A farmer from Zhijiang, Hunan province, claims to have run across most provinces, municipalities and regions, including Hong Kong and Macao, in the past 23 years.

Xiao Xiangao, 41, who arrived in Changsha last Thursday, said he started jogging across the country in 1986.

Xiao said he had covered more than 500,000 km and had broken some 400 pairs of shoes.

"I run anywhere between 70 and 120 km a day every day," he said.
