Beijing and Xinning in 2003, loads of bicycles, pig carcasses carted around in 3 wheeled bicycles.
Beijing airport was a scammers paradise...my friend paid 2000rmb to collect his luggage.
I paid 200 rmb for a taxi ride..

Kunming 2006.

Hanging onto cars and taxis while on bicycle(courier style) i could travel most of Renmin Lu faster than traffic..

Few Cars but gridlock would ensue with a minor fender bender.
Parking everywhere.

Santana was a luxury car.

Performance bicycles were rare imports...most bicycle were single speed with squeaky hub brakes.

Dali old town.2007.

Few vehicles....
I could land my paraglider, tandem, on the main road in front of 3 pagodas..

Hello Apple.

Paraglide Yunnan's instructor is Michel Fougere in Kunming.
Paraglide Yunnan has a sister club in Pokahra.

I, Michel Fougere is also an instructor for tandem paragliding flights at Mountain Hawk Aerosports Club in Pokhara.

If interested in joining us to come fly paraliders in Pokhara you are welcome.
You do not need experience to fly tandem with an instructor.
You can also learn to fly solo with instructions..

Mike.

Nice accomplishment guys..

Lincang area mountains have been in my sights for a while.

Southern Yunnan is wonderful, we visit Jinggu (near Puer) to fly paragliders and visit mountain villages.

We developed a paragliding club and invite anyone to come and have fun or enroll in a course to learn paragliding.
