On August 1, the Third International Extreme Rope Swing Challenge Carnival kicked off in Ordovician Scenic Area, Wansheng Economic and Technological Development Zone. Challengers from all over the world jumped down from a cliff with a vertiginous drop of more than 300 meters. The scene was very thrilling and stunning.

In a way, extreme rope swing is bungee jumping, but challengers neither use flexible ropes nor bounce up and down. Instead, their trajectory is like a fan centered around the supporting point.
Participants prepared for the challenge.
So far, the Carnival has been successfully held for two years. The rope hangs above the over-300-meter-deep cliff between the Sky Suspension Gallery and the Cloud Gallery Bridge in the Ordovician Scenic Area. With a sharp drop and a long span, the venue is trendy among extreme sports lovers both at home and abroad. A challenge video shot here has received tens of millions of views.
