Solar Impulse, the fuel-free aeroplane has reached Nanjing in the east of China, completing its 6th leg.
Controlled by pilot Bertrand Piccard, the plane touched down at 15:28 GMT, after over 17 hours and 1,240km journey from Chongqing in the west of the country, the BBC reported.
The plane, which is aiming to circumnavigate the globe, will go through thorough servicing for the next 10 days before taking off to cross the Pacific.
Mission director Raymond Clerc said that after the servicing, they would need to wait for a good weather window, which could be around 3 weeks, as the upcoming leg was the most important and complex one, and required to fly for 5 days and 5 nights.
Solar Impulse, which is the very first solar-powered plane to have flown around the world, has covered about 7,000km since leaving Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 9 March.
It has already set two world records for manned solar-powered flight on its journey, first was for the longest distance covered on a single trip of 1,468km between Muscat, Oman, and Ahmedabad, India, and the second for a groundspeed of 117 knots (216km/h 135mph), during the leg into Mandalay, Myanmar, from Varanasi, India.
