Climbing onto the tower crane top in three minutes, the girl began to lift up the iron bars, steel and other building materials, and discharged them at the designated spots with great speed and a high degree of accuracy. 

Liu Jiaqiong, a 25-year-old girl from northeast Yunnan’s Daguan County impressed us recently by her skillful operation on a 70-meter tower crane at the Spring Eye, another landmark building under construction in Kunming, Yunnan Province.

At the Kunming building site, you can see only a few women, and those driving a tower crane are even rarer. 

"Well, I’ve been doing this for quite a few years," Liu Jiaqiong said with pride, "Maybe you could never image that I used to be an acrophobe."
