This is the impressive moment a Chinese man lifted a 182kg iron block at a tourist spot in China.

Footage shows the local rotating the heavy weight in a circular path around a mount at the centre of a pavillion in Chongqing.

He spun the coffee bean-shaped block - called the 'Xingchen Dun' or the 'celestial mound' - several times before heaving it onto the stone pedestal.

The man then balanced the half-sphere weight on the platform before letting go.

The challenge is part of the famed Fengdu Ghost City tourist attraction.

Local media reported that although the city has over 850,000 residents, he is the only one known to have succeeded in completing the challenge.
