"Death slide" at Great Wall
I've heard there's a "death slide" down from the Great Wall, possibly from Mutianyu. See photo on www.pbase.com/image/36246446. Looks like fun! Does anybody know anything about it, in particular its location?
|
That is not the death slide at Mutianyu. The slide at Mutianyu is like a sliding board, like a sluice, and you sit on a little thing with wheels. I walked down but at one tight turn of the slide there was an attendant, presumuably to catch people who didn't make the bend.
That pic is of what I think is called a zip line. I didn't see any river at Mutianyu so it must be another site. |
Thanks mrwunrfl, that also sounds like fun.

Its on the side at Badaling. Its like a sled with wheels. You have a great view of the Great Wall as you descend. One of the best rides in my entire life! About 30 RMB
|
So we have slides at both Mutianyu and Badaling but where's the ride hanging onto a pulley on a cable as shown on www.pbase.com/image/36246446. Anybody?

I've done some more research and the cable ride I meant is at Simatai. I've found some photo's of the toboggan ride at Mutianyu on www.worldisround.com/articles/46876/photo28.html and even a video on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByjGp...earch=toboggan
