A one-legged man cycled 2,800 kilometers and crossed 21 mountains more than 3,000 meters high to reach the base camp on Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest in the West, at an altitude of 5,200 meters above sea level, said online portal zynews.

The Sichuan-Tibet cycling lane, which combines beautiful scenery with treacherous conditions, is famous for its difficulty, said 27-year-old Sun Youzhi, speaking about his trip on Aug 8. The lane includes snow-capped mountains, age-old forests and torrential rivers.

"I made preparations before starting the journey, but I was still worried that I would not reach my destination," Sun said. "I can draw this cycling dream to its conclusion now."
