The world’s highest swing has been unveiled on the TV tower in Harbin City way up in the northeast of China. If the cold air doesn’t take your breath away the sight of the town swooshing by 750 feet (228 metres) beneath your ass certainly will.
Believe me I know. Some years ago went up over Macau (also in China) in a micro-light (or was it an ultra-light) airplane. It was a bit like a large golf umbrella with a lawn mower motor and two seats. One for the pilot and one for me.
I’d been asked to take photos of the patch of mud and bulldozers that is now Macau airport. A chore that requires both hands … meaning that I had to place my trust entirely in the seat belt or cling to a piece of wire with my teeth.
After the 10 minute flight it took an hour of undivided attention from one of the charming employees at the Mona Lisa massage parlour to restore my equilibrium.
Macau is the Las Vegas of Asia. When you’ve done pouring your wad into Stanley Ho or Steve Wynn’s pockets you can throw yourself off the Macau Tower. Really!
At 760 feet (233 metres) this is the world’s highest bungy jump. Adding to the experience is the fact that your fall is only a few metres from the concrete side of the tower so you can see just how fast you are plummeting.
The fee entitles you to a certificate, a membership card and an exclusive t-shirt. Diapers are not included.
Our model today is Lily Koh she can leap on my bungy anytime. Click here or on the main pic for movies. Click here for photos
