A toddler in Guangzhou somehow found her own way home from pre-school - all alone.

The Information Times reports that Xiao Xin, a 2-year-old girl, went on a big adventure, but turned up at home without a scratch after disappearing for more than an hour.

The saga started when she came down with a cough at kindergarten and school officials called her aunt to take her home.

While teachers told the aunt that Xiao's parents had already collected the girl, the aunt realized that was impossible. The child's father was out of town, and her mother was with the aunt all morning.

Teachers and family members frantically searched everywhere for the girl. Yet before long, the child's nanny found her standing safe and sound at the gate of the family's home.

The toddler had to cross a busy intersection, replete with traffic lights, along with three busy junctions on the 900-metre journey.
