Day 1: Ordovician, Hanging Corridor - Journey to Wonderland

Speaking of Chongqing, besides hot pot and beautiful women, what else do you think of? Maybe things that are too ordinary can no longer satisfy the adventurous heart of contemporary people. Boys who follow TikTok should know that Chongqing Wansheng Ordovician has long been known as the best scenic spot for Internet celebrities. If you travel to Chongqing, you must go here to feel its charm.

Some people say that this place is the door to the new world, some people say that there is no "regret medicine for sale" here, and some people say that the cliffs here are like a fairyland. So what is the real Ordovician?

Congratulations on your visit to the Ordovician. I very much agree with your friend. If you want me to evaluate it, there is nothing better than one word "cool". If you are also a person who likes to be exposed to new things, seeks excitement, and has extraordinary feelings, then you must go to Ordovician, open this door, and walk in here in a down-to-earth way, where online celebrities are ignited by the world of TikTok. Attractions to experience the real and exciting feeling of the Ordovician.

Based on the name of Ordovician, some people may think that this place is as literary and artistic as the streets of Chongqing, but this is not the case. Ordovician is actually located in Wansheng District, Chongqing, located in the core scenic area of ??Stone Forest Scenic Area. The scenic area is about 1,300 meters above sea level, and the average summer temperature is generally 23°C.

Here is not only the legendary world wonder of "there are rocks in the forest, trees on the rocks, and trees and rocks still exist", but also a natural giant oxygen bar with a forest coverage rate of 97%. . Therefore, when you travel here, you can not only experience the exciting rides, but also enjoy the fairyland-like scenery.

Some people may be curious, why does such an exciting place have such a name? In fact, "Ordovician" is the name of a geological era. It is the second period of the Paleozoic Era, which lasted 42 million years from 480 million years ago to 440 million years ago. Primitive vertebrates appeared.

So here, you will have a "thrilling" close contact with nature. If someone likes to say that "playing is about heartbeat", then Ordovician is undoubtedly the best choice.

On the day I went to the Ordovician, there was a drizzle in the misty sky. The raindrops dripped on my skin, making it feel more delicate. Entering the park from the west gate, the first visual impact is the Sky Gallery on the cliff hundreds of meters high. It holds the Guinness World Record as the longest suspended glass gallery in the world.

The covered bridge is suspended on a 300-meter-high cliff. Looking up from under the covered bridge, the corridor extends nearly 69.6 meters along the cliff. The "A"-shaped covered corridor in front seems to have entered a sea of ??mist-filled clouds. The clouds are shrouded in mist, and from a distance, it is deep.

The mist in the distance seems to be a charming woman. She walked gently and slowly along the 200-meter covered bridge, revealing the green mountains under the bridge. Her hazy figure makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. Walking on the suspended corridor makes people "unable to leave".

When I stepped onto this covered bridge to enjoy the beautiful scenery from the sky, I found that my legs no longer seemed to be my own. The bridge body of the suspended corridor bridge narrows from the inside to the outside, and the bridge deck is paved with fully transparent glass. Every step I take on it is like stepping on a cloud, high above, for fear that I will fall into dust in the next step just after I step into the fairyland.

Cloud Covered Bridge - other mountains look dwarfed under the sky.

After passing through the longest aerial project in the world, the next step is the relatively relaxing Yunlang Bridge, a high-altitude corridor where you can experience "panoramic mountain views." It is 35 meters outside the cliff. It is a "U" shaped glass corridor, above the natural scene of the high-altitude hanging wall. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, this is also a good place to vent yourself. With the sound of your heart beating, you can immerse yourself in the experience of nature. In front of me is a bottomless valley, surrounded by waves of smoke. It really has the feeling of "misty waves, hidden and dangerous peaks, different up and down, different left and right".

Horror Swing - No Regret Medicine

After successfully passing through the mountain fog, you will come into contact with the most popular item among TikTok Internet celebrities - the cliff swing. Walking near this project, you can always hear all kinds of cries. This is the real "brave time", because the swing will fly several meters off the platform while standing on the edge of a mountaintop cliff more than 300 meters high. Anyone who has played it will basically be scared to tears. There are two types of Ordovician online celebrity swings. One is the relatively relaxed cliff swing, which will fly out about 4 to 8 meters in the platform, which is relatively relaxed. The other is a scary swing without the regret medicine.

