yes, horizontal, included in the
Guinness Book.
The
architectural
follies
do not end here, but it also has the most impressive and extreme amusement park in the world,
not suitable for all types of audiences.
Its name is Wansheng Ordovician and it is located in Chongqing, on a peninsula
on the Yangtze River
, in the center of the country.
There this tourist complex rises built on top of a mountain at more than
1,300 meters high
.
Hence, the views of the wild nature that populates the place are already an incentive to get to know it.
A harness, the only protection
Then there would be the desire to release adrenaline from its visitors, which before the Covid-19 pandemic reached 7,000 every day.
For starters, the park (whose entrance is
180 yuan, a
little less than 23 euros) has a Tibetan-style bridge suspended
123 meters high
without any type of net or railing.
The only restraint that people who jump to try it have is a harness.
In addition, the boards on which you have to pass are separated by a distance that reaches 1.2 meters in some sections, so you have to jump.
In other parts of the route you have to pull ropes to pass the bridge.
Crystal walkways of the Chinese park.
There are several other bridges within the Wansheng Ordovician, such as the one that is
raised 150 meters above a cliff
, made up of a series of hollow metal rods, so that it becomes more slippery.
The same happens with a third suspension bridge whose floor is rope, so
stability shines, once again, by its absence
.
The harness is once again the only protection for daring tourists.
Between rocky walls
Another of the complicated tests of the theme park is the
Sky Porch,
a completely transparent glass platform in the shape of an A that looks out above the
Taurus waterfall
, located more than 300 meters high.
In addition, it has an appendix that protrudes from a rocky wall supported
by steel cables
.
We are facing
the longest attraction in the world
of these extreme characteristics, as the Guinness Book of Records has certified.
As if that were not enough, there is the option of camping on this transparent walkway and spending the night on it.
The swings of Wansheng Ordovician.
There is more to
Wansheng Ordovician
, as one can also climb on a swing that swings more than 300 meters over a dizzying cliff.
The feeling of
falling into the void
is brutal, according to those who have tried the experience.
The theme park also offers
canyoning, kayaking or hiking activities
, too light for the more restless souls who usually end up here.
