A total of three packages: a bag, are required to take clothes, food, books and other equipment; a backpack, pharmaceuticals, electrical appliances, maps have to carry with; a pocket, of course, put purses, In addition, all the way to shoot digital camera placed in pockets easy access.
And his party are ready, time is 9:30. A call to the fifth floor of the Foreign Affairs Department, Bin-bin YIN sister told not to come back. No alternative but to designate the. Readily get the Shen Cong-wen's "river" looking through, bless Accreditation smoothly.
10:00 now. Your phone rings. Looking forward to the YIN voice heard, pass up.
10:05. Hospital at the front door. I am ready, Binbin sister down and off, I am ranked at pictures of the hospital.
Out of Qi-fu Road, along the airport all the way south, through Guangyuan Interchange to Central City Road, turn right into the station. Point of the station building clock 10:35.
Along the Central City Road westbound to the West Course Interchange, was supposed to ride on the south bank of the road, in the overpass under the Dongfeng Road careless Riding, riding a few hundred meters before does not feel right: This is not the day before yesterday the wind came to the West way? Really embarrassed, and even walked the streets will be forgotten, and quickly turned around and out, turn left into the south coast road.
Coast path near the right side is a railway, highway, multi-purpose pedestrian bridge, which is Pearl River Bridge, the East Bridge. However, probably dilapidated bar, uneven pavement, a truck through the train, the entire bridge, trembling.
Bridge is the Pearl River, the water flow not far from the south went to the Goose Tan. Riverside real estate development in full swing, along the Pearl Island Garden Datansha basically completed, and I do not know price of geometry?
Under the bridge, soon to Datansha. Datansha era is still in rural areas. Houses are arranged at random, three two-story brick house and simple random construction of huts. Traffic car is pass a few roads, each station next to a row of dozens of cars slide "mo's" spectacular, but the noise roar, exhaust blowing.
Road, turn a corner in front is a bridge, and the Pearl River East Bridge structure is similar, is the same worn-out, this is Pearl River Bridge, West Bridge.
Washed down the West Bridge, are preparing to turn left into the Fangcuntaidao safety program, see the road in Green Island, which stand a point card: turn left into the Fangcuntaidao, turn right into the Foshan Nanhai. Hesitated a moment, decided to change plans, do not go Fangcuntaidao, flowers to Avenue, Longxi Avenue to the South China Sea, and the choice of the unfamiliar right path.
Turn right across the way looked up to see the "bus station in Guangzhou Jiao mouth," the big signboard. Riding for a few hundred meters and saw the cross-road was built a steel billboards, letter to; "welcome to come again." Visit Jiao mouth? With a trace of doubt Slow, looked back and side of the billboard is: "Guangzhou people welcome you" I've been out of casual Guangzhou!
Are slow line, the phone rings. She Kelian a provincial teacher, asked me to help her bring things to Macau. When I say that I have to Foshan bike, she was shocked at first and later wish me bon voyage.
My attention to the South China Sea side of the bus station is quite characteristic. Do not mean on the structure or decoration, but each bus station were placed under the roof of the stool, there are plastic, stainless steel, the car can sit waiting for a train. Really good, user-friendly!
Riding into the boundary of the South China Sea has been a few kilometers, I do not know where to live? I parked the car at the bus station platform edge, hide in the shade look at the map. Next to a "motor earners" have been attracted to my outfit, come accosted. When I informed the ride to Macau, now go to the South China Sea, he was hot experience told me: This is Huangqi, cross in front of traffic lights is to Yanbu. Has to move along the road to the overpass turn left, you can go to the South China Sea, which is the nearest road. Thank the enthusiastic help of the "motorcycle class", I gave him took ZHANG Zhao, remember the kind-hearted people!
Forward riding a dozen miles, to a ring interchange, side to Zhaoqing, side to Foshan, side to the South China Sea. Looking for a long time, no see "Motorcycle earners" of the left path. In desperation, help a roadside security. Security must first turn right onto the bridge informed by. Days, which was the driveway. But no choice but to turn right to the bridge.
On the bridge, broad vision. Discovered just asked to see a way forward at a further 100 meters, across the street, turn right on to the direction of the South China Sea. Really "stand high, look far only to see the Qing ah!"
