Another day another province from Hebei to Shanxi and the hill continues from one end across the mountain to the other at highest point 1487m. On the way ,I was stopby 2 cars and about 10 chinese came out and introduced that they are from the Datong wildcamel cycling club .They insisted we stopover at Datong to exchange experience about cycling.Datong was not on our plan earlier as we plan to go Xinghe. Touched by their hospitality,we agreed but we told them we will reach Datong only by tomorrow which is 50km from Yanggao. Arrived Yanggao almost 6 pm and planned to stay in a "ping quan'' and hope for a nice warm shower. After checking in with our bags and bikes,then the unexpected happen ,one man dressed in his grey coat an shinning leather shoes told us to pack our staff to go to the police station to register and let them decide for us way to stay. We heard about this ruling from fellow travellers b4 ,we and the Hotel owner could get fines if we failed to do that. We were not happy on this as we knew it will be expensive if we follow. We rode out almost in the dark out of the town. We spotted deserted brick houses by the roadside on the way to Datong. Permission given by the farmers , we quickly setup our tents and cook rice for dinner but Ulla were too tired to eat,she were already well asleep b4 I and Heather have dinner.
