An American known as "Mimi's Adventurel" has chosen to undertake a skateboarding adventure from the north to the south of China, a journey that is incredibly challenging. Yet, he appears to be relishing every moment of it. It's a distance that even the thought of it gives Chinese people a headache; even by plane, it takes no less than four hours.

Starting from Manzhouli, on the border between China and Russia, and heading to Hong Kong, the southernmost point of China, the nearest highway spans nearly 4000 kilometers. The idea of completing this journey on a skateboard is hard for me to fathom, with all the potential challenges it entails.

But so what? Isn't that the essence of travel—to explore the world in your own way? In China, many might think it's unimaginable, but why is that?

Every day is FXXXXing blissful, bringing joy to others and happiness to himself—that's enough. That's what travel is all about!
This is an intriguing journey, not only about the landscapes but also about the strangers who encourage and support him along the way. I believe that everyone who passes by, besides being amazed by his courage and a reckless challenge attitude, might find themselves reflecting in the quiet of the night... We can come up with a thousand reasons to talk ourselves out of challenges, to avoid traveling, but only the self in the depth of the night knows that sometimes the challenge isn't about whether it's a skateboard or not; the key lies hidden within our own hearts!
His journey has just begun and is ongoing; you can follow him as he slowly, slowly offers you a skateboarder's perspective on touring China:https://www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjABAAAAjR-Hc-M2Y-Jv_cf9w4ComENNyJZbVK29jgIJIsCrxavYZ0k2jtc10SPIIl1uFcrg?from_tab_name=main
