You push off a low sandbank, the river murmuring at your back, and the parachute catches the wind—suddenly Hoi An drifts beneath you like a living map. Rice paddies stitch the lowlands, the coastline curves away toward Da Nang, and the old town’s orange roofs become a neat honeycomb from above. The boat ride across the river delivers a quiet counterpoint: water rocking, oars cutting reflections, then the launch site’s scrub and cliff-edge wind ready to lift you skyward.