Time has passed and 12:00. The sun burning up, riding for two hours, feeling thirsty butt pains, stomach are also some hungry, first find a place to eat. Pondered, there is an open rice roadside Stanford, another fast-food supplies. Jumping the queue bar is here!
5 yuan, two dirty two elements, plus a soup, pretty good. Eat, and Pakistan began a diary of Mama Zui. This does not, one embarked on a Shoubu Zhu, and first wrote about here bar!
2:00 PM, the amendment is completed, the starting. Wide road straight south, I wore the sun quick trip. Here spots this: the lunch, my whole body were painted on the exposed parts of the sunscreen! Within a short while, went to the bridge and mount the bridge, the original is "Guijiang Bridge", over the bridge, you come to the urban areas of the South China Sea!
Greeted by an eight-lane, plus bike lanes on both sides of the "South Sea Road." The road width is pretty rare in recent years, vigorously pursued throughout the city construction "× × Avenue," "× × Square" almost every city and county. Amazing is that the dense tree-lined street, the street can not see that garbage, on both sides of the architectural design beautiful patchwork!
Heard you say that the South China Sea and the Foshan urban area have already integrated with Sure enough. When I turn right onto Wenchang Road, a few hundred meters ahead, taking note of signs front of the store is already "Foshan × × shop" of.
In Foshan city cruise cruise went to the "Foshan ancestral temple," said Huang Fei-hong pedestrians in the ancestral temple of martial arts on the inside, so a special trip to pay a formal visit. To the temple door, on both sides of the walls hung with two big red banner: "Welcome to Singapore to visit China Dunhuang Light Opera Festival Chaozong benefit performance" and so on. The door stood a few large billboards, then visiting Singapore Drama Workshop is to introduce the main repertoire and performers, as well as background information. One of the elements that caught my interest: Singapore Dunhuang Drama Workshop, the first time staged opera in English! Cantonese opera in English! That is sung in English instead of Cantonese opera! Opera fans understand? Really incredible! Dunhuang is probably the Singapore Drama Workshop in order to meet the English language in Singapore who was creative, right? However, the attempt is needed, innovation for development. Thought several times before, "wide slope and developed really Burongyia!
The former is the Pak Tai Temple in Temple, is said to attack the anti-Qing Foshan Yijun, Pak spirit appeared and defeated the volunteers to help Guanfu imperial government reported to the court to receive the awards, from reputation in saints like clouds. Also, according to historical records, the Qing Empress years repair stage, gold wall magnificent, richly ornamented, called the "Ave Taiwan", surrounding the stage are to be proud of this one speech, usually premiere ceremony were held here. Therefore, Singapore English, Cantonese opera, China Dunhuang Theater premiere was held on the Temple.
Spent 20 yuan tickets carts to meet one of this country Fumiyasu unit. Members are not allowed to charge that the vehicles could not enter. I explained that for a long time, and taking one step back the request on the ticket next to the car, but not accommodating! Not what I do not want to stop, but to visit a temple, as there is no parking spots! I wanted the car parked nearby, but in some places not allowed to stop in some places is not safe, really annoyed! Simply refund, I do not visit Not yet!
Return the ticket money, surrounded by a bunch of beggars up. I just gave a kindly old lady 1 yuan money, the other old man the old beggar woman thought I was the God of Wealth! I can too much ah, I have to flee quickly and resolutely to ignore!
Tui Zhuoche to see temple walls, Wong Fei-hung windows are a memorial introduced. Introduction Mon-Fri 10:00 am every day, Saturdays and Sundays 10:00, 3:00 pm with martial arts. Today is Thursday, performing time has elapsed, but fortunately, there is no vote buying into, or want to see not see!
3:30, left temple, over the first road to the Shing Mun Road, Foshan, south. The Shing Mun Tau Road, Fenjiang Road, Fenjiang West fork in the road and found a pretty special thing. This crossing the road can only pass of motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians can take the underground. Nor is it underground tunnels, but an underground flower beds, pass to each intersection. I was the first city intersection (East) I made a flower bed, spare a circle, but never out Fenjiang West Rao, a look wrong, and then the next flower the first road bypass to the exit gate. Is really a maze, I have be dangerous and a bit dizzy!
