I just returned from Chong Ming. See the pictures below: More
From tomorrow, this blog will be paused for two days (namely, Friday and Saturday) since I will travel by bicycle to Chong Ming island in the center of Yangtze River. The isolated island is the China's third largest island after Taiwan and Hainan.
The idea of travel by bicycle was inspired by some European people and by the dream of hiking in Kanas. October is just too long from now so I cannot help going out to see the island. Above all, the SARS months of May and April have almost driven me crazy. Think about, staying in the same place for the whole two months.
Thanks to ChinaQuest.com. They really did wonderful job on the GIS (Geographic Information System) of Shanghai. With their help, I found the island is not as far as I though. After the optimization of routes, it reports the distance between my house and the port of the ship shuttle is only 31,122 meters. Here is the big map.
The route ChinaQuest has suggested. I paste it in Chinese so it is more More
Travel by Bicycle
After decided to hike to Kanas, I found I was hopelessly passionate for hiking - even if I cannot hike in mountains, walking in Shanghai also seems fun. I began to walk to any places in the city as long as time permitted. For example, after taking the driver's license written exam, I walked from Xinzhuang back home covering 14 KM in 2.5 hours. I also started to walk to the place I work and back home. It is about 3 KM and costs me 50 minutes.
Tenback.org really inspired me about traveling by bicycle. They southern China on bicycle. I am so impressed that they even made it without knowing any Chinese.
What a nice idea it is. So don't be surprised if one day I do tell you I have travelled by bicycle to someplace.
Interesting to know: How to Fly without an ID
I read an article telling people how to fly without an ID (via Jeremy Zawodny's blog). I was so surprised to know that an ID is not required by law of U.S to get on board a U.S. plane. It means, if you insist More

J'ai visité l'île de Chong Ming (Chongming) pour la deuxième fois. La fois passée, j'ai fait un cycle à Chongming et suis revenu. Cette fois, j'ai conduit ma voiture et ai mis le soin sur le bateau de navette là. Conduire en Chong Ming est grande. J'avais l'habitude l'appareil-photo de Canon du j pour prendre quelques photos de ma voiture sur le bateau. Je le signalerai sur le Web demain quand j'obtiens les images.
C'est la première fois que je conduis ma voiture sur un bateau. Ma voiture était le bout à entrer et il n'y a aucune barrière derrière elle. Quand le bateau démarré, j'a été inquiété parce que ma voiture a été garée juste près du bord de la plate-forme. Elle semble que la More
