Stage 28: Detours, accidents and countless adventures – from Hong Kong to Chengdu
The nine members of the international crew of the 28th XWORLD stage from Hong Kong to Chengdu in China passed through places, which up to now had not been recorded with GPS. The inaccurate and contradictory distances and daily stages stated in the travel guides and maps made it completely impossible to calculate the daily travelling distances and times, but also made this stage especially interesting. How this XWORLD stage reached its destination on schedule in spite of all these difficulties is described in the tour report by one of the participants.
