In chengdu doing nightly hucks, pm me if any one is here.

Having recently been to china for the first time I impressed at the number of tall buildings under construction

Maybe you can answer some of the questions I had though since you have urban jumping experience in China.

Legal - Anyone got info on the legal standing of BASE in China. It’s all good at the WWL but urban jumping is different from a nationally televised event. I am not sure anyone wants to end up in a jail cell when the cops don't speak the same language as you

Security - No idea how tightly they monitor building sites here. I doubt it as tight as the US though when looking for BASE jumpers

Hope you're enjoying you "business" trip. Do you get extra hotel points for not using the elevator?

Haha, I know another guy that had to write a similar note while in China last year.

That's great, I've heard such notes, but hadn't seen one, thanks for sharing.
Scorp, I've been jumping in China for a few years, but only urban stuff in Chengdu. For urban, It's best to keep to hotels or new construction and avoid any sensitive objects like government buildings, A's, and such. There is an increase in security concerns in public places in China in the context of the recent stabbing attacks. It seemed like the new construction was 24-7 operations for a long time, but has slowed and many are easily accessible now. It's helpful to speak the language, but in the few run-ins I've had with security, I play the complete foreigner and just repeat in mandarin that I'm coming back from the bar trying to get to my hotel. Kinda like when you run into a ranger in a NP and "pretend" to be gay like gorillaparks taught me.

Plan B: "Pretend" to be injured and see if they carry you back to your car.
