A pedal power trip to world's highest mountain

YINCHUAN－When he finally arrived at the base camp of Mount Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest in the West, in the Tibet autonomous region last week, Fu Qisheng couldn't hold back his tears and took photos with his black bike in front of the mountain. "Mount Qomolangma is not only lofty and grand, and I feel so pleased with my decision to ride all the way here," says Fu, who has just returned to Lhasa and is resting there. Starting in October last year, as well as cycling, Fu would run several kilometers every week. "Cycling has become an indispensable part of my life, and I will continue riding every year and try to realize my dream of riding around China," he says.
