A three-line zipline circuit strung across the cliffs and forest of Heishan Mountain, part of the same high-altitude theme park complex as the park's glass bridge and cliff swing.
The Wansheng Ordovician Zipline Circuit is a three-line zipline course strung across the cliffs and forest canopy of Heishan Mountain, part of the same Dream Ordovician Theme Park complex as the site's glass bridge and cliff swing, about 110 km southeast of central Chongqing in Wansheng District, China. The activity type is a guided, cable-and-pulley zipline run rather than a self-directed high-ropes course; each of the three lines covers several hundred metres across cliff faces and forest gaps. No climbing or rope experience is required -- park attendants clip riders in and control launch and braking at each platform -- but riders need enough mobility to climb platform stairs and tolerate a fast, exposed descent, and the park applies a minimum age and maximum weight limit at the gate. A harness and helmet are provided and fitted by staff at the first platform; visitors should bring closed-toe athletic shoes, tie back long hair and secure loose items before each line, since nothing may be carried loose during the descent. Zipline access is included in general park admission of roughly CNY 220-260 ($33-39), with some individual lines sold separately for CNY 50-100 ($7-15). The circuit operates under the same Dream Ordovician Theme Park management as the neighbouring glass bridge and cliff swing, following standard Chinese amusement-ride inspection rather than an international adventure-sports certification. Attendants give a short safety and braking briefing at the first platform before each rider's first launch, and staff posted at every platform handle stops, restarts and any manual braking needed if a rider loses momentum mid-line. The circuit runs year-round, weather permitting, with spring and autumn offering the clearest views over the cliffs and forest below; lines are suspended during high wind, lightning or heavy rain.
