The sun-powered "Solar Impulse 2" has landed in the southwestern Chinese city of Chongqing.

The plane touched down safely earlier this morning after arriving on a flight from Myanmar.

"Solar Impulse 2" began its trip to China yesterday morning from the city of Mandalay in Myanmar on the third leg of its round-the-world journey.

Bertrand Piccard is one of the pilots of the "Solar Impulse 2".

"There is a lot in front of us, a lot in front of us in term of flying the plane, and in term of meeting with people in different countries and promote our message about clean technology."

After its stopover in Chongqing, the plane will then fly to Nanjing to undergo maintenance before passing over the Pacific Ocean.

The plane had to remain in Myanmar for 10 days because of delays brought on by bad weather.

"Solar Impulse 2" started its journey in Abu Dhabi on March 9th.

It's expected to travel some 40 thousand kilometers without using any fossil fuels.

It is scheduled to stop in the US, Northern Africa or Southern Europe in coming months before returning to Abu Dhabi to complete its world tour.

The whole journey is expected to take over five months.
