Plan your Beijing tour<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span> ? If you are an enthusiast with a passion for paraglider flights, Beijing will not let you down. Since 1985, when the word paragliding was coined, this recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders has become more and more popular with the number of paragliding pilots and sites\u00a0having been continuing to increase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beijing is the pioneer city\u00a0in China developing paragliding flights and 1998\u00a0China’s first paragliding club was established in Beijing.<\/p>\n

Beijing paragliding sites
\n<\/span><\/strong>At the time of my writing,\u00a0 there are two major paragliding sites\u00a0around Beijing – Mang Mountain in Changping District and Yudu Mountain in Yanqing County.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Mang Mountain in Changping District
\nMang Mountain is located in Changping District, about 40km northeast of Beijing downtown. The\u00a0undulating mountain Mang Mountain resembles a huge snake, hence the name of Mang Mountain and “Mang” literally means a boa constrictor in Chinese. Mang Mountain is quite famous in the paragliding flights.<\/span><\/p>\n

The paraglide launching site is on the west hill top with a sea level over 600m high. The glide from the top down to the earth gives you a panoramic view of the surrounding scenic spots including the Mang Mountain Forest Park,\u00a0The Ming Tombs Reservoir, Ming Tombs…<\/p>\n

How to get there
\nSelf drive: Drive along Jingchang Express and get off the exit 13C of Xiguan Exit in Changping, continue to drive in the direction of the Ming Tombs; Run past the seven-arch bridge and turn right; drive along the north route of the Ming Tombs Reservoir and you will get to the Mang Mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take public buses: Bus 643 from Andingmen\u00a0or Bus 845 at Beijing West Railway Station, and get off the final stop – the Ming Tombs Reservoir and walk across the reservoir dam.<\/p>\n

2. Yudu Mountain in Yanqing County
\nYudu Mountain is located in Yanqing county, about 80km northeast of Beijing downtown. Yudu Mountain is a less traveled scenic area covered with thick forest. The highest point of Yudun Mountain has a sea-level of 860 meters with stunning views! It is a less known place in Beijing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yudu Mountain features the typical mountainous climate – strong wind and turbulence, which is good for taking off and maintaining longer flying time in the air. But under this mountainous climate, paragliding pilots need to have better skills of controlling paragliders. So Yudu Mountain paragliding is suitable for mid-level paragliding pilots.<\/p>\n

How to get there
\nSelf drive: Driving along Beijing Yanqing expressway, then get off at Yanqing Exit and drive on Jingzhang Highway; drive past the crossroad at Longqingxia and drive 2km on your right ride.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a bus: Take bus 919 at Deshengmen and get off at Yanqing Town, where you connect Bus 920 for Yudu Mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n
