The Call of the Sky
As a former professional athlete, I’ve always been drawn to the thrill of extreme sports. So when I heard about the Hanoi Paragliding Adventure in Chương Mỹ, I knew it was an experience I couldn’t pass up. The promise of soaring above the scenic landscapes of Hanoi, with its mountains, fields, and villages, was too enticing to resist.
The day began with a drive from the bustling heart of Hanoi to the serene outskirts, where the paragliding site awaited. The anticipation built with every mile, and as we arrived, the sight of the Bu hills rising majestically against the sky set my heart racing. This was it—the moment to embrace the sky and let the winds carry me.

My guide for the day was Tran, a seasoned paragliding expert who exuded calm confidence. With his guidance, the preparation was seamless. As we geared up, Tran explained the nuances of the flight, ensuring I felt comfortable and ready. His expertise was evident, and I knew I was in capable hands.
The takeoff was exhilarating. As we launched into the air, the world below transformed into a patchwork of vibrant greens and earthy browns. The sensation of flying, of being weightless and free, was indescribable. The wind rushed past, carrying with it the scent of the earth and the promise of adventure.
Tran expertly navigated the thermals, guiding us higher and higher. The views were breathtaking—rolling hills, sprawling fields, and quaint villages dotted the landscape. It was a perspective of Hanoi I’d never imagined, and it was utterly captivating.
