However, that is not the only world record held by Yancheng Dafeng Dream Maze. The labyrinth is also recorded as the labyrinth with the longest network of paths inside a permanent fence, which is more than 9 kilometers long.
The view from the top of the maze shows different paths that look like scenes from a 90s video game. In fact, the view is quite amazing, especially when you explore the paths in the maze.
Yancheng Dafeng Dream Maze was built between April and September 2017 and opened to the public when completed. In addition to its deer-like shape there are over 100,000 bushes that form a maze, the design of which can only be clearly seen from the air.
Trying to explore this maze is not a challenge for everyone, the manager of the maze understands that not everyone wants to try it. For visitors who want to try a smaller or easier maze, there is another maze with a lower level of difficulty, suitable for children and adults.
Inside the maze, there are 10 rest areas that allow visitors to rest while trying to get out of the maze. To add to the fun, there are also several interactive games, a treasure hunt, and several observation towers throughout the maze area.
The word ‘maze’ itself comes from the 13th century and comes from the Old English meaning confusion or deception. Traditionally, mazes are made from different materials such as hedges, corn, wood or mirrors.
The goal is to provide visitors with a spiritual journey experience that provides relaxation, visual stimulation, and evokes emotions, both joy and fear.
