Born in Xinjiang, 52-year-old Chen Ruifeng is a paragliding amateur. He says he feels like having his own wings when the paraglider opens. In 2016, Chen Ruifeng started to practice paragliding. Later on, he joined a local club and received his flying certificate after training. As an outdoor enthusiast, he also engages himself in trail running, mountaineering and ice climbing. In his opinions, the unique terrain of Xinjiang, such as mountains, steppes and rivers, has its own charms and thus makes here a heaven for outdoor activities. "As long as I can, I will fly higher and discover more the beauty of Xinjiang," Chen says. (Xinhua/Hu Huhu)
