In Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, which is known for its dramatic landscapes, caves and rare wildlife, an event called the Qixing Mountain Cup jungle survival challenge took place in July.
It was organised by a local tourism company and outdoor clubs.
One hundred contestants from across China were dropped into the remote, climate-shifting area with just a knife and a bamboo pole.
For two months, they had to survive without any external supplies. The entire challenge was streamed live on mainland social media.
