Amazing! I rode down and through a valley that wasn’t much above sea level today. The temperature went up to most pleasant 27ºC / 80ºF and there were bamboo trees everywhere. Like another world, all of the sudden. Half an hour later, up at 1700m it all changed again, to a coniferous forest.
The Chinese government recently built a high wall around the famous rice fields and now asks for an admission fee. Everyone who wants to see the expensively laid out rice field storeys and take a couple of snapshots has to pay now. Nice of them, isn’t it?
