Wang Xuan, a Chinese student studying in the United States, walked across the U.S. continent, becoming the first Chinese to complete the magnificent feat.

Wang, a 33-year-old graduate from the Maritime College at the State University of New York, began his trip in New York on June 8. After 89 days of hard hiking, Wang arrived at Venice Beach in Los Angeles on September 4. He covered more than 3,000 miles (4,800 km) and crossed 13 states.

Born in Huaibei, east China's Anhui Province, Wang went to study in America in 2009. He graduated in May 2011 and decided to finish his dream of walking across the continent during the summer vacation.

Wang said that during this journey, he got a deeper understanding of the American people and society.
