怪坡: Shenyang CLIC part 6

9/6 2336
Today afternoon we went to “Magic Slope”怪坡. It claims u don’t need to do work to travel up the slope coz “some kind of force” will push u up, and you feel friction if u go down slope.
And we arrive there. It was a pitch road which seems not horizontal. Our mini-bus moves itself when it goes up the slope and fall back when it goes down the slope. Seems cool huh?
I felt confused when I really experienced it. But I still believe this can be explained. The force can only be mechanical coz for such a strong magnetic or electric force we wouldn’t have working mobile phones there, but we had. I think the road is not inclining in the way as it looks like.
And I found this.

And the more interesting thing is that the article was written in 1993 but there are still people like us to go and see the so-called Magic Slope. The owner of the Slope is still making money from the trick and the government has done nothing to stop it even though CCTV has revealed the truth.
Unfortunately from the Google search result we can see the Shenyang 怪坡 is not the only怪坡 in the world, and people are still paying money meaninglessly.
