On the morning of August 26, the 2023 Hunan Sports and Tourism Festival and the National Paragliding Fixed-point Elite Competition kicked off at Chang’an Eco-City in Rucheng County, Chenzhou City.
This is a large-scale sports and leisure tourism activity integrating natural landscapes, low-altitude flight, sports tourism, and ecological wellness.
It is of great significance to build a low-altitude tourism demonstration site in Rucheng, improve tourism quality, and accelerate the integrated development of Hunan’s aviation sports and tourism, health culture and other related industries. This is also the first national paragliding competition in Hunan in the past 30 years.
Rucheng not only has magnificent natural scenery, but also has profound historical heritage, which provides unique conditions for the development of culture and sports tourism industry.
The two events held in Rucheng will help demonstrate the natural scenery, customs and low-altitude flight industry of Rucheng, as well as make positive contributions to promoting the deep integration of sports and tourism, accelerating the development of new sports tourism formats, and boosting industrial transformation and upgrading.
