Zhuhai Panda Skydiving Base
Located at Zhuhai Lianzhou General Aviation Airport in Doumen District, Zhuhai Panda Skydiving Base has now started year-round operations, providing visitors high-attitude skydiving experiences at 3,000 m (9,843 ft) high.
Participants must confirm basic information, purchase required insurance, and sign a security agreement before boarding the aircraft for skydiving.
After reaching the designated height, they will be taken out of the cabin with the coach and fall quickly at a speed of 50 m per second (111 mph) for around 30 to 35 seconds. The coach will open the parachute pack at the height of 1,500 m (4,921 ft) and participants will then be able to have a five-minute bird's eye view over the sky, clouds, houses, villages, and roads in Doumen while descending.

An automatic parachute opening equipment with smart chips will start working to ensure participants' safety even if the spare parachute encounters any problems.
