The birth of paragliding has given humans the wings to fly. People soar freely through the sky, flying as freely as birds.
Paragliding experience flights are an outdoor high-altitude sport where travelers complete a tandem non-powered gliding flight accompanied by a professional coach. No prior professional training is required. As long as you are in good health and passionate about flying, we can help you realize the dream of free flight! You can complete this incredible experience you never dared to imagine at the foot of the magical and beautiful Emeishan, in this sacred Buddhist land blessed with natural wonders, against the backdrop of Buddha's halo and sea of clouds. Come and unleash the thrill of free flight! Push your limits! Transcend the ordinary! Explore an exciting and adventurous life!
Tandem paragliding experience involves an instructor controlling the paraglider while connected to the participant via a tandem system. Following the instructor's guidance, participants complete a running start before soaring into the sky together. Our focus is on zero-experience flights, with the highlight being experiencing nature's wonders through paragliding. Can't fly? No problem—our professional paragliding instructors will guide you, requiring no prior flight experience. Already know how to fly? That's fantastic! We can accompany each other and share the joy of personal flight together.
The flight experience duration varies depending on weather conditions and individual physical condition, typically lasting 6-20 minutes (this is the ideal duration for first-time flight experiences—too short feels unsatisfying, while too long may cause discomfort).
Emeishan Paragliding Base
The Emeishan Dandelion Paragliding Club boasts one of the best flying sites in the country and a team of experienced instructors. It is a paragliding club supported by the Emeishan municipal government, known as "the paragliding site with the most aerial views."
The club recruits paragliding trainees year-round, and upon passing the assessment, a national aviation association pilot certificate can be issued. It also offers professional tandem paragliding experiences for travelers, organizes various paragliding events periodically, and provides professional equipment sales and other services.
The club operates paragliding as a dedicated endeavor, providing an excellent venue for leisure flying to paragliding enthusiasts and offering high-quality flight experiences to visitors. By combining the tranquility of Emeishan with the dynamism of paragliding, the elegance of Emeishan with the exhilaration of paragliding, and the static viewing experience of Emeishan with the three-dimensional dynamic perspective of paragliding, it injects new elements into Emeishan's tourism offerings.
