After a good 2 days rest , it is always hard or lazy to wake up the 3rd day morning thinking about cycling. Today's ride is rather boring,flat and a little climbing all the way to SanDaoLing,a small little town 2km turning left from the junction of the main G312 road.We normally stays at the guesthouse on the main road,but this time I wanted to venture into this town, no problem only 2km !SanDaoLing is a surprisingly clean,with people smartly dressed and ,lived in apartments concrete houses. This town as well as its people have much benefited from the rich coal mines. We also tasted with the most expensive lunch here for 90 rmb. There is also a big supermarket in town but we did not go in . Many shops and internet outlets but not many people seen doing shopping.
