A paraglider took off into a valley as a flying star lantern.

The contestant formed a giant Christmas decor using wires and colourful balls which he attached around his equipment for a competition in Bukidnon, the Philippines on September 8.

Footage shows the unique vessel gliding over the mountains while spectators watched him from the cliff.

One of the event-goers, Jimmy Avancena, said: ‘The tiny house won the competition. It was the most unique we have seen.'

Paragliding involves a flexible, parachute-like canopy that is inflated by air. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below the wing and controls the glider using brake lines.