Maybe it’s because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so they boldly tried the 18m and 21m scary swings. As you sit on the swing, your body gradually rises, waiting for its strength. At that moment, the regret in my heart seemed as deep as a deep valley, and the cliff in front of me was shrouded in mist, with no end in sight. When I came down from the swing, I felt like ashes, and I really wanted to buy a regret medicine. But at the last moment, I could only "go with the flow". As the swing begins. However, when the swing was returned to the cliff, my mood gradually returned to calm. At this moment, I was as light as a floating cloud, and everything seemed to be in one. In this world, I am the only one flying in the sky. This kind of crying and joyful thing is probably rare in other places.

Go high - be a flying fairy.

After playing on the swing, you might as well go to the high altitude next to you to experience the speed and passion. The aircraft is also built on the edge of the cliff, and the experiencer gradually rises as the seat rotates to the relaxing melody. This project allows people to feel the feeling of close contact with the clouds in the sky. The foggy weather is swirling in the sky, making people feel like they are flying fairies outside the sky. The rotating design of the machine allows people to view the surrounding natural scenery in all directions, just like a bird soaring in the sky.

Cliff Jumper-Facing the Abyss

I believe many people have played jumping machines, but how many people have experienced it? Yes, as the name suggests, the cliff jumping machine is an upgraded version of the terrifying cliff jumping machine located on the edge of the cliff. And the excitement of this Ordovician cliff jumping machine can make your adrenaline soar just by looking at it. The machine is 24 meters long. When it reaches its highest point, how many people can directly see the entire process of this project by looking at the cliff below? The overall feeling of weightlessness is very strong. Even if everyone is beaten to death, only the screams echoing in the valley can face the abyss!

Cliff pager - free rotation 360 degrees

Speaking of screaming, if you want to really let yourself fly in the air and scream involuntarily, then this must be the cliff pager. Its label is high-altitude excitement and extreme screaming. When the experiencer sits on the seat, he not only has to be shaken by the huge steel arms in the air, but also rotates freely 360 degrees at high altitude, allowing people to rise continuously. The buttocks originally sitting on the seat couldn't even reach the sides, and the high-speed airflow could even pinch his face.

Three consecutive jumps for lost souls - the ultimate leap on thin ice in Bu Bu Jing's heart

After calling the pager, it's time to experience the most heart-wrenching project in the entire scenic spot. These three consecutive jumps were like walking on thin ice, shocking every step and leaping to the limit. Walking on thin ice is relatively simple.

This project is an air pedal connected by metal steel beams, spaced at an average distance of 30cm. The challenge factor is low, but you must not underestimate it. Maybe "the little board of friendship will be turned over after you finish talking about it"! Bu Bu Jing Xin is an advanced version of walking on thin ice, challenging an ultra-narrow wooden bridge and a swinging ultra-narrow wooden pedal. If you don't have enough balance, of course you can't control it! The scariest thing is the extreme leap. It looks farther from the air, and you can only understand what "walking on thin ice" means when you go up there and play. Although there will be protective measures later during the experience, you still have to break through yourself at every step before you can jump. It’s true that “people are walking in front, but souls are chasing behind”!

Glass suspension bridge - cannot be moved

Ximen chose a glass suspension bridge for its last project, which is the first fully transparent high-altitude glass suspension bridge in Southwest China. It challenges the glass suspension bridge. In addition to the spectacular scenery, it is also exciting. Because the suspension bridge itself is suspended on a 300-meter cliff, walking in the middle part of the bridge will sway from side to side. Most people who walk on it are careful and cling to the support netting next to it. How many people cannot move in the 150-meter-span aerial passage? But if you dare to look directly at your feet, the spectacular scenery of the deep mountains and old forests below will make you appreciate the unique charm of the natural landscape here!

Extreme Water Challenge - A great place to travel with families and kids.

After visiting several classic projects in Ximen, you might as well go to Zhongmen to experience the relatively leisurely projects. From the west gate to the middle gate, you can take a car ferry. Ticket price is 10 yuan. If you like exercise, you can also walk, which takes about 20 minutes. The water extreme challenge near Zhongmen is a good place for family travel with a low degree of difficulty. There are two highlights here. The first one is to climb the tire, which tests the coordination of the limbs! Another thing is fast tires. This project consists of a series of floating tires. You need to run over the tire quickly and cannot stay on the tire, otherwise you will definitely fall into the water. The key to the success of this project is speed. It's okay to run fast, but you will definitely fall into the water!

