They came to walk in aid of charity - but there were so many that the event had to be canceled.
"Fight Hunger: Walk the World 2007" - which was held worldwide - attracted 30,000 people yesterday morning to the Beijing World Park, far in excess of the 1,000 registration limit.
The announcement came around 10:20 am when park authorities were worried about public safety and asked that the walk be called off.
