The Dreamy Ordovician is a newly emerged internet famous scenic spot in Chongqing, known for various high-altitude entertainment projects, especially the Sky Hanging Corridor, which is the Guinness World Record for the "longest suspended glass corridor". With a length of 69.6 meters, it is three times longer than the famous glass corridor of the Grand Canyon in the United States.
The Ordovician Scenic Area has become popular in Chongqing not only for its karst topography, but also for its unique features: various thrilling and exciting high-altitude projects - in addition to the Guinness World Record breaking sky hanging gallery, the cliff swing that makes girls scream repeatedly, the "step by step heart" walking outside the cliff, and the internet famous glass suspension bridge. The top ten high-altitude projects here are particularly popular among young people, and some internet famous girls come here to shoot popular short videos and live stream thrilling scenes.
Due to the fact that it takes about 4 hours to travel from Chongqing city to the scenic area, there are more than 60 activities available, and the popular projects in the Ordovician period are so popular that most of them require some time to queue up. After collecting a large amount of strategy analysis online, it was finally decided to adopt the most cost-effective two-day, one night gameplay, which allows for a relatively ample time and easier experience of the projects.
How much fun was the Ordovician period? How should we play? Which type of project should I play first? Stimulating class? Or extreme class? Or is it a second set category? This article tells you, let's go!

It takes about 2 hours by car from downtown Chongqing to the Ordovician Scenic Area (transportation methods are introduced at the end of the article). The scenic area has two entrances, the central and western entrances. If you want to experience the Guinness World Records Sky Hanging Corridor first, you can enter from the west entrance.
Suggested itinerary for Day 1, the first check-in project is Sky Hanging Gallery& Cloud covered Bridge - Experience the thrilling excitement of strolling in the clouds
On May 19, 2017, the Ordovician Sky Hanging Corridor successfully applied for the Guinness World Record and became the world's longest suspended glass corridor. It hangs over a cliff several hundred meters high and extends over 80 meters in the air along the cliff, hence the name Sky Hanging Corridor. The corridor bridge is shaped like an "A" and covered with fully transparent glass, gradually narrowing from the inside out. Standing at the top of the corridor bridge, not only does it give you a magnificent view of the mountains and stunning sky scenery, but it also subverts your perception of high-altitude excitement.
The reputation of being the world's number one always gives people a sense of pride, and being able to walk on the sky corridor of being the world's number one is even more joyful. Looking at the sky hanging corridor from a distance, a huge V-shape extends into the distance, transparent glass sparkles under the sunlight, and a huge skeleton spans across the mountain wind like steel, creating a strong visual impact.
Walking on top of the hanging corridor in the sky, a deep abyss could be seen at a glance, and I didn't know if my fear was at work. I always felt that this huge creature stretched out so long, which was a bit out of my cognitive range. With just a little wind blowing, I felt that the corridor bridge was trembling, and my heart trembled too. I couldn't help but lean against the edge and grab onto the railing.
Next to the sky hanging corridor is a cloud covered corridor bridge suspended 300 meters high, which is a 35 meter "U" - shaped fully transparent glass corridor built outside the cliff. Walking on the bridge not only challenges one's courage, but also allows one to experience the beautiful cliff scenery. This project is not as terrifying as the Sky Hanging Corridor, and many people can walk back and forth a few times. Of course, don't forget to take some beautiful photos to record this wonderful experience moment.
Suggested itinerary for Day 1's second check-in project: Extreme Leap - Crazy Exploration on the Cliff Edge
The ultimate leap is the ultimate manifestation of the "high-altitude long jump effect". At a height of 300 meters and between platforms with intervals ranging from 0.8 meters to 2.5 meters, you can overcome psychological barriers and become famous in one jump at high altitude! Not only is it exciting to play on your own, but it will also attract other people who dare not challenge to watch. After all, such a fun project, if you don't have the courage to challenge yourself, it's also good to see others play. I remind you that if you don't dare to play Extreme Leap, you can try it every step of the way. It is an item that is a little smaller than the interval of Extreme Leap, and it is also an online red card punching item on Tiktok.
Suggested itinerary: Day 1, 3rd check-in project - Cliff Three Heroes - High altitude and weightlessness. Do you dare to challenge it?
