However, the journey has taken its toll, transforming him to look like he is in his 50s.

The man, who uses the alias Liqi on a leading social media platform, embarked his solo trip from Jingzhou in Hubei, central China, on April 6 last year and arrived in Lhasa on March 11, Jiupai News reported.

During the trip, which included scaling several high-altitude mountains, Liqi walked while pushing a two-wheeled cart on which he put all he needed for daily living.

He experienced extreme weather, such as typhoons, storms and heavy snow, and was confronted by wild wolves twice.
