24 teams from all over China joined the challenge on July 31. Single jumping and double jumping brought thrilling experiences to participants. The jumping platform established at a cliff was around 300 meters above the ground. After leaping down, tied with the rope, participants would swing forth and back like taking a huge swing. At the challenge site, many participants were dressed up for this event to give a fancy and unique show. Some of them were dressed in Hanfu, Chinese traditional cloth. When they swung back and forth in the valley covered with lush green plants, they looked like flying ancient Chinese Kungfu Masters from movies. One girl told our reporter that dressing up in Hanfu and flying in the valley made her feel that she had travel back to ancient times, and the scenery of the theme park was amazing.