The Three Heroes of the Cliff on Ximen's side must be understood. Firstly, there is the Cliff Call Machine, which features clock like hands that vividly capture the facial expressions before and after the experience in a nearly temporal manner. When I first went up, I was still laughing and joking with my friends, saying, 'What's wrong with this? If anyone is afraid, just call them out. Don't worry, they won't say anything.'. As a result, the entire army was wiped out, with each one shouting louder and each one leaving only an awkward smile on their face.
The first feeling of riding a cliff jumping machine is that it can achieve extreme excitement and pleasure without the need to rotate like a large pendulum or a pager. I always think that performing cliff jumping on TV is enough, but I didn't expect to experience it in real life during the Ordovician period. However, it's much more exciting than performing on TV. Jumping up and down several times in a row is fun and satisfying.
High altitude flying, as the name suggests, is about to take off again, like an upgraded version of a carousel. However, this spin elevates the destination to high altitude, with colorful seats spinning in the air like a blooming flower, which looks really beautiful. Sitting on top, the huge inertia lifted everyone up into the sky, truly giving a sense of freedom to fly.
Suggested itinerary for Day 1's 4th check-in project: Jungle Leap - Adventure through the Jungle
After experiencing too many exciting projects, I decided to take a shuttle bus directly to the middle gate of the scenic area to experience the jungle leap, which is not as thrilling as high-altitude projects. Although it is not a high-altitude project, the experience is super strong. There are a total of 6 unique and creative jungle jumping routes created inside, allowing participants to experience the thrill of extreme sports firsthand! Tie up the safety rope, shuttle between tall trees and suspension bridges, challenge your limits, and challenge yourself. On the path of jungle leap, there is no distinction between men and women, only heroes. Dare to try, conquer this mysterious jungle with courage, and pave your own path.
In fact, at the beginning of playing, it is hard to avoid trembling and struggling. After getting familiar with it, the pace is obviously accelerated. I really feel like leaping over the jungle. I imagine myself as an ape Mount Taishan, and my confidence is doubled instantly.
Suggested itinerary for Day 1's 5th check-in event: Ordovician Sunset - Tranquility and Afterglow, just for this moment
After leaping out of the jungle, our group originally planned to head straight to the restaurant for dinner, but when we looked up, we were attracted by the sunset on the Ordovician Mountains. Nature always surprises us, and after playing all day, we felt exhausted. It's better to sit down and immerse ourselves in the tranquility of the sunset without saying anything.
Watching the sun slowly fall into the mountains like a salted egg yolk in the thin mist is both romantic and mysterious. At this moment, picking up the camera and taking a silhouette of oneself under the sunset is truly a worthwhile trip.
Suggested itinerary: Don't miss out on the first check-in event at the nightclubs, Dinosaur Ice and Snow World - Ordovician Night Skiing!
After finishing our meal at the restaurant, we are going to the Dinosaur Ice and Snow World to start our first nightlife project! The dinosaur ice and snow world is a place that transcends time and space. Giant 1:1 ratio dinosaurs stretch out their long necks in the dense jungle, and the roar of dinosaurs can be heard nearby, which is lifelike. Many people choose to have an intimate encounter with dinosaurs here, either relying on them or taking a huge ancient background photo.
There is also a large ski resort here, which is open until 9pm. Interested friends can come and try night skiing! This is not just about checking in for a few popular events during the day, the ski resort at night must have a unique flavor! It should be noted that in order to ensure the cleanliness of the ski resort, shoe covers need to be purchased before entering, with a price of 15 yuan per pair.
Suggested itinerary for the second check-in project at the nightclubs - Ordovician Theater - Indulge in wild fun on the cliff edge
As soon as I came out of the ski resort, I was attracted by the super exciting music of the "part space" performance of the Ordovician period not far away. I didn't expect to have such a fun performance on such a cliff. I have been to many bars before, but this is my first time experiencing a performance bar set on a mountain like this. Without saying much, I immediately immersed myself in the joyful atmosphere of the performance bar with my friends.
The decoration of the entire performance bar is very high-end, with lighting, sound effects, and DJs that are not inferior to some popular performances in the main city. The large LED screen, dazzling lighting, and various types of alcohol are all available. The entire performance bar is divided into two floors, with scattered tables and booths. Guests can choose according to their own needs. Here, they can really release stress and relieve fatigue. With so many exciting projects during the day, it's better to come here and relax with friends at night. And after drinking with friends from the theater, you can also enjoy the unbeatable starry night view of the Ordovician period. It has to be said that the Ordovician period is really a romantic place, with unique geographical conditions that make the nights full of charm, which is simply unbearable to leave.
