09-28-2011, 09:51 AMUntil 3 years ago i lived in Jinan, Shandong Province. Jinan of course being the home of Qingqi. I got my GY200 straight form the factory with discount (fiend of a friend) and whenever i had a problem i used to take it to my man in R&D to sort out... those were the days!
I rode out to the coast a couple of times, but most of my riding I did in and around the Tai Shan area. Although not a huge area, it offers some beautiful sights: natural and man-made. Once again, sorry for this being not much of a report. Still, i hope its worthwhile posting my pics here.
The first bike i owned, Sikifu 125. This is the only pic i have of her but she served me well.
Loaded for a trip
Harvested terraces made for good camping spots
You've been warned
Finding the right campsite can take a bit of effort, but its worth it.
Probably looking for a place to camp.

Yeah, we visit this area often too, loads tucked away in the valleys, lots to explore. Never camped here though so kudos to you for that! Some of the areas around the South East of Jinan to the Northern slopes of Taishan are the best areas.
Anyone riding Qingdao-Beijing or Shanghai-Beijing would be well advised to break the trip for a night or two in these hills.

09-29-2011, 01:44 AMGreat post! Great pix. Love the shot of you camping next to the entrance to a cave. Did you venture in?
Another interesting feature of those Taishan slopes: naturally growing wild cannabis. ZMC888 showed me!
cheers!jkp

09-29-2011, 04:13 AMThats right Euphonius, the herb is growing wild and free! Inside the cave was a shrine so i paid my respects and didnt venture too far in.
ZMC888: I envy you still living up there in Shandong. I really like Shandong, around Tai Shan especially. I remember i rode out to Zibo a couple of times and i found the Bo Shan area quite interesting.

Shhh! Herb s a secret! Although in Shanxi it grows bigger and more purple!
Boshan, yes that area is rather nice, I go mountain biking there a few times a week. It's quite nice here but I do crave some taller hills and fresher air.
