A young man in Qingdao, Shandong Province, challenged himself on September 3 by climbing the stairs of a 55-floor building in less than seven minutes.
The 55-floor Shimao Building is about 236 meters high and has 1,500 stairs. Li Jiguo started ascending it at 2:20 pm with a dozen people guarding the stairway on each floor and serving as witnesses.
In two minutes, Li reached the 17th floor and in 6 minutes and 49 seconds he arrived at the top of the building.
Li started practising martial arts at the age of 13, and everyday he spends at least one hour doing exercises. Li said he is quite confident he could create a better record in the near future.
