The paragliding platform of about 2,000 square meters is located in the rolling mountains of Huchen, Ningbo. The elevation of the site is 520 meters, overlooking the East China Sea.
Its northeast corner is the reservation of the existing hilltop, plus with a newly added concrete composite roof slab, like a kite resting on the hilltop.
The red V-shaped struts are derived from the paracord elements of paragliders.
Climbing up the stone steps, you can reach the two-story rock coffee bar under the concrete slab. The east and south sides outside the bar are water surfaces.
Low cost.
Low technical requirements, construction contracted by local villagers.
Low carbon, all materials come from within 50km range.
