Xiling Xueshan is site for ski, and tourists. 3 hours drive from Chengdu , captial of Sichuan province.The cable car started from feet of the hills and reaching to 100 meters lower of the launch site;It will took you about 30 to 40 minutes to get there by calbe car.if you are feel altitude sickness you many ask porters (who providing sedan chair service at top)for helping.

the wind come from east , and the launch slope is facing south, when sunshine is ok, the thermal wind will come up from valley,so you can launch then.After launch we need to fly to south a little bit and turn to left slope which facing east. (if no climb after launching, we have not hight go to leftdirectly, but never mind , if you are realy low, you can land at launch slope and go back to lanch site)

the thermal at 800 meters about Landing Zone are very strong, you will keep in air for several hours if you do not mind a little pumpy. about about site all are hugh maitains, snow maintains can be seen at west side even in summer days.
