It's Qixi Festival again. In addition to Qixi, there is also a monthly Valentine's Day. Every year at this time, my straight boyfriend has to face the ultimate challenge of life - where can I take my girlfriend to satisfy her? Going to a high-end and upscale restaurant—— Not at all attentive! Going to the cinema—— When can't I watch a movie? I have to pick a crowded day! Why don't we go for a walk by the river and enjoy the breeze—— break up! break up!

My boyfriend said that there were 4510000 search records for "Qixi Date Place" in Baidu encyclopedia. He thought twice and decided to take me to Chongqing. I thought it would be hot pot+night view+shopping in business circle, but this time he took me to Chongqing Wansheng Ordovician. Couples traveling, besides eating, taking photos, and enjoying the scenery, can also have different ways to enhance the sweetness of love! Next, we present our diary of our Chongqing Ordovician love journey guide.


Lesson 1 of the Love Journey: Where to choose for a Qixi date?

Boyfriend Yun: There is a famous theory in psychology called the "suspension bridge effect", which refers to the involuntary increase in heart rate when a person crosses a suspension bridge with anxiety. If at this time, one happens to meet a member of the opposite sex, they may mistakenly interpret the increased heart rate caused by this situation as a physiological reaction that arises from the other person's attraction, thus developing feelings of love for the other person. Therefore, any activity that can boost the other person's adrenaline and make them impulsive and progressive will become a magic weapon for fostering feelings between couples. (Boyfriend is so cunning, hahaha)

The Wansheng Ordovician in Chongqing is a scenic area built on the edge of cliffs several hundred meters away. Various original high-altitude projects have created a unique and crazy excitement for the original cliff scenic area. Friends who have watched the variety show 'My Kid' will know that this place has attracted Chen Xuedong, who loves extreme sports, to check in!


Lesson 2 of Love Journey: What to prepare before dating on Qixi?

Boyfriend said that in order to successfully pass the customs on Qixi Festival and capture my heart, in addition to choosing a romantic and surprising place for dating, he should also show his "three good boyfriend" characteristics everywhere. During the dating process, he must be patient, careful and always concerned. Please refer to the following points for specific operation methods of "Model Boyfriend":

1. Before going, check the weather carefully for the next day. Strong winds and heavy fog can cause many projects to be closed. You should tell your girlfriend what to wear and what things to bring based on the weather.

If the weather is sunny, please make sure to bring sunscreen or a hat and umbrella for the girl in advance, because the altitude on the mountain is high, and UV rays are very strong, which can really cause sunburn!

If the weather is rainy, it is recommended that girls wear thicker clothes. Due to the altitude, the temperature on the mountain may be lower than below. Remember to bring an umbrella or raincoat, although there may be people selling it on the mountain road, the price may not be very cost-effective; Remember to let your girlfriend wear a pair of non slip shoes on rainy days.

Summer has arrived, and there may be more mosquitoes and insects on the mountains. It is recommended to bring some mosquito repellent equipment for girls, otherwise they will have a lot of fun playing with their backpacks later.

☛ Transportation Route Guide

My boyfriend and I drove together, following the route: Chongqing Main City → G75 Banan Toll Station → Wansheng Xiadao → Dreamy Ordovician. If you're not sure, you can also use mobile map navigation! However, we have also seen bus routes: Nanping Four Kilometer Hub Station or Yangjiaping Bus Station → Wansheng Bus Station (113 bus) → Heigu Valley (119 bus) → Dreamy Ordovician.


Lesson 3 of Love Journey: What do you want to play on Qixi?

My boyfriend and I have experienced almost all of the high-altitude stimulation projects in the Ordovician period, except for "ah ah ah" and "wow wow". The excitement of the projects, the beautiful scenery on the cliffs, and the constant screaming - well, only I was screaming (my boyfriend ordered me to correct it).

1. Glass Suspension Bridge - "Suspension Bridge Effect" Feel each other's heartbeats

Romantic Index: ★★★★★★

Adrenaline level: ★★☆☆☆

This fully transparent high-altitude glass suspension bridge, which collapses between two mountains, is not only a favorite of tourists who enjoy high-altitude exciting projects, but also a romantic dating destination. On the one hand, it is much gentler than other high-altitude projects in the Ordovician period, and even timid and afraid tourists can try it. On the other hand, its interactivity is extremely strong. Afraid girls will tightly hold onto boys' hands and walk step by step through the suspension bridge, making boys instantly full of boyfriend power.

In addition, as I passed through the swaying suspension bridge, my inner tension and heart rate increased. At this point, my boyfriend's "suspension bridge effect" came into play. My heart rate did indeed increase, and my adrenaline surged. I also felt that my relationship quickly heated up haha.

2. Sky Hanging Corridor - Holding Your Hand and Strolling Through the Clouds Together

Romantic Index: ★★★★★★

Adrenaline level: ★★☆☆☆

This is a fully transparent A-shaped glass bridge with a span of 150 meters. It is located on the top of a cliff hundreds of meters above, and extends nearly 70 meters outward along the cliff. Standing outside the overhanging corridor, many tourists, like me, think that this project is terrifying. However, when we actually stepped onto the sky overhanging corridor, we still felt weak when we looked at the cliffs hundreds of meters below us. But my boyfriend held my hand and slowly reached the finish line, with a thin mist under our feet. It was truly romantic!

