Four Dutch tourists died in the crash Wednesday in Guilin, a popular tourist spot, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Five of the balloon's passengers were foreigners, all of them Dutch nationals, four of whom died in the tragedy.
The balloon is one of three carrying a total 18 Dutch tourists for a 45-minute tour of Lipu County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It was returning to Guilin when the accident happened.
Investigators say the balloon hit trees while it was trying to land and caused a fuel bottle to leak. The fuel then caused the fire.
