Amazing 🤩

Really beautiful!!! Good organization, super nice and helpful staff and the flight was perfect! 45 minutes or so, at sunrise, just my best experience in China by far! The staff doesn’t speak English, but it doesn’t matter, we still manage to understand each other. Ps: be careful it takes at least 2 people to fly. I recommend without hesitation. Just magic. 😊❤️

Just do it! Definitely worth it.

This as such an amazing experience, and the scenery was beautiful. We took off from some fields at the country side and flew approximately 30 km over the fields and landed again. The team was very professional, so we felt like we were in good hands. Afterwards we also had a good conversation with the pilot, who had almost 20 years of experience. Even though you see mostly the same landscape during the trip, it is still very much worth it. The view is just completely unique. I don't think I can ever forget the beauty, and how it is 100 times more incredible than my pictures.
