luoyang — Cycling Through China

Week 3: Luoyang to Xi'an, 404km (and 'climbing' the infamous Huashan)

My slow pace this week allowed me to take in some more sights as I passed from one ancient city known for its giant carvings of buddha to another ancient city known for its subterranean army of clay warriors. Along the way I managed to get to the top of one of the five sacred mountains in China.

Week 2: Huainan to Luoyang, 603km

Day one of the second week and I was battling an oppressively scorching 42-degree average temperature. My GPS—the Wahoo Element—that I was so happy with last week was not giving a good day today either. The route that it had planned for me led me down countless of dead ends.
