The first torchbearer was a 93-year-old former Red Army soldier, Liu Tianyou, who began the relay at the historic site of Zaoyuan.

More than 200 torchbearers carried the flame along the six-kilometer route, including several entrepreneurs including Mao Zhihui, the vice president of the Lenovo Group. People from various walks of life also took part.

The final torchbearer was Wang Xilin, who lit the cauldron at the Huangdi Mausoleum. The Olympic Flame will head to Yangling county and the city of Xianyang on Thursday.
