Describing his ideal future for Zhangjiajie, Zhong envisions a city where the international atmosphere extends beyond scenic areas into everyday life.
Visitors from home and abroad will gather in cafes and public spaces amid the mountains, he says.
Zhang, the wingsuit flyer, particularly enjoys how the sunset illuminates the mountains as he flips over mid-air, looking up at the sky. "It feels especially warm and quiet," he says.
"Tianmen Mountain, in particular, is a magnificent natural monument. Its geological wonders and complex climate system form an excellent classroom for humans to challenge themselves and understand nature."
