So I see you are filing via Macbook Air. I can't imagine there's wifi in those little restaurants. Are you getting online via GPRS? Bluetooth tether to your mobile phone? Or a separate GPRS USB modem? Whatever you are using, it's effective!

I'll be interested to hear your final verdict on hitting such an "officially designated scenic area" during a high-season weekend. I guess on the one hand it's nice to have friendly people around to help with repairs and logistics, but on the other it must be vexing to have to dodge those fleets of tourists dutifully following their flag-waving tour guides and snapping "I was here" pix at every turn...

Ride safely!
Thanks euphonius.

I am actually using a Unicom WCDMA modem at 80RMB/month. Not bad. It delivers even skype video in decent quality. Besides that, some of the hotels in bigger towns do have internet access in the rooms.

I agree, for us it is not too nice, when things are getting crowded during high season, but TIC and the people in this country seem not to be too sensitive about it. Sometimes I think they even like when it is crowded. For us, we expected it to be more busy and it it would have been too much, well, we have bikes, we know how to escape.... It seems we were really lucky at Wuyishan for being there early in the year. There were toll booths at some places, but people didn't seem to bother. They cashed in on cars at some places.

Hope all is good with you Jeff,
greetings,
AW.
