Summary Post: China

I spent almost two months in China- quite a bit of it off the bike. It was an eye-opening experience in the world’s most populous country.

Here are the numbers!

• Days in country: 58
• Days riding: 16 (And a few more days of a little bit of riding to get to and from trains etc)
• Kilometres ridden: 1405km
• Running total (nearest 10km): 10560km
• Accom cost: ~¥2260 ($NZ452) (Less than $NZ8 a night)
• Other costs: ~¥8166 ($NZ1633) (This was pushed higher than expected because of train costs ($NZ300) and entry to tourist sites ($70). And of course the scam of the tea ceremony..)
• Favourite food/drink: Street-vendor dumplings and tasty BBQ (especially the tasty veges..)
• 3 nights on trains, 44 nights in hostels, and 12 in hotels
• Favourite photos (a few because it was a couple of months):

And my map of my route in China (Cyan is cycling, Green is the train, dark blue the boat, brown is driving and red is walking):