Moreover, the sky hanging gallery of the Ordovician period is also a great place for taking photos. I have seen many couples walking to the top of the A-shape to take pictures, with boys holding girls behind their backs and standing in the clouds, recreating the classic scene from the Titanic for a group photo. I also checked in with my boyfriend~

3. Startled step by step - open your arms and fly towards you

Romantic Index: ★★★★★★

Adrenaline level: ★★★★☆

It is said that "Step by Step Startling Heart" is one of the most popular projects in the Ordovician period. Its entire walkway is composed of metal steel beams spaced at an average interval of 30cm, and walking on it requires overcoming the fear brought by the hundreds of meters drop of cliffs underfoot.

I left first at that time. Then I stood at the finish line and opened my arms to my boyfriend. Little by little, my friend broke through his fear and ran towards me, holding me tightly at the finish line. At that time, I thought of a chicken soup in my heart: this kind of hug that breaks through numerous difficulties is even more precious hahaha!

4. Rocket bungee jumping - screaming recklessly and loudly saying 'I love you'

Romantic Index: ★★★★☆☆

Adrenaline level: ★★★★★

We sat together in the circular steel frame of a rocket bungee jump, waiting for the tension of the steel cable to propel us from the ground to high altitude, like the ejection device in the pilot's seat of an airplane.

When I first sat on it, I was lying almost 180 degrees flat. When I was bounced from the ground into the sky, I detached from the steel frame due to weightlessness and was completely fixed in my seat by the safety buckle. And the biggest difference between rocket bungee jumping and other high-altitude events is that other high-altitude events allow you to start exercising only when you are ready, so "rocket bungee jumping" is more of a thrilling and unexpected experience.

And throughout the entire experience, there was a constant sense of weightlessness. When you hadn't recovered from the previous shock, the next shock came again, screaming incessantly! I loudly said 'I love you' to my boyfriend when I jumped into the sky. Hehe. (Music starts: Shout loudly to the sky~Say I love you~)

5. Dreamy Ice Sculpture Kingdom - In August in Chongqing, we traveled together to the world of ice and snow

Romantic Index: ★★★★★★

Adrenaline level: ★☆☆☆☆

This dreamlike ice sculpture kingdom in the Ordovician scenic area looks like a candy colored fairy tale castle from afar, making people wish they could dive into it. In the ice sculpture hall, various shapes of ice sculptures are crystal clear, lifelike, and lifelike. There are torch shaped ice cream cones, beautifully stacked Russian style castles, and slides with flashing lights... When the hand touches the thick ice blocks, the cold touch is quickly transmitted from the fingertips to the brain, making people instantly travel from Chongqing in August to the ice and snow world.

I personally think this project is really the most attractive project for girls in the Ordovician period, because in the ice sculpture hall, not only can you experience the dreamy snow falling all over the sky, but you can also take many beautiful photos. Before I could ask, my boyfriend went crazy to take pictures for me haha!

6. Terror Swing - Escape from Earth and soar into the clouds with you

Romantic Index: ★★★★☆☆

Adrenaline level: ★★★★★

The most famous project in the Ordovician period is the terrifying swing that even Chen Xuedong came to check in. The horror swing is located on the left side of the sky hanging gallery, consisting of two "door" shaped steel frames and two long swing ropes fixed on the horizontal steel frames. The swing seats are connected below the swing ropes.

As one of the three giants of the Ordovician period, the terrifying swing has long been known for its "terror". In fact, this project is quite romantic. When the project starts running, the magnetic force of the machine is interrupted, and the swing begins to fall rapidly downwards, rushing towards the sky. At the moment when the swing rises to the clouds, there is a kind of romance of escaping from Earth.

Lesson 4 of Love Journey: How are you doing on Qixi night?

☾ 5cm Music Bar - Drinking and Listening to Music in a Birdcage, Have a Night of Fun

My boyfriend and I went to a uniquely decorated dining bar under the left corner staircase of the Ordovician Middle Gate Food Street. The design of the entire bar is unique, with birdcage style seats, tropical rainforest style decoration, and fresh folk songs playing on the sound system. It is accompanied by delicious food and wine, creating a unique flavor.

This restaurant mainly sells Western cuisine, with steak set meals being the highlight here. Afternoon is coffee time, and the price of afternoon tea set is around 20, which can be said to be quite affordable, and the taste is also very good.

I heard that the most unique thing is that there will be a singing performance in the store at six or seven in the evening. Imagine a couple drinking a little wine, watching the performance, and listening to romantic singing. Ah, it's an intoxicating night~

Cloud Courtyard Homestay - A Forest Cottage Covered in Mist

Address: Building 6, Ordovician Shuiyuntai Community (near the Ordovician Scenic Area)

The Yunshang Xiaoyuan Homestay where my boyfriend and I live is located inside the Ordovician scenic area, which is particularly convenient. The entire decoration style is very simple and clean, and the homestay is located deep in the forest, shrouded in mist, giving a feeling of winding paths leading to a secluded place. The decoration of the guest rooms is also very new, mainly in a simple and plain wooden style, supplemented by some traditional Chinese paintings, making the overall look very fresh and natural.

Even the front desk lobby of the homestay is very artistic, and the landlord of the homestay, Zhang Jie, is particularly good with very attentive service. The transportation and infrastructure around the homestay are also very convenient. There is a supermarket next to the community where basic daily necessities can be purchased. There is a 119 bus at the entrance of the community that can directly reach the west and south gates of the Ordovician Scenic Area.

☞ Travel Tip: Actually, playing in the Ordovician scenic area during the day can be particularly tiring, so it is not recommended for male compatriots to bring their girlfriends back to the main city overnight. It is better to arrange a romantic and exciting couple's two-day trip in the Ordovician like us. This way, the itinerary will not be too rushed, and you can also experience the unique mountain nightlife of the Ordovician at night. Why not enjoy it!
