Why ride to Huanglongxi—D12: Arriving at Huanglongxi (Final Chapter)

▲ Leaving National Highway 213, we are about to enter Chengdu. The roads are changeable and the road conditions are complicated. Use your mobile phone to navigate and take rural and provincial roads.

▲Go to Wenjiang District at ten o’clock and enjoy the flowers and scenery along the way.

 

▲I saw a flower base on the roadside, with large bougainvilleas in all kinds of gorgeous colors.

 

▲No matter whether they are in the ground or in the pot, they are so beautiful.

 

▲In Xining this season, even the leaves have fallen off. Thinking about the drab bougainvillea at home, I get jealous!

 

▲Is this a banana tree?

 

▲I learned that Guyu was going to Hunan, so I was not in a hurry.

 

▲Leave Shuangliu South and enter Huanglong Avenue at noon

 

▲There are still 20 kilometers left, so work hard and win is in sight.

 

▲Here I am, Huanglong River. Here I am again, this time riding a bicycle. The whole journey is 1,100 kilometers and takes 12 days.

 

▲I would like to thank my fellow riders Feng Yin and Brother Sun for coming to Huanglongxi to visit me and treat me to dinner.

 

Follow-up: I stayed at Guyu’s inn in Huanglong River for a week. During this period, I chatted and drank tea with fellow riders, went to Sichuan University to see my son who was studying at Sichuan University, and rode a bike with Guyu... Then I took the train back to Xining, and the bike was checked in by China Railway Express.

 

It has been more than four years, and I have only written about the whole process in WeChat Moments. I have nothing to do recently. I thought of that passionate period, so I wrote it down for reference by interested cyclists.
