Up to 200,000 young people rented bikes - which cost as little as £1.51 a month - to travel from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng for soup dumplings as part of a Chinese social media trend.
A clampdown has been enforced to curb a social media trend in China - where thousands of students rent bikes late at night to buy soup dumplings. Police in Henan province closed bike lanes connecting Zhengzhou and Kaifeng in a bid to reduce the number of students making the 37-mile journey. Pictures showed that the crowd of students - which was called the Night Riding Army by some taking part - had blocked a highway in central China on Friday night.
Since then, social media users in China have made the bike rides a trend. China Daily reported that the bike lanes between the cities were closed temporarily after Kaifeng residents reported issues such as bikes being improperly parked near city landmarks, making it difficult for people to walk in those areas.
