The man from Shandong planned to go from Spain through European countries to China and now came to the Netherlands.

Xu Zhixian, 32, from Ha Trach town, Shandong province, eastern China, started the continental journey early this year and regularly recorded videos to share on social networks.

Starting in Lalin, Spain on February 20, Xu has now arrived in the Netherlands after a journey of more than 2,500 km.

I told my family that I wanted to ride a horse to China, but they didn't believe it, until I bought a horse and started the journey, Xu told Ziniu News over the weekend.

Academic, working in Italy, Norway for 13 years and have visited most European countries.

When someone asked me why, I said there was no reason at all, Xu said.

Xu, who used to ride only once, spent three months from being taught by a horse seller before starting the journey.

The continental journey slowly on Xu's horse's back then started, on average 30 km a day.

If I go hiking myself, I will take 6 hours to complete 30 km per day, Xu shared.

Another problem for Xu when riding a horse across Europe is that Huihui could be attracted to another horse and often tried to flee with that horse.

He tried to flee with another horse almost every day, Xu explained.

Huihui once dropped Xu's luggage to the ground when chasing another horse, ruining a laptop he brought.

The next stage of the trip was to Germany and then the shirt.

Xu said he was not too rushed and intended to continue moving at a leisurely speed of 30 km a day.
