Feature: Soaring above Xizang: Journey of a paragliding pioneer

LHASA, June 29 (Xinhua) -- As summer arrives, the sky over Yamdrok Lake, just about 100 kilometers from Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, becomes dotted with colorful paragliders.

This is the busiest time of year for 39-year-old Li Shengtao, a paragliding instructor, who runs a paragliding training base at Yamdrok Lake. And he is the first Chinese to paraglide from Mount Qomolangma.
