Zhang Shupeng became the first Chinese athlete to fly over the Tianmen mountains in Zhangjiajie, in the country’s Hunan Province. The ‘bird man’, equipped with parachutes, a flight suit, a helmet, and other flying instruments, took off and glided over the stunning landscape.

‘I think wingsuit flying is the closest human sport to being a bird, and after wearing a flight suit, it's like wearing my clothes,’ said Shupeng. He added that he hopes to achieve even higher goals and win the World Championships this September.
