Like yesterday we rented bikes and went around in the country side. We took less busy roads than yesterday. The pollution of the traffic on the main roads is horrible. Biking from Yangshuo to Fuli yesterday probably had the same impact as 50 years of hard core smoking.

The route we took today was amazing. The people in the rural areas here really live in very poor conditions, small huts with hardly any facilities. Much in contrast to their animals (water buffalo’s, chiken, ducks, dogs) which can walk around where ever they like and are well fed. Perhaps their end in the strange foods of the Chinese cuisine is not so nice, but their life is much better than even a “biological” chicken in Holland.

Tomorrow morning we leave for Ping ‘An where we will visit the terraced rice fields. We stay there for one night, and hopefully this time we will be able to see a nice sunrise the following day.
