According to local media such as China Dotcom and Chinese portals such as Baidu, a drone flew in on the 10th (local time) during a large horse-riding show at a tourist destination in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia.
The drone, which was controlled by tourists, flew over the venue all the time. As a result, tourist officials warned several times to stop performing and stop flying drones.
However, when the tourist did not stop, a cast member on a horse shot an arrow and dropped a drone.
When the tourist protested, a performance official said the drone interfered with the performance, and that the area belongs to the border area and is prohibited from flying drones.
Police are also prohibited from flying drones in many areas close to the border"If you need to use a drone, such as personal tourism or surveying aerial photography, you must first report it to a public security agency." he said.
This is in accordance with the 「Unmanned Aircraft Flight Management Act」, which took effect in January this year.
According to the ordinance, if a small, lightweight, or small civilian unmanned aerial vehicle is flown within a control airspace without approval or a model aircraft is flown in a place designated by a public traffic management agency, a public security agency may order a flight suspension and face a fine of up to 500 yuan (about 95,000 won). If the situation is serious, an unmanned aerial vehicle that has conducted an illegal flight may be confiscated and fined between 1,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan.
