Yesterday morning, on the suspended glass platform with a suspended span of 72 meters and a diameter of 16.8 meters, Mike Winterson, an American certification officer from the World Record Association, and Zhang Jian, a Chinese certification officer, announced that the suspended ceiling of Qingyuan Gulong Gorge Scenic Spot was suspended in the air. The four projects of glass platform, glass suspension bridge, glass sightseeing combination and jungle leap have successfully challenged the world record.
Stepping on the abyss, the static load can exceed 700 people
The Gulong Gorge in Qingxin District is densely forested. It is a national sports tourism demonstration base and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. It is located in the Binjiang Canyon of Qingxin District, 73 kilometers away from Guangzhou. One body, especially the Wanzhangya Waterfall, has a single drop of 131 meters.
The high-altitude tour route of the Gulong Gorge Glass Grand Canyon is 1.3 kilometers long, and the layout is three points and one line: the three scenic points of the platform, the hanging waterfall and the suspension bridge are connected to form a tour line through the glass plank road, and the end-to-end connection forms a circular tour surface. Special praise is: the top of the waterfall, the glass platform, the suspension bridge, and the plank road are all on the same level, and there is no need to climb up and down.
The suspended glass platform is 202 meters long, ranking first in the world with a suspended span of 72 meters, which is 3.5 times that of the U-shaped bridge (21 meters) in the Grand Canyon of the United States; the finishing touch is the 16.8-meter-diameter glass view on the top of the platform Round platform, this is an excellent location to get in touch with the waterfall. The center of the round platform is uniquely designed with a grid-like hollow, the mountain wind penetrates, and a chill occurs; stepping on it is like falling into an abyss, which is frightening.
The world's longest suspended platform and the world's widest glass suspension bridge
In terms of safety technology, Yuntianbo Batong body adopts the world's thickest 3 layers of imported ultra-white laminated glass with a thickness of 4.5 cm; the light transmittance of ultra-white glass is 99.15%. For the first time in China, the project adopts the dual design of cable-stayed steel structure and suspension cable tension, and the on-site construction adopts fully prefabricated imported bolt connections, which not only ensures the safety of the project, the stability of the structure, but also enhances the excitement of viewing. A few days ago, the Gulongxia Glass Grand Canyon project has passed the safety test and inspection of the National Authoritative Organization: the Department of Civil Engineering of Zhejiang University.
The Gulongxia Glass Bridge has a total length of 329 meters, an average width of 3.8 meters, and a widest point of 6.8 meters. The two harbor-type transparent viewing platforms on the bridge are located at the widest point, echoing the UFO glass platform. As the world's widest waterfall glass bridge, it is the first in China to use super large area glass. The bridge deck can accommodate 5 people in parallel, and you can also take full-body photos calmly. The area is 40 square meters. The harbor-style viewing platform is set up. The 5D sound and photoelectric special effects device senses that when tourists pass by, fantastic effects such as "landslides and ground cracks" and "glass shatters" will appear. Tested by the Department of Civil Engineering of Zhejiang University, the static load of the glass bridge can exceed 700 people.
The Gulong Gorge Jungle Leap Project, jointly designed by experts from France, Thailand and China, starts to glide from the top of the waterfall, and land vertically at the starting point of the rafting. The crossing distance is 3.13 kilometers. There are 19 invincible viewing platforms, and it has experienced 13 obstacle challenges and flying over. There are 6 magnificent waterfalls, 5 air glides, 2 vertical drops, and the last Taishan jump with a height of 35 meters (equivalent to a 12-story building) ends perfectly.
Yuntian Boba breaks four world records (CWRA)
1. The largest in the world
Gulongxia Glass Grand Canyon - high-altitude sightseeing glass combination, which integrates glass platform, glass plank road, glass suspension bridge and glass sky ladder. The suspended glass tour route is 1314 meters long, and the high-altitude tour area is 8680 square meters, setting a World Record Association (CWRA) "The world's largest high-altitude sightseeing glass combination" world record.
2. The longest in the world
The suspended glass platform of Gulong Gorge has a circumference of 202.3 meters and a suspended span of 72.1 meters, setting the CWRA world record of "the longest suspended glass platform in the world".
3. The widest in the world
Gulongxia Waterfall Glass Bridge is located in the core scenic spot of Wanzhangya Waterfall Group in the scenic area. It has a total length of 339.2 meters, an average width of 3.8 meters, and a maximum width of 6.8 meters, setting the CWRA "world's widest waterfall-viewing glass suspension bridge" world record.
4. The highest in the world
The Gulong Gorge Jungle Leap Project has a distance of 3.13 kilometers and crosses 6 waterfalls including Wanzhang Cliff, Feilong, Jiaolong, Raptor, Canglong and Shuanglong from top to bottom. From the start point to the end point of the project, the vertical height difference is 263 meters, setting a world record of CWRA "Jungle Leap Project with the Largest Vertical Height Difference in the World".
