Low-altitude recreation is quickly rising from a niche activity to one of China's most exciting new travel trends. At a flight camp in Changsha, Hunan Province, visitors gear up for an unforgettable paragliding experience.

With their backs to the canopy and hands gripping the control lines, they sprint into the wind under the guidance of instructors. As air fills the wing, the paraglider unfurls like a pair of vibrant wings, lifting them gently off the hillside.

Once in the air, a panoramic, multi-layered landscape unfolds beneath their feet – offering a fresh, three-dimensional way to experience China's natural beauty.
