As the big Gemini meteor shower fell over Helan Mountain National Forest Park in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region during the predawn hours on Tuesday, Qi Yingtao, a photographer from Ningxia, put on his backpack and set out on an adventure to record the exhilarating sight.
He caught the meteors with his camera at around 2 am on Tuesday in the mountains as they streaked from the sky toward the ground.
