Tourists are flocking to Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, central China, where a wingsuit flying championship is combining extreme sports with autumn sightseeing.⁣ ⁣ The 2026 Wingsuit Flying World Championship brought 16 elite flyers from 11 countries to compete in speed and precision events above the mountain slopes from September 6 to 12.⁣ ⁣ Spectators watched from the mountain’s skywalks as competitors launched from platforms and flew through the dramatic landscape.⁣ ⁣ Swiss tourist Yuri said he enjoyed being able to watch the flyers pass directly overhead, while US visitor Jack Luria described Zhangjiajie’s mountains as unlike anything he had seen before.⁣ ⁣ The event has also boosted tourism, with Tianmen Mountain recording nearly 30,000 inbound visitors since the competition began — a 73% increase from the previous week.⁣ ⁣ #Zhangjiajie #China #TianmenMountain #Wingsuit #ExtremeSports ⁣
