One thing that I had heard about Yiwu was the abundance of small villages that surround the city. I did not really know about other cities closeby until I bought a bicycle.
Once I found out about a city about 30 km from Yiwu (called Pujiang) , I noticed many of the shops had the crystals (水晶) sign. I heard that this place was the place to find crystals for many years until the government decided to crack down on the extraction of the crystals.
The place itself presents an interesting cycling challenge.The uphill goes on and on (or it does if you are cycling the journey.)
Getting some energy for the cycle
豆浆 , 油条 and 牛肉包子
safety first when go- karting!
The area of the mountain contained many things. One can go go karting, paragliding , trampolining or just have a nice barbeque.
paragliding would be nice if I was not scared of heights
One can see a brave paragliding soul in the
centre of the picture
preparing lamb for eating around lunchtime.
I will leave it for the next time I go here.
Where am I?
Oh Yeah, the flags are EVERYWHERE
lots of things to do...including archery (射箭)
Now, I know
a flower at the bottom of the mountain
A kickass flower garden near the entrance
Always room for more flowers
Need another break *gasping for air*
Not an awkward looking photo at all.
King of the castle*
* If the castle is a small rock
almost there
Green in all directions
It makes me thing of a giant Bonzai (盆景) tree
Follow the yellow brick road.
Nice pond at the bottom
All roads lead to the exit
That yellow brick road guided us the whole
way down the mountain.
Thank God I brought a windbreaker
There seems to be a lot to do here but
the climbing / walking up the mountain is always the best.
Coming back into Pujiang after leaving the park.
It is downhill all the way.
This road to nowhere helps the lorries that are not able to stop after going so fast down the mountain.
The traditional way to grab some rice in the restaurant.
Egg, meat and 2 veg.
nice
