Recently, I watched the third season of "Extreme Challenge", in which I went to walk in the clouds of Jinmao Tower in Shanghai, which reminded me of the edge walk I experienced in Toronto last October. Since I was studying in Canada, last October was just reading week, a total of 9 days of vacation, and I just went there, so I formed a team with my friends to open the tourist mode.
Presumably as long as the friends who have been to Canada will visit the famous landmark of Toronto -CN Tower, which is Canada's national television Tower, the tower is 553.33 meters high, since its completion in 1976, CN Tower has been the Guinness World Records record as the tallest building, until it was surpassed by Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
There are four layers of observation platform on the tower, in the ground 342 meters high one layer, there is a large glass floor, very solid, through the glass floor can look down on the foot of the vehicle crowd, if you like stimulation must try. This is also the most unique feature of CN Tower! There is also an open-air observation deck on the same floor. The next level is the Horizons Cafe, 346 metres above the ground, and an indoor observation deck. The 113-story Observation tower features a 360 rotating restaurant whose floor rotates in 72 minutes, giving diners a 360-degree panoramic view of Toronto without having to move. On the next level, you can reach the Sky pod, which is 443 meters high, which is the base of the medium white "needle", in addition to overlooking the panorama of Toronto, it is said that on a good day, you can even see the Niagara Falls and Manchester, New York, USA! However, the Sky pod only opens when the wind speed is not strong.
In short, as a landmark of Toronto, CN Tower is well worth a visit.
Edge Walk at the CN Tower, the most exciting in the history of the CN Tower, and the first of its kind in North America. This is the world's highest full circle hands-free walk, circling the top of the tower's main pod on a 5 foot (1.5 m) wide ledge 356 meters / 1,168 feet (116 floors) above the ground.
On the outside of the 356-meter-high top of the CN Tower, the edge of about 1 meter and a half wide goes around the top, about 150 meters. The whole journey is only protected by two seat belts, which is the world's highest hands free armless aerial roaming project. I set the first batch at 8:30 in the morning, six people in a group of a guide, gather under the tower, change equipment, walk on the tower. Countless mental activities are omitted here. The guide was funny, the same group encouraged each other, and we tried a variety of thrilling actions at the top edge of the tower, bending over, leaning back, and walking along the side. The view from the top is stunning, Lake Ontario is as wide as the sea, and the beauty of Toronto is at hand. The guide recorded the whole event on dvd and gave it to everyone.
However, this program is only for friends over 13 years old to experience oh, there are a few precautions to experience this program:
You need to book your time on the website in advance. The price is $195 from Tuesday to Thursday and $225 from Friday to Monday. Need to arrive at CN Tower 30 minutes in advance; Officials asked participants to wear running shoes or similar closed lace-up shoes. If not, it will be provided; Note that personal belongings are not allowed, but glasses and sunglasses can be worn, and the organizer will provide lanyards to ensure that they will not fall off.

Edge Walk seems to be more exciting than Jin MAO's Walk in the clouds, at that time CN Tower Edge Walk held a Guinness record for the highest walk from the ground. At first, I was still confused about whether to go, because a small partner was a little afraid of heights, but later I thought, it is all open tourist mode. Of course, if you want something different and worth remembering, you will be brave to go! Edge Walk is generally to make an appointment, a few of us are temporary rise, 1,2 PM to ask when there is only 4 or 5 o 'clock, we first went to the aquarium next to CN Tower.
Before going to Edge Walk, we have to tie up our hair, jewelry, watches, and special clothes. If the shoes are like high heels or sandals, we have to change our shoes. There are also a couple walking with us, who thought they would definitely be fed dog food, but the result is that the boyfriend is more weak, but he did not eat dog food.
Head to the Edge Walk, where the instructor will teach you moves, explain the scenery, and take photos and videos. Upon completion of the walk, you will also receive a certificate of achievement, video, two printed photos of the walk, and tickets to see the rest of the tower, including SkyPod! More will have to buy their own, but fortunately we 4 people, raised money to buy an electronic copy.
This experience is really great, and to see others have on the above to propose something, and some people also went to snow, feeling will remember for a long time!
