Woman Climbs 5 Of China’s Great Mountains In 5 Days To Celebrate Her 10,000th Day Alive

Peng, a mountain-climbing enthusiast from Guizhou, China, went viral for her feat.

According to South China Morning Post, her gruelling schedule took her across five different provinces, where she hiked during the day and slept on cross-country trains at night.

She relied on a tracking app called Liang Bu Lu to check in at designated spots, spending four to nine hours hiking each mountain.

While she hiked up every trail, she allowed herself the brief luxury of taking a cable car down Mount Hua and Mount Heng in Hunan province.

Despite losing 0.5kg and experiencing initial anxiety, Peng said she recovered quickly without any lasting muscle fatigue.

The hiker credited kind strangers with helping her through the gruelling challenge.

"Don't be afraid to start alone. You will meet some good-hearted fellow travellers," Peng was quoted as saying.

"You should take your own physical condition into consideration and prioritise your safety when doing outdoor activities," Peng said.

Her intense adventure captivated social media in mainland China, earning her widespread praise.