Crossing the jungle - being a primitive Tarzan

Outdoor sports, such as jungle leaping, are originally natural sports that spread positive energy and can improve people's spiritual life level and quality. . So, when you come to visit the Ordovician, you must not miss Brave. The jungle leap here mainly consists of setting and building various levels on the trees to form tree exploration activities of different difficulties, styles and stimulation intensity. Team interaction and coordination are extremely high. While walking through the jungle here, people can also embrace nature and return to their original nature.

When I took a day trip to the Ordovician, I was shocked just to see these facilities that were superior to nature. However, after bravely trying the scary facilities here, I still sighed and sighed from the bottom of my heart. Admire. Isn’t the point of traveling to experience a new life and face your fears, in such an exciting and relaxing place? If it's your first time here, would you dare to go again?

The glory of the mountain city in the 20th century

When you are in Chongqing, if you don’t take a trip to Danzishi Old Street, your journey will be full of regrets. So we chose to visit Marble Old Street on our second day’s itinerary. There is actually a very interesting legend behind the name of marble. Marble was originally called the birthstone. It is said that during Dayu's flood control period, she was very dedicated and did not enter the house three times. Dayu's wife waited all day for her husband's return and gradually turned into a Wang Mi stone. This stone later gave birth to her son Xia Qi, so it was named longevity stone. In the oral tradition of later generations, the longevity stone was written as marble stone.

Marble is a street formed around the Wang Family Courtyard. At the beginning of the 20th century, Marble Stone, as one of the earliest ports in Chongqing, greatly promoted the development of Sino-foreign trade, causing a large number of foreign businessmen to gather here. Foreign and domestic products are distributed on the marble floor, and almost everything people need in daily life can be purchased here.

When the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1931, Chongqing’s terrain was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Then the National Government moved to Chongqing, and Marble Stone Street ushered in the most prosperous period in its life. There are the treasury, state-owned banks and the largest cotton mill in mainland China. Of course, marble stone is "expensive", but the kiosks, shoe stalls, and teahouses on the streets are still there. You can hear the melodious sound of Sichuan Opera in the teahouse all day long, and local Chongqing people who have nothing to do often go to the Marble Teahouse to entertain themselves.

Unfortunately, the brilliance of marble comes and goes quickly, like a flash in the pan. After the Shiban Yangtze River Bridge was opened to traffic, Marble Street became much depressed. Occasionally, you can see a few figures on the street, but they are just old people born and raised in marble.

With their curved backs, marble looks more deserted, no longer a paradise for dignitaries.

Times have changed. Chongqing, as one of the four municipalities directly under the Central Government, is developing rapidly, and marble stones cannot avoid being demolished. However, when it was demolished, it was reborn surrounded by high-rise buildings. In fact, the old streets are the feelings, and the buildings are all new. However, the buildings on Danzishi Old Street still follow the traditional architectural forms of Sichuan and Chongqing. Changjiahui Shopping Park, Wangjia Courtyard and Sunjia Garden remain the most popular attractions on Danzishi Old Street. The old streets are newly built, but the humanistic sentiments are old. Although there is no trace of the original work here, the sense of pride and belonging that arises is real.

The World with Qianxun

In Chongqing, the place with the same historical story as Marble Old Street is Hong Yadong. In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Dai Ding built Chongqing City and built seventeen gates with "nine openings and eight closings". Hongyamen is one of the closed gates. Although towers and gates are built, there is no gate, so you can't get in or get out. It is purely for military purposes. Hongyamen faces the Jialing River and can control a long stretch of the river. There is a hole under the cliff directly below Hongya Gate, which is Hongya Cave.

After the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, Chongqing’s population increased sharply, and the center of Chongqing moved from the lower half of the city to the upper half of the city. Chongqing people opened a path on the cliff to communicate with the outside of the city. Hongyadong is close to Zhenjiang Temple and Zhiyanhe Street, both of which are docks and quite lively. As a result, rows of stilts were built under the cliffs on both sides of Hongya Cave. The layers are well arranged, forming Chongqing’s unique scenery.

