The Eastern Discovery Tour
Day 9

One of the hi-lights of Badachu has to be this Bobsleigh run. If your short on time, and don't mind skipping some of the sights in the park you could do the chairlift and the bobsleigh in an hour or two. This means you could do this and Shijingshan Amusement Park in the same day.

This was a real shock. I had read about the bobsleigh in my guide book, but was expecting a smallish run on a small hill. Instead I got a massive run that takes several minutes to get down the mountain.

This also rates as one of the scariest ones I've done. Your surrounded by trees stopping you see what's ahead, and there's a number of rocks and ledges around you to mean there's not a soft landing. It also has some of the nastiest corners I've seen, where it looks like you could come off if you go to fast, leading to quite a bit of panic breaking.

One of the scariest points is when the bobsleigh goes over this narrow bridge, high in the air. All there is between you and the edge is a thin net.

Another scary part is these deceptive meanderings in the strait, where it looks like you could come off if you took it too fast. This point also has some of the nastier looking falls if you do fly off.

That sign sums up a lot of the course very well.

This is were you disembark at the bottom of the bobsleigh.

If you don't want to walk up you can get the chairlift. I found the views limited, as it didn't go above tree height at many points, but it still had some good points.

At this point I'm thinking did I really walk all that way.
