Paragliding is bringing a new kind of excitement to the countryside of Anji County in east China's Zhejiang Province.

Through this experience, participants are first pulled forward by a tow line and lifted into the air. Once the line is released, the paraglider rides the wind, gliding above Anji's rolling hills and patchwork fields.

As a relatively new activity in the area, paragliding offers visitors another way to experience the countryside. For many young travelers from nearby cities who come to Anji on weekends and holidays, the sport has become an adventurous addition to their rural getaway.
