Shanghai student, 23, sets off on 16-day bus ride to North Pole Village

A senior student has embarked on a long journey by bus from Shanghai to China's northernmost county of Mohe, Heilongjiang Province, covering an estimated total distance of 3,865 kilometers with over 2,000 stops.

Jiang Xia set off from Shanghai on Monday for Beiji Village, or North Pole Village, in a small town in Mohe, with the journey – taken by local buses rather than long-distance buses – scheduled to take 16 days.

He began by boarding a local public transport bus in Shanghai and would subsequently change buses – all public transport buses of cities he would travel through – until he reaches his destination, hopefully in 16 days.

The 23-year-old arranged the trip as a reward for himself for all the hard work he put in sitting for the recent postgraduate entrance examination. He said the funds for the journey came from his part-time job income he earned after December exam and scholarships at school.
