Renowned for its spectacular karst peaks and picturesque scenery, Yangshuo County in south China's Guangxi is tapping into the low-altitude economy by introducing activities such as hot-air balloon rides and powered paragliding, creating new momentum for tourism and local development.

A mid-air adventure turned into a dangerous ordeal in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi after a Russian paraglider became entangled in high-tension electric wires along the Mandi-Padder National Highway. A 16-member SDRF team, assisted by the local administration, carried out a rescue operation using a 56-metre crane and a rope safety system. The paraglider was successfully rescued and taken to a hospital for medical examination. Officials said he was conscious and able to speak. #HimachalPradesh# #Mandi# #Paragliding# #SDRF# #RescueOperation#
