Two college students, who were short of funds, walked 400 km in seven days to reach Yongzhou, their hometown in the province, Changsha Evening News reported Friday.

Jiang Wenlong, 19, and Zhang Linghui, 20, both in their junior year in a college in Changsha, started walking on Jan 21 and reached Yongzhou on Jan 28.

They said they enjoyed the mega-marathon walk as they got a chance to absorb the beautiful scenery their province has to offer.
