So how does one get home when millions of others are doing the same thing? How can someone avoid traffic jams, flight delays, and sold-out tickets? Just ride a bike home!

Recently a 26-year-old girl nicknamed "Yanzi" grabbed attention on China's biggest microblog, sina weibo. Working in Beijing, she will ride a total of 2,000 kilometres to her hometown in southwest China's Sichuan province. An avid cycler, she plans to ride about 150 kilometres everyday for 15 days.

Beginning last Sunday, she was warmly welcomed by other cycling enthusiasts along her route. As the country has been choking on smog this past year, she hopes more and more people will join her to get some exercise after a year of working hard, while also helping to protect the environment.