As we walked to Hong Yadong’s door, the five characters “Chongqing Hong Yadong” suddenly appeared in front of us. Looking around, the stilted building complex follows the slope and criss-crosses, which is very different from the architectural style of residential buildings and has great spatial beauty; the modern buildings next to it echo the traditional stilted buildings, adding some sense of time beauty. Time and space are like a key, opening any door in Doraemon and taking me back to a simple mountain life. During lunch, the family gathered around the fire pit in the main room to talk about today's events and ate the delicious food cooked by my mother.

After eating and drinking tea, I looked at the scenery of the mountain city outside and lay on the bed to take a nap. During festivals, mothers would dress their daughters up in the railings of the corridor connecting the main rooms, and the girls would sing and dance beautifully. What a beautiful view

If you have enough time, you must stay here until about six or seven o'clock in the evening. At dusk, you can see the beautiful scenery of "Qianxun and Qianxun" on Qiansimen Bridge. Far away from Hongya Cave, there are layers of stilted buildings with bright lights everywhere, as beautiful as a picture scroll. When you calm down and appreciate it, it feels like you are in the dream of millions of people.

The temptation of hot pot from Chongqing

The unique mountainous landforms create Chongqing’s humid climate. This humid environment nourishes the hot and famous beauties in the foggy city! Look at the beauties, enjoy the scenery, and then eat delicious food! When it comes to food, hot pot is the most representative of Chongqing! There are hot pot restaurants all over the street, if you want to eat it, it must be the best! There is an old hotpot restaurant in Jiefangbei Bayi Road Haochi Street, which can be called the "Three Generations of Beef" - in Chongqing!

The unique lampshade exudes a warm yellow light, and the slogan "Three Generations of Cows" is particularly conspicuous. The tables and chairs are arranged neatly under the clever spatial layout. There are many retro posters posted at a small front desk. This is the scene you see when you step into "Chongqing". It is full of old times, which makes people recall the old Chongqing in their memories.

In addition to the environment of a hot pot restaurant, the food in Yuli also has a high "appearance". The bottom of the pot brought to the table for the first time has a sense of ceremony, and the red sealing tape on the pot has a "ribbon-cutting" feeling. Among the dishes, the most beautiful dish is "The Bouquet of Thousand Bells". Bamboo flower baskets, vintage old newspapers, beautiful dried flowers all over the sky, and strings of bells and bells among thousands of flowers are like works of art on the table.

The value of the drinks in the store is beyond question. The container of "Old Chongqing Handmade Sour Plum Soup" is actually a small wine pot with unique charm, while the "Shibati Lao Bingfen" is packaged in a cactus-shaped glass, which is fresh and full.

But the so-called food should be "starting from appearance and being loyal to taste." The spicy and fragrant mandarin duck pot is a must-try pot in Chongqing. The red oil pot is full of enthusiasm; the mushroom soup pot is delicious. Whether you like spicy food or not, you can find satisfaction in this pot. As the temperature rises, the soup in the pot begins to roll and degas, and the tangy aroma makes people unable to swallow.

At this time, drink a cup of sour plum soup. The sweet and sour taste stimulates the tip of the tongue and whets your appetite!

How can you get a perfect companion like fat beef tripe while eating hot pot? In Chongqing’s “King of Fat Beef Alternation”, the beef is pure and alternately fat and lean. If you rinse it in a red oil pan for a while, you can absorb all the essence of the spicy hot pot. The rich taste of the thin and tender meat dipped in the sauce will bring you a full sense of happiness. "Spicy and Crispy Hairy Tripe", just hearing the name is very attractive, and during the production, the hairy tripe is soaked in the secret millet pepper juice in advance. It is extremely sour and spicy, and it is even more crispy and spicy after being rinsed. People want to stop. There is also Chongqing’s famous “Three Generations of Cows’ Fresh Hairy Tripe”. The ingredients are fresh, refreshing and crispy, with a unique flavor.

There is also "special small county liver" pickled in advance. Grab a few skewers and put them in the pot. Soaked in boiling soup, each skewer is full of flavor. One skewer after another, you can't stop. The meat of the "volcanic crispy pork" is fried just right, the outside is crispy, but the inside is very tender. Whether you taste the meat strips plain or dipped in sauce, they are super delicious. It’s indispensable to mention Chongqing’s shrimp sliders. "Scallops with Salted Egg Yolk and Shrimp" is full of protein. The smooth shrimp paste paired with delicious scallops and rich salted egg yolk simply elevates the texture and taste of the shrimp to several levels, making it hard to put down. In addition, the "Super Chilled Goose Sausage" with fresh ingredients and the pure-tasting "Newly Cut Old Pork Slices" are also worth trying. After tasting the caloric food, have a cup of cool and refreshing "Shibati Laobingfen", which is definitely a complete life! A hot and spicy food journey in Chongqing, at Bayi Road Food Street, at the old hotpot of "Niu Sandai" - in Chongqing!

