camping — Cycling Through China

Week 6: Lanzhou to Danxia National Geographic Park (home to China's Rainbow Mountains), 626km

I headed out from my hotel in Lanzhou to check out a famous bridge—the first bridge to ever span the reaches of the Yellow River. The bridge was built in 1949 so there was a large display set up to celebrate the 70th anniversary. The bridge and surrounding area was absolutely buzzing with Chinese tourists and as I was taking it all in, I heard, “nice bike.”

Week 1: Shanghai to Huainan, 629km

To sum it all up: I have been in China for a wee while now, and so many of the sights and sounds that I have seen on my first week have been quite familiar to me. Still, this week alone has just surprised me so much with how amazingly kind everyone I’ve met has been.
