The story

Zhangjiajie International Wingsuit Flying Festival in Zhangjiajie

Tianmen Mountain near Zhangjiajie has hosted the World Wingsuit League's Wingsuit Flying World Championship since 2012, with athletes launching from Yuhu Peak at 1,458 metres to race a 1.3-kilometre aerial course or dive at over 200 kilometres an hour through the airspace framed by Tianmen Cave's natural rock arch toward a suspended target.

Athletes leaping from a cliff edge 1,458 metres up and hitting speeds beyond 200 kilometres an hour before diving toward a target the size of a small room is the spectacle at the heart of the Wingsuit Flying World Championship, staged at Tianmen Mountain near Zhangjiajie in Hunan province, the permanent home of the World Wingsuit League's marquee event since its first edition in 2012.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Tianmen Mountain has served as the permanent, purpose-suited venue for the Wingsuit Flying World Championship since 2012, a rare case of one mountain hosting the same world championship annually for roughly a decade rather than rotating venues

02

The mystery stays covered

The Precision Target discipline routes competitors through the airspace in front of Tianmen Cave, the mountain's natural rock arch, meaning the landmark is an active part of the course rather than passive scenery

03

The city starts moving

Launch altitude from Yuhu Peak at 1,458 metres and target speeds exceeding 200 kilometres per hour during the diving approach put this among the most extreme adventure-sport spectacles staged anywhere in China
