3. Hi,

   how much is a flight?

   Thanks

4. Hello Niki,

   As far as I know, around RMB1500

5. Admin: You said between 10000 and RMB20000???
   That’s between $1,600 and $3,200 (dollars)
   That’s NUTS… Did you mean those figures or you got your numbers wrong????

6. Hello Ricardo,

   Sorry, my answer is too general, a bit misleading.

   1. If just take a flight, the cost could be around RMB 1500, including primary training and insurance.
   2. If you would like to have both training and buy a paraglider from them, it will cost about RMB20000.

   The above is just for your reference.

7. Hello manoj,

   Just walk from the Bund to the Nanjing Road Pedestrian street, where there are lots of department stores and shopping malls.

8. Dear Admin,
   regarding Superwing Paraglding Club you said for one jump is between 3000 to 500 RMB thats a very wide range ! how much does it coast exactly

9. I’ve flewn in many places in the World in every continent since 8 years and the paragliding club in Mangshan is by far the worst club I’ve ever seen. The “instructors” and “club managers” are by far the most incompetent and unfriendly I’ve ever met. They have a sort of grudge against foreigners and for unexplained reasons they won’t let you fly at Mangshan. If you ask them why they don’t let you fly, they will tell you some reasons (“nobody can bring you to the mountain”, “it’s not the right time of the year”, “there is military training”, “no instructor available”, etc… and ofc “you don’t pay enough money”) but when you ask deeper, they are unable to provide you any clear explanation/official document/etc…

   Also many instructors/flying site managers there put money before safety and are totally incompetent. I’ve seen some of them in action on other sites (like Miaofengshan and Zhangfang), here is what I’ve seen: a student not yet trained for takeoff making his very first flight in middle afternoon spring (very turbulent conditions). He hit the slope very hard just after take off and ended up with broken ankle. Non experienced pilots doing a tandem as pilot (for example they don’t know how to approach the landing site). I’ve heard many very bad testimonies from pilots who learnt from the instructors (they tell them to run down the slope after having already failed the takeoff with the wing stuck in the brushes, their landing approach is crap, they are unexperienced/unquilified pilots, …).

   After living in Beijing during 6 months and being already back home, I’ll miss a lot from China but I’m very happy to be far away from those guys. 3 hours from Beijing there is Linzhou, reputed to be one of the best site in China. And by contrast the club and instructors there are very professional. If you are in Beijing and if you want to fly, stay away from the guys at Mangshan and go to Linzhou.

   If China wasn’t so corrupted and if there was a fair law system like in North America and Europe, all those clowns would already be in jail. Seriously they deserve no less.

10. Every foreigner I’ve met who tried to fly at Mangshan got refused.

    Besides the other pilots are really nice. I often flew to Miaofengshan, great wall, Linzhou and other sites with them and had really good times. I left China more than 1 year ago and I’m in the US now so my comments might be outdated but I’ve heard recently that it still didn’t change unfortunately…

11. Hi,

    I Will to coming in china for travel and working

    Thanks
    Domi

12. Hi Domi,

    Where will you be in China? The advice everybody will tell you is don’t go to Beijing. Try instead to contact the Linzhou club, they are very professional, skilled and can speak good English.

13. Hi there,
    I need to make a paragliding booking ASAP! However your email address is not available for either of the Paragliding Clubs. Unfortunately i am unable to call international numbers. Where can i find this?

    Also i have some queries regarding Paragliding for a tandem flight:
    Is there training required for a tandem flight? Considering you will have a professional with you.
    Are there any additional costs? e.g. insurance
    Thanks
