In August 2017, he and his friends spent 15 days making a kayak with advanced GPS and power systems. The boat is 5.8 meters long and weighs 30 kilograms.
Tuo paddled alone on the sea during the day and rested on the shore at night.
The average distance he traveled per day was 38 km. During the journey, he has weathered high and low temperatures, from 39 C down to – 17 C. His weight plummeted from 81 to 63.5 kg.
"I suffered no colds, diarrhea or major injuries, but my hips hurt a lot," he said.
His kayak has a solar panel to provide power, so he can remain connected with the outside world.
Local media has been following his journey and some of his activities have been live-streamed via social media platforms.