In addition to the performance, I also learned from the staff that this place used to have afternoon performances. In the afternoon, it transforms into an Ordovician small theater, and the performances are very diverse, including exciting circus performances, dance performances, and singing performances to meet the needs of different groups of people.
Accommodation recommendations:
This two-day trip to the Ordovician period was not only very fulfilling, but the accommodation conditions here were also very satisfactory. In fact, there are specialized homestays and hotels within the Ordovician scenic area for tourists to stay in. This time, we stayed at the "Dream Town Hotel" located above the Dream Ordovician Middle Gate. This hotel is an official Ordovician hotel and offers a variety of suites. The rooms are very clean and hygienic, and the facilities are also very complete. And this hotel is located within the Ordovician scenic area, with a very good surrounding environment. When you wake up in the morning and open the curtains, you can see the continuous mountains across from you. Taking a deep breath of the fresh mountain air makes you feel refreshed all day long. The most noteworthy thing is that the transportation from the hotel to the park is very convenient, and as soon as you leave, there is a bus stop that can directly reach the park.
Of course, in addition to this hotel, there are other private homestays and hotels available for everyone to choose from in the Ordovician scenic area. Friends who pursue affordability can also choose nearby farmhouse stays.
Suggested itinerary for Day 2's first check-in project: Terror Swing - A game for the truly brave
On the second day, it is recommended that everyone go play on the 21 meter horror swing first, as they will be staying close to dawn and do not have to queue up. However, according to the staff, the 18 meter horror swing will become a VIP exclusive channel for two-day tourists and can be played directly without waiting in line. The VIP channel is currently not open, please pay attention to the specific time. You can tell the essence of this project just by its name, the terrifying cliff swing, which is 21 meters long. I haven't even seen a 21 meter long swing before, but this time coming to Ordovician is really a fulfilling day. Sitting on the swing with a huge swing, flying straight into the blue sky, the whole person's body and mind are empty, flying with the wind.
Looking from the glass ladder or the sky hanging corridor, the level of excitement of the terrifying swing is awe inspiring from any angle. Generally, people who come off the swing have two reactions: one is silent and unwilling to say anything; Another type is venting style, exclaiming that it's too satisfying and satisfying. If it were you, what would be your reaction after coming down?
Suggested itinerary for Day 2, the second check-in project is the 4-meter cliff swing - releasing pressure and soaring into the sky
If the 21 meter horror swing is not your favorite or too scary, you can try the 4-meter swing. The cliff swing stands on top of the mountain, at the edge of the cliff, flying out from the platform, completely detached from the support, allowing people to experience the "hanging line of life" at a height of 300 meters and feel the stimulation of hitting the depths of the soul! You can choose the length of the 4-meter swing or 8-meter swing according to your own courage, and of course, the longer the swing, the more exciting it is.
The net bag under the swing feels unnecessary, and looking at it not only does not increase the sense of security, but also makes it even more terrifying. The cliff swing is also a project that requires a long queue to experience. As the saying goes, these popular projects must wait until the next morning when you come to the scenic area to experience them first.
Suggested itinerary for Day 2, 3rd check-in project - Glass Suspension Bridge - Strolling on the Cliff Top
After experiencing the excitement of the swing, don't miss out on the Ordovician 'high-altitude walk'. At an altitude of 300 meters, on the top of the cliff, a glass suspension bridge spanning 150 meters forms a frightening and tearful aerial passage. Have you taken big strides? Or is it difficult to pass cautiously? Not only does it bring you the satisfaction of challenging yourself, but it also allows you to appreciate the beautiful scenery of different karst landforms.
There is still a difference between the glass suspension bridge and the ones I have played before, although the same is the abyss beneath my feet, which is extremely terrifying. However, the glass suspension bridge here stands out on this hanging character. In addition to the whole piece of transparent glass under the feet, the safety guardrails on both sides are big eyed rope nets suspended in the air. When people walk on the bridge, there will be huge shaking, which is more exciting than ordinary glass bridges. The visual impact underfoot, coupled with the swaying of the suspension bridge, maximizes the level of stimulation.
