He was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead, the South China Morning Post reported. The local meteorological authority had issued a yellow alert for lightning and lightning – the third highest of China’s four-level warning system – about half an hour before the lightning struck. Despite the storm, the couple decided to go ahead with their planned photo shoot. Those standing near the victim were unharmed. The pictures showed the rescue crew carrying the man on a stretcher in heavy rain. It came just days after a British mum was left fighting for her life after being struck by lightning in front of her daughter on a beach in Croatia. The 48-year-old was left in a critical condition after being hit while sunbathing with her daughter on a beach near the southern city of Split. And in June, a woman and her two dogs were killed by lightning in Southern California. The woman was walking her dogs on a cycle path around 9am at the time of the incident. 2 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a popular tourist spotCredit: Getty
