Contestants took part in a fashion show on a sightseeing platform 1,520 meters above ground during the World Tourism Image Ambassador Contest at a special competition area in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, on July 30.

The contest is an annual showcase of the tourism, fashion and culture sectors, and has been held 14 times. The show was held on Qixing Mountain.

Huang Tao, a contest judge, said it was the first time for him to watch a show in a natural landscape, adding "it was very beautiful and impressive".

Qixing Mountain has irregular cliffs on four sides. There is a glass sightseeing platform on top, where tourists may feel like they are standing in the clouds while looking down on the valley below.
