High adventure

There was no hanging back when this daredevil performed his latest feat

The Qiongzhou Strait, which separates the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong province to the north from Hainan Island to its south, is on average 30 kilometers wide. On the last day of the year Wang Yong crossed the vast water flying a hang glider, successfully dealing with unpredictable sea winds and conditions, as well as a longer flight time than his previous flights. It is another success after he boldly crossed the Gobi Desert in Gansu province and the Gulf of Jiaozhou in Qingdao, Shandong province.
