At the beginning of this month, the "low-altitude + cultural tourism" project launched by Tianfu New Area attracted much attention. On the afternoon of the 7th, the reporter took a test ride from the apron of Tianfu Park, and the sightseeing helicopter rose to a cruising altitude of about 200 meters, flying along Tianfu Avenue, passing through city landmarks such as Science City and Xinglong Lake. Overlooking the ground, the surface of Xinglong Lake is like a mirror, as if a picture scroll is slowly unfolding; In the distance, high-rise buildings are scattered and the city skyline comes into view. It is understood that the voyage range is about 12 kilometers, and it is the first test flight of low-altitude manned helicopter cultural tourism sightseeing route in Tianfu New Area.
