Hot air balloons adorn sky in Haikou

Hot air balloons fly over a bridge during a competition in Haikou, South China’s Hainan province, June 15, 2011. Fifteen hot air balloons began their journey across the Qiongzhou Strait, a body of water separating a peninsula in South China’s Guangdong province and Hainan Island, on Wednesday. The balloonists are required to land at a designated place and scores are marked on the basis of landing accuracy and distance of the journey. [Photo/Xinhua]
