For Thrill Seeker’s This Chinese Cliff Bed Is Off The Wall

Mountain viewed from afar

Thirteen-thousand-foot Wheeler Peak is visible over changing orange and yellow autumn leaves.

For Thrill seeker's this might be just the thrill that you have been waiting for. The chance to sleep on a mountain side in a very nice comfortable bed.

We have all heard of "cliff diving", but now there's "cliff sleeping"? Yes, there is and it's in China of all places. A few weeks ago, someone set up a "cliff bed" in China, which allows thrill-seekers the chance to "sleep" on a bed that's perched 330 feet (or 100 meters) off the ground.

As far as cheap thrills go, this one is very cheap (assuming that you're already in China of course) it costs a mere $13.50. Keep in mind that you will not be really sleeping in it, you can spend a few minutes on it and get a photo or two to put on your socials.

Would you seek this thrill?

You have to wear a safety harness the whole time.  And apparently it's even safe enough for kids.  You can be as young as 14 to do it, though minors have to be accompanied by an adult.

There's a mattress and duvet . . . and you get a cup of morning "cliffside coffee" to enjoy the view with.

As far as thrill seeking goes, this is a very reasonably priced thrill. If you want to get on a rocket ride like Katy Perry and Gayle King did recently, that will be much more expensive. We assume that both of those stars got a free ride for all the added publicity that Blue Origin received, but for normal people, you will have to go to the bank.

Remember the deep sea explorer disaster of a few years ago when the submersible was crushed with all aboard? That ride to the bottom of the sea cost each of the crew upwards of $250,000 or more for that privilege.

Here's a video of the Cliff Bed

Bob is a native New Englander, growing up (sorta) in Maine where his love for radio started at a young age. While in high school he hosted radio shows on a local radio station, and he has never looked back. Bob joined the US Navy and served onboard the Sixth Fleet Flagship as a radio and TV host. After serving for 3 years, it was off to Emerson College in Boston. Bob hosted shows in Boston on WMEX, WVBF and WSSH in the 80’s and 90’s before heading to radio stations in Raleigh, NC, Manchester, NH, and New York City. Bob has been married for almost 25 years to Carolyn, a Woburn gal and they have 3 daughters, Nicole, Taylor, and Bridget. Bob and Carolyn are proud first-time grandparents to baby Caroline, who they plan to spoil every chance they get! “I started my career in New England and could not be happier to come back to Boston where I can root for all the Boston sports teams and eat lots of lobster rolls and clam chowder (okay not lots)… It is an honor to host the WROR morning show with LBF and wake up the World’s Greatest City!” Bob writes about recipes and restaurants, pop culture and trending topics.