Evening he would be rushed to the Ronggui town accommodation, time is a little nervous. Go to Foshan Avenue, I accelerated the speed camera is also decreasing. Lanshi quickly to the bridge, cross the bridge is the city of Foshan. Roadside make another few. Across the bridge to see a group of people crowd the workers building bridges, but also shot a few.
Washed under the bridge, all the way across the road to see "Music from the steel market," the characters sign. When the flat side step, high-rise building residential side, river willow, making life difficult to imagine this is a town.
Re-emerged a few kilometers overpass, according to estimates, I turn left under the bridge, saw a rise of road signs, Daliang 27KM, Zhuhai, 126KM. Oh, there are so many multi-ah, we should pay close attention to another!
Look steadily, attentively, put all my energy to use their feet. Faster than on-street bike more than a month by me. However, the legs felt sore, coupled with a stomach exhaust smoke, especially the big trucks of smoke and noise, so I am a little vomiting.
Riding to 5:00 in one breath, just see the side of the road a villa area, entrance and beautiful environment, and in this short break. Drink of water, hand-ah Shiver Shiver feet, and then issued a message to Zhang.
After 5 minutes back on the road, then climbed over several bridges, spare a few small bends, and finally arrived around 5:40 Daliang, Shunde city that is the location.
Turn left into the urban areas, 10km ride and then go straight to the Ronggui. See the road signs to "Ronggui 10km, Zhuhai 109km", feel a daunting journey tomorrow. Is not yet black, decided to ride to the Ronggui accommodation.
Is also a big slope. Vehicles are the most loose stall speed, but each step on one foot still feels very heavy. Just dash to big-liang effort has almost run out, and now almost exhausted Leihuo is a marathon, they finally reached the summit of the hill. Large drops of perspiration soaked hair, ticking falling into the earth. Top of the hill there is a fairly high-end restaurants, smell more rains are hungry!
A drink of water conditioning atmosphere, business resumed bar! Quite steep downhill speed is accelerating. As the weather has been late, depending on the material has been unclear, I kept the brakes. Both sides of the Sound from the Dark wind, could not help but shuddered.
Down the slope, street lights have been lit, neon lights are also a variety of contests. Suddenly, he saw a familiar words: "MACRO", quickly stopping to take photographs to commemorate.
In front is a bridge, rongqi bridge. Laborious final effort, ride the bridge top, front of a light: Kelon, allow voice and a familiar brand advertising rushing toward us, Ronggui finally arrived.
From the sports side of the road to see the city while riding a hotel-style guest houses, signs and advertisements. From east to west, from south to north, there is not even turn for a long time to find a place to stay.
Next on a bridge opening, I entered a strange city to another test of luck. Riding for quite some way, still do not see the sign of the hotel. Is also a crossroads, roadside shop's proprietress chatting, we might ask bar. Try to use less standard Cantonese asked: "Times that, while you have moo hotel?" "Yes. Turn left before the line would have." Wonderful. My cart left, and then walk 10 meters, street lights on one of the shops, came closer, not a hotel, is shampoo shop. Further forward, but also a dimly lit shops, hotels finally arrived. My God, I find you find a half dead!
Single room, 30 yuan 1. Well, there is room on the line. Paid a 50 yuan (20 yuan a deposit), I carried the car a second floor room 202. Open the door, eager to see the bed, lying immediately up, legs overturned! Good comfortable!
Washed my face, wiped out two apples, finally pressure of cross-gas come. Stomach also started cooing and ordered. Out of hotels, cruise the streets for quite some way, be considered to find a food and beverage outlets. A Shuangpi Nai, a beef brisket noodles, came, after a few minutes had entered my stomach, it took all of 7 5.
Do not panic fed belly heart. Patted the stomach to stroll the streets, and then slowly walked back to hotel. Back to the hotel door, could not help but give it to take photographs, leaving behind its name, "Xinghua Hotel." Also rejuvenating it, good hotel big ambitions.
In the town the streets find a comprehensive written a few characters on the market, "a good city, an integrated market." "A good city?" There should Ronggui town, ah, how will there's a good city? Is Ronggui town, also known as a good market? Back to the hotel holding doubt can not help asking innkeeper. Hotel owner pointed to the address on the business license, "good city, town, Shunde Ronggui × number" tells me that a good city is one of the brigade Ronggui the former name of the town, whose name has been retained. I see!
