The 1907 Beijing-Paris car rally was the original journey of world motor sports and the first transcontinental car event in human history. The event was hosted by Paris's "Le Matin" and hosted by China, Russia and other countries. The participating cars are transported by ship to Shanghai, Tianjin, and then to Beijing. On the morning of June 10, 1907, five racing cars set off from the French barracks in the legation area of ​​Beijing, drove to Zhangjiakou, passed through the Mongolian grasslands and the Gobi, and arrived in Paris, which lasted 62 days.
