Danyang Paragliding (Yangbangsan)
단양 패러글라이딩 (양방산)
South Korea's most popular tandem paragliding spot, with flights from Yangbangsan and other take-off sites over the South Han River and Danyang-eup, lasting about 10–15 minutes.
Danyang is known as South Korea's paragliding capital. The take-off site and viewing deck on the summit of Yangbangsan overlook the South Han River as it winds in an S-shape through Danyang-eup. Nearby on the eastern side, around Dusan, is the trendy Café Sanh, where you can have a coffee while watching paragliders take off and land. Several operators offer tandem flights, with an experienced instructor piloting, so no experience is needed. Flights last about 10–15 minutes and cost about 100,000–150,000 won, with photo and video packages extra. Book in advance; weight limits apply. Flights are cancelled in poor weather. Getting there: operators usually pick you up in Danyang-eup and drive you up the mountain.
