Thrilling slackline show stuns spectators in SW China’s Yunnan

The China (Yunnan) Adventure Tourism Development Conference and Adventure Tourism Event Series has opened in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China’s Yunnan Province, giving tourists a visual treat with a diverse range of extreme sports performances.

Zhang Liang, one of the most skilled slackline walkers in China, performed on a 15-meter-high slackline above the river in the Tiger Leaping Gorge scenic area. Zhang walked along a length of flat nylon webbing between cliffs and kept his balance by swinging his arms and through muscle control. His breathtaking performance was a showcase of strength and beauty, and was well integrated with the spectacular scenery, immersing tourists and spectators in an incredible visual experience.