Suggested itinerary for Day 2, 4th check-in project: High altitude floating bridge - drifting in the wind at high altitude
In addition to the glass suspension bridge, there is also a similar 'high-altitude swing bridge'. The high-altitude floating bridge is suspended on the outside of the cliff, connected by 50 meters of steel cables. People walking on the bridge, coupled with the gentle breeze and vibration, feel like drifting in the air. Being able to evoke childhood memories is also a re evaluation of one's own courage. However, the level of stimulation is average, and the protection next to it is done too well. After going up, there is not so much fear.
Suggested itinerary for Day 2, 5th check-in project: 360 ° large pendulum& Rocket bungee jumping - the ultimate weightlessness experience
After coming out of the high-altitude bridge, taking advantage of the best opportunity to improve one's courage, immediately go to check in the two screaming harvesters of the Ordovician: the 360 ° pendulum and rocket bungee jumping.
The 360 ° large pendulum is a stimulus within a stimulus, with no blind spots, swinging up, down, left, right, and rotating, providing an indescribable pleasure. As long as you have the courage, you can fly in the blue sky and fall into the abyss. This is an experience project that you want to see from afar and laugh, and once you sit on it, you want to call it. In front of the big pendulum, please let go of your male self-esteem. From the moment it starts swinging, it is destined that your loud voice will resound throughout the entire scenic area. Of course, shouting until your throat is broken is useless. You won't be able to come down without spinning a few times.
Rocket bungee jumping is the highlight of high-altitude stimulation projects. Two huge metal poles point directly at the clouds, and a transparent glass ball hangs in the middle. Sitting inside, the ball is thrown directly into the sky, and when it falls heavily, it asks if you are afraid or not. It is a completely reckless gameplay that makes you unable to even scream the excitement.
Suggested itinerary for Day 2's 6th check-in project: Science Fiction DreamWorks - Crossing the Ice and Snow Age
After clocking in so many exciting activities, it's time to take a break and watch the performance. Coincidentally, there is a screen performance in Science Fiction DreamWorks that spans 500 million years, lasting about 10 minutes. With special glasses on, the entire process takes you through a series of science fiction adventures such as the thrilling scene of shells passing by during World War II air combat, the real scene of encountering a Tyrannosaurus rex attack and witnessing dinosaur extinction in the Jurassic era, and intimate contact with mysterious Ordovician marine creatures through a "time shuttle". This project integrates science fiction and ancient elements, providing both the thrilling physiological experiences of traditional roller coasters and the visual effects of 3D films depicting grand ancient environments, allowing people to experience firsthand the collapse and fragmentation of the Ordovician species during the mass extinction and the thrill of surviving the disaster.
Suggested itinerary for Day 2's 7th check-in project - Water Extreme Challenge - Experience Lightness Drifting on Water
In addition to the more extreme projects, the Ordovician scenic area also has some relatively less exciting amusement and fun activities. The water extreme challenge, although called the limit, is relatively suitable for most people to experience.
You can walk briskly, you can also learn to walk unsteadily, you can be a strong teenager, you can also be a playful person in middle age. Although there is water below, even if you make a mistake and fall, you will only fall into the protective net below.
Suggested itinerary for Day 2's 8th check-in event: High altitude speed skating - soaring through the sky in the wind
The last project of the two-day trip, we plan to check-in for one of the most popular experience projects in the entire Ordovician scenic area - high-altitude speed skating. There are a total of 5 unique routes in high-altitude speed skating, flying over cliffs, forests, and stone forests hundreds of meters in the air, experiencing the collision of speed and passion, and having a bird's-eye view of different aerial scenery is a rare and exciting experience.
Almost every of the five routes will have a long queue, which shows the level of people's love for this project. In addition, experiencing high-altitude speed skating requires climbing up the starting entrance of the speed skating on foot every time, which consumes a lot of physical energy. However, the distribution of the five routes is relatively even, and the signs for the experience projects in the scenic area are also very detailed. Just play the speed skating track wherever you go.
END
The two-day trip to the Ordovician period comes to an end here, and the biggest feeling of this trip is playing! no Enough! Because the entire Ordovician period is really large, there are also many projects inside, and besides the recreational activities, the beautiful scenery near the scenic area is also very attractive. Fortunately, I chose a two-day trip this time. The entire two-day itinerary was very fulfilling and there were no regrets. Looking forward to inviting friends to join us for high-altitude projects and enjoy the beautiful cliffs during the next holiday!
