One of the oldest civilizations in the world, responsible for many major inventions such as the compass, paper, banknote or gunpowder.
Discover the story of our 2 months spent pedaling in this oh so surprising country. Follow our bikes from the mountains of Yunnan to the Chinese megacities, discover with us the passes over 4000m and the Tibetan culture of Sichuan. I hope this film will succeed in conveying what we felt during our journey to the land of the rising sun – and by the way sorry to have taken so long to finish it. Thanks to the patches released for their shots: lesrustinesliberees.wordpress.com Don’t hesitate…
Where were we on May 14? Yes, we wrote this article on time, but Mongolian internet connections caused us to fall behind in publishing ...
From Xi’an to Beijing we discover another China. Urban China, the China of the North so different from that of the South. But it's also a 15-day reception by great people.
Ça y est, vous avez votre visa chinois en poche, vous êtes prêts à passer la frontière. Complètement prêts, vous êtes sûrs ? Petit retour d’expérience de trucs tout bêtes que nous avons appris lors de notre séjour et qu’il est utile de savoir selon nous, avant d’arriver en Chine (à pied, bien sûr !)
Bon, c’est pas tellement possible, mais la photo vous fait croire que je suis en train de le faire non ? Même à pied c’est tendu 🙂 Hier on a fait 6h de balade sur ce monument qui fait partie de l’une des nouvelles merveilles du monde, proche d’une ferme-auberge tenue par une famille vraiment sympa qu’on vous conseille : le great wall fresh. Le coin est magnifique et sur une grande partie de la balade on est seuls (on n’a croisé personne !) au milieu de la…
We drank tea in China every day. But one day, a rich Chinese we met at a restaurant in Leshan invited us to his home and offered us a traditional tea ceremony!
Kangding, surprising city After the crazy day on the bus that we told you about the last time, we had the whole weekend to rest and visit the city of Kangding. We were very surprised by the still very important presence of Tibetan culture in this Sichuan city which is starting to be far from it, Tibet. Everywhere in the streets we met Tibetans and their beautiful typical faces and their characteristic clothes. We also met a lot of monks (and nuns) in their robes ...
That's it, it's been a month that we are in China and 7 months of travel in all. Small return on this last month ...
In this article, climbs, cold, fatigue and difficulties ... but also superb landscapes and beautiful encounters, through an area that once belonged to Tibet and where this culture has been preserved.
After much hesitation, we decided to go rub shoulders with the drops in the Yunnan mountains (rather than the karst rocks of the Guilin region). Why this choice over the other? The beauty of the landscapes, the few tourists and the urbanization of this area, and then in addition, two other cyclists will ride with us: Emilie and Jérémie, the patches released! But before finding them, a crazy day awaits us ...
Say hello to: A panda I present to you Pandi Panda, the friendly panda, seen in Chengdu, China! Read our article on Kangsing, Leschan, Chengdu and Xi’an A Tiger Lots of striped cats in Asia, does it matter? No ? Well, we also hesitated to photoshop one of our photos, but we will be sincere… no tiger this year! Monkeys Oh yeah, and we saw them up close. In Koh Chang, the edges of villages are their paradise.
