YIXIAN, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- The rapid growing low-altitude tourism in the historical villages of Xidi and Hongcun, both UNESCO World Heritage sites in Yixian County of Anhui Province, is offering visitors a fresh perspective to admire the ancient villages from above.
Following carefully planned routes, tourists are allowed to enjoy an immersive aerial experience by helicopters, powered parachutes, delta-wing aircraft, and paragliders.
The low-altitude tourism is injecting new vitality into consumption and creating jobs related to flight services and ground support.
