Most areas of southwest China's Guizhou Province are characterized by karst terrain, which has helped the province emerge as a dream destination for Chinese travelers this summer.

Paragliding is a popular low-altitude tourism activity in Guizhou, which has the potential to become the Chinese equivalent of Fethiye, the globally renowned Turkish paragliding destination.

*Guizhou's karst-cave tourism now generates around 1 billion yuan (about 140 million U.S. dollars) annually, and in the first half of this year, the province saw an 8.2 percent increase in visitors who spent 10.6 percent more than the same period last year.

Amid the scorching summer, the karst landscape in southwest China's Guizhou Province comes alive as a refreshing escape, with paragliders drifting across the azure sky, and deep below, headlamps flickering in the stillness of ancient caves.

Guizhou is fast emerging as a dream destination for Chinese travelers thanks to the unique mix of scenic beauty and opportunities of heart-pounding adventures.