Day 3: Cable car crossing the river Chongqing postcard

When traveling to Chongqing, you must also experience the unique "transportation" of the locals! The Yangtze River Cableway connects Chongqing's Yuzhong District and Nan'an District, running between Xinhua Road in Yuzhong District and Shangxin Street in Nan'an District. For Chongqing locals, it is a means of transportation connecting the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and for tourists, it is a brand new experience. In these short four minutes, you can appreciate the charm of the Yangtze River Cableway, with the Yangtze River rolling under your feet. Looking ahead and looking back, there are prosperous scenes everywhere on both sides of the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River Cableway is an important part of Chongqing’s unique three-dimensional transportation network. It is a city business card that reflects the characteristics of Chongqing’s landscape culture and complements the scenery of the mountain city. The Yangtze River Cableway spans the Yangtze River, with brightly colored cable cars hanging on the cableway like lanterns hanging in the sky. Everyone who sees it will marvel at the magnificence of the scenery and the advancement of modern technology.

The Chongqing Yangtze River Cableway is the best way to interpret Chongqing’s “three-dimensional transportation” and “symbol of mountain city style”. Sitting in the ropeway, with the rippling Yangtze River water under your feet suspended in mid-air, it makes people feel excited and happy. Looking up to the other side, there are many tall buildings, row after row, making it a prosperous scene. If you are lucky enough to sit by the window and look into the distance through the window, you can always see the line where the Yangtze River meets the sky. Hazy and mysterious, people can't help but think of what Li Gang wrote in the Song Dynasty: "The Yangtze River is thousands of miles away, and the smoke is bright and the clouds are vast.".

The Yangtze River Cableway has become a "city business card" of Chongqing and the "darling" of many directors. Therefore, in many film and television works and reality shows shot in Chongqing, the Yangtze River Cableway is a must-see. Sitting in the ropeway, the scenery on both sides flashed back quickly, and the scene on the other side was constantly magnified. At first, you can see buildings dotted with small balconies and winding streets. In an instant, you can clearly see the colorful clothes and quilts drying on the balcony, the busy streets and the people coming and going. Just like in a movie plot.

When you stand on the Yangtze River Cableway in person, you can have a panoramic view of Chongqing’s scenery. The unique shock brought by the beauty of the scenery is unforgettable.

Day Three: WFC Observation Deck, the highest point in the city

There is also the heroic grandeur of the ancient poet Wang Wei's "climb to the top and see all the small mountains at a glance". Today, I came to the Chongqing WFC Observation Deck to experience the different exquisiteness and magnificence. On the afternoon of the third day, I went to the observation deck on the 73rd floor of WFC World Financial Center, known as one of the "three famous districts in Chongqing", to get a glimpse of the majestic style of Chongqing's urban architecture. As a viewing enthusiast, I have long admired the Chongqing Observation Deck. It is known as "the top of the West, viewing in the clouds".

The 39-meter building height and 590-meter altitude make people feel like they are in the clouds. The 360-degree circular glass curtain wall allows people to clearly see the entire mountain view from the window. Suddenly, the landmark buildings at the intersection of the two rivers and the panoramic view of the three-dimensional city are in front of you.

The flexible buildings and modern buildings built against the mountains give people a strong visual impact, making the city image of Chongqing more vivid and three-dimensional.

The charm of the name "Mountain City" is also fully revealed in this moment of spiritual shock. In addition, the observation deck also displays many old photos and historical records of Chongqing, condensing the history of the observation deck. The contents of the exhibits come to mind one by one like a black and white silent movie. From Huixian Building to Chongqing World Financial Center, the height of buildings continues to expand, and Chongqing’s development pace becomes faster and faster. Under the observation deck, people are coming and going, and people on the ground are also working hard for life. This scene made people feel tenderness all over their body. In the past, I only thought the mountain city was magical, but now I feel that the mountain city is very gentle.
