CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Chongqing native Wang Wandi achieved fourth place in the women’s category at the Flymaster Open in Macedonia, Europe in July 2024. Over the past four years, this post-90 Chongqing girl has transformed from a complete novice into a skilled pilot, following her passion and embracing a life of adventures without regrets.

Paragliding, an exhilarating aerial sport, traces its roots to France in the 1960s when skiing enthusiasts started experimenting with parachutes to glide, laying the foundation for modern paragliding.

Initially seen as a novel form of entertainment, paragliding has evolved into a globally popular outdoor activity, attracting a community of thrill-seekers and adventurers.

One of them is Wang Wandi, a Chongqing local who stumbled upon the sport in 2020 and has been hooked ever since. Now, much of her time is spent either "in the air" or hiking with her paraglider in tow, always seeking her next “path to the sky.”
