A Nanjing citizen surnamed Huang walked for a consecutive 10 hours on Sunday on a hike between Nanjing and Zhenjiang Provinces, a 55-kilometre journey.

During his journey friends called and waved to him along his way. Other hikers who had read of Huang's journey in a local newspaper were deeply touched by his spirit and waited for hours on the road to say hello to him.

Huang has hiked for years and says it is a good form of mental and physical exercise.
