Mr. Pham Van Nghien, a member of Kinh Bac Paragliding Club, Bac Ninh province, hopes that paragliding activities will develop more and more: “Da Nang is one of the great places to fly. I have been to a few places, but nowhere is as beautiful as Da Nang. The landing strip here is very long, so even inexperienced pilots can land”./.
