Thinner than a human hair if just one kilo of flour was made into a single extra long noodle, it would stretch over two-thousand kilometers. After winning official recognition by the London-based Guinness World Records Li Enhai demonstrated his noodle mastery in Urumqi. It took less than two minutes.
