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.⁣
