Yue Xiaoyun, 29, traveled by horse and foot from Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region to the southwestern municipality of Chongqing — nearly 4,400 kilometers — in an adventure spanning more than half a year. He plans to reach his hometown, Fengjie county of Chongqing, on Thursday. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]

Yue said he usually started off at 9:30 am and rode eight to 10 hours per day. But sometimes it took longer hours to reach an inhabited place where he could pitch a tent for the night and where there was grass on which Hotpot could graze.

Most nights were spent in the wild — except for a few occasions on which they stayed overnight on a friendly resident's farm or at an inn.

Yue said he enjoyed the hardships, learning to make it through on rainy or snowy days.
