Li Jing set out from the southern Russian Caucasus area, passing through 6 World Cup cities.

He intends to end his trip in the northern Russian city of Murmansk.

The 6,500 kilometer long trip isn't his first endeavor by horseback across Russia.

Starting in Russia in 2007, Li Jing travelled some 9,000 kilometers over the course of some two-years, finishing that trip in 2009.

"This is not just for fun, I see it as the meaning of life. I am allowing myself to take all the time I want to do this, because it's my dream, the most important dream in my life. And what is life? Life is dream," said Li Jing.
