This week was a rainy week so I wasn't able to have my after-school bike rides. I was thus hoping for a rain-less Saturday and although I woke up to overcast skies, the forecast was only 45% chance of rain hence I went for a bike ride at about 6:40 A.M. after breakfast. My intention was to go in the direction of Ci Cheng which is about 10 km from my place and to cross a railroad crossing and explore another part where I haven't been to. I was also hoping to see trains especially since it was still early and the place that I have been intending to go has train tracks. I was not disappointed for I saw cargo and passenger trains. I also crossed a railroad crossing on bike for the first time, NOT under it but over it and I was happy after I did so. It only takes a little to make me happy and it's things like these that really fill my heart.

The photos below are photos that I took during my 22-km bike ride this morning. Enjoy!

there were very few cars on the road early this morning - I wasn't even on the bike lane! I actually went to my lane right after taking this photo :)

THIS is MY lane:)

It's an overcast Saturday morning.

train tracks - I love these!

Ningbo,China's highways and bike lanes :)

Another place that I haven't been to before. I love discovering new places in this part of China with my bike. 

rice fields, etc.

I found this building at the end of a road that I took.

a cargo train passes by

part of an elevated train track for an even faster bullet train which will shorten the travel time from Ningbo to Shanghai by almost 50% - target year for project completion is 2015

power lines

fishing is one of the favorite past times of the locals

I loved biking around here! :)

expanding the area for planting

Was I glad I took the less trodden route! I love this view!

Another tree-lined street - I can't get enough of these!

flower of a plant the name of which escapes me 

 A man taking out a child, probably his, on a morning walk.

After exploring the place , I am waiting for the railroad crossing gates to open again. :)

another cargo train zoomed by while we wait

An underway passage which I would have wanted to explore if not for the water brought about by the previous days' rain. I'd love to be under this when a train passes above! :)

This place was all mine for about 15 minutes this morning as I waited for trains to pass by. I can't get enough of trains! :)

a thin metal fence separates me from the tracks

I went home via the Hong Tang route and I had to pass under this railway bridge.

I dropped by Vanguard Supermarket to buy meat, coffee, and eggs. I then went to the public market to buy fruits and vegetables. Produce is so cheap in the public market that I spent only 4 USD (~PhP270.00) for food that'll last for the next five days. 

All photos in this post were taken using a Nikon Coolpix S6000.

This is #Mutianyu, a section of the #GreatWallOfChina covered almost entirely by #mountains and a vast #forest. The #GreatWall winds around this #steep landscape like a curvy dragon. #MutianyuGreatWall was a ton of fun. Kathee and I rode a #skilift up to the top, took in a #spectacularview of #China🇨🇳, and rode a #toboggan (for around 7 minutes) to the bottom.

One of my favorite #buildings in #beijingchina is #WanJingSoho. #Soho is a Chinese #architecture firm that creates cool facilities and then rents out the space to vendors. These three buildings in #WanJing reminded me of #skippingstones and it changes shape as you orbit the #building! What's your favorite building around the world? . . . . #travelingchina #china🇨🇳 #modernchina #chinatrips #chinatravel #beijing #chinatravelstory #chinatravels #chinatrip (at Beijing, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1oUjP2gLJD/?igshid=1p15odztfz4nl
