Weather
Good season October to March. Summer have typhoon and storm. Cloud suck. The landing zone sets off sudden thermals. Watch out on landing! Watch the thermal cycles. 15 - 20 minuutes. When you're on, you're really on. When you're off, you're on the ground.
Rules / airspace
Don't fly over the golf course. Heavy weight politicals play there and they will try to shut down the site. Watch out for ultraligths buzzing the take off zone.

Very good site for beginner XC and junior XC pilot. Simple terrain. East side is mountain face to west, West side is flat round and many place to landing .Main road to straight to North. Easy for retrieve. watch the spelling: Saichia, Saijya, Saijia it's all the same.
