Low-altitude tourism has soared in popularity among Chinese travelers during this year's National Day holiday, with the Changshan International Aviation Flight Camp in Zhenjiang City, east China's Jiangsu Province, offering visitors a thrilling aerial adventure.
At an altitude of nearly 300 meters above the ground, thrill-seekers aboard paragliders can gaze out over the rolling Changshan hills in Zhenjiang on one side and the majestic Yangtze River on the other.
The area's unique natural landscape provides an unparalleled setting for paragliding, allowing tourists to fully immerse themselves in the exhilaration of flight.
"It's a perfect day for paragliding. The weather is great, and we are on holiday to try it together," said Ma Li, a tourist.
In recent years, Zhenjiang has actively developed its aviation industry, establishing key infrastructure including a general aviation airport, an aviation vocational and technical college, and an aerospace industrial park.
The city has emerged as a major hub in Jiangsu for aircraft manufacturing, industry-academia-research-application integration, and the cultivation of high-level, multidisciplinary aviation talents.
Building on this foundation, Zhenjiang has expanded into aviation sports. Beyond flight training and recreational flights, the city now offers aviation study tours for students and has developed a dedicated paragliding base.
As a signature attraction, the "Aerial Views of Zhenjiang" program offers tourists a bird's-eye perspective of the city through specially curated flight routes.
"You can get a panoramic view of Zhenjiang in the sky. The scenery is stunning. The Changshan hills are especially beautiful, and the sunset behind Changshan is breathtaking. Seeing the magnificent landscapes, I wish our motherland to thrive and prosper," said Mei Duo, another tourist.
The eight-day holiday break, which kicked off on Oct 1, has seen millions of people hit the road for getaways.
