Toll gate ,Yongsang expressway
Imagine if the rocksand on bothsides slide down...
Snaow capped mountain with my bike looked clean and shinning under hot sun
Can you find one same spectacle like this in Malaysia?T
They start to panic when I approach to take picture


White cloud,blue sky, mountain,grassland, river...this is life!
Yongsang expressway view from the flyover
At the curve of the flyover
Can you figure out why one wheel on the road and 2 wheels on top?

Yesterday's tough ride has a telling effect to our muscles this morning.And today's original plan is to Zhangye 136km away.Heather and I have 2nd thought of doing it.But we will try and see how the road and the wing conditions as we goes. For the 1st 17km,the climb continues to hit 2460m ,I was eagerly waiting for the great DOWNHILL! But to my disappointment, the downhill is very gradual and many repired strecthes have loose stones.I supposed this G312 road is much neglected since the expressway is built. Lunch at a small town called FengZhen.Heather complaining a thigh muscle pain and decision made to stay in Shandan which is 40km away.I hope this will not be too taxing for her. We were forced to ride on the Yongsang Expressway for 8km when G312 road suddenly came to an end,police did not stopped us but the person at the exit booth did not allow us to go thru'. It required the booth supervisor to give the green light after some resoning. In Shandan internet my blog cannot excess again. this has happened for the 2nd time, is it the blogspot problem? or is it the local government regulation to block? I haven't got an answer yet!
