New Delhi, Oct. 8 -- A man from central China completed a 70-day jungle challenge, earning 100,000 yuan (US$14,000) by setting homemade traps to catch rats and insects, according to a report by South China Morning Post.

In July, an event called the Qixing Mountain Cup jungle survival challenge took place in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, known for its dramatic landscapes, caves and rare wildlife.

The event is organised by a regional tourism company and outdoor clubs.

One hundred contestants from all over China were placed in a remote, climate-changing area with only a knife and a bamboo pole.

They had to survive for two months without any external supplies, and the entire challenge was streamed live on mainland social media.
