Soar Over Yangpyeong: Paragliding Experience to Remember

But first, why Yangpyeong? While there are a couple of paragliding parks in Korea such as Danyang and Yongin, many prefer visiting Yangpyeong Paragliding Park in Gyeonggi-do since it is very near Seoul. By bus or train, it only takes about an hour to get to Asin Station (Yangpyeong-gun), which is perfect if you want to spend less time commuting and have more time to enjoy your day!
