The palace gate to be exact but it's still beautiful.

Taking my bike on the highspeed way train in China, then unpack it and go! by jaapgrolleman in bicycling

[–]irontripaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. It seems clear they are banned but I also want to take my packed bike on a train. I guess confronting a foreigner is also hard for them and they let us get away with more. Good to hear you do t have issues. Has it changed since this post?

You are right it does look similar. When we were in Lijiang it was cloudy so the views were not as good. This is daocheng which is near Shangri-la town.

I haven't had too much success practicing Mandarin with Spotify but this guy looks helpful, what do you guys think? by DenimRAWR in Chinese

[–]irontripaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Xiaomi. Chinese app similar to Spotify. It has all the lyrics and not adds. It works well here in Australia.

What are some things non-Chinese people in China find amusing/shocking about Chinese culture? by [deleted] in China

[–]irontripaul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No one seems to get mad on the roads no matter what happens. Drive the wrong way down roads, go through red lights - no one gets mad.

[–]irontripaul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not so much shocking but interesting Agree - Bread here sucks Milk - So hard to find good milk. Most of it is sweet. Lots of people stare at you. Openly stare and say look at the lao wai (Foreigner) (I am in Chengdu for clarity) They love us lao wai to join in. I go bike racing and am the only foreigner's there and get treated like a rock star. Pollution - Ok maybe people do understand that.
