Other than that, we have ridden all over Hubei, and can say there is some fantastic riding on the west side. Roads are not quite at the level of some of the eastern provinces, but they're advancing fast, so I'm sure you will find some lovely places to go. I would go for the JH600 again, you're going to need the speed to break free of the city and get to the good stuff.

Average pollution day, looking across the Yangtze from our hotel room. The water and air were absolutely disgusting.



Western side of Hubei, somewhere between Wudangshan and Shennongjia. Stunning scenery, roads and villages. Loved this part of Hubei.



Good luck with the move and welcome back to China!

Cheers!

Greetings ChinaV & Thanks For The Info,

Air/water pollution is a very serious problem in most of the industrialized areas of China The air in Xinhui on a bad day was sort of like sucking on the tailpipe of an old city bus. On a good day it was beautiful. I may try one of those scrubber units for my apartment once I get there so I get some air minus all the other "stuff".
