It's sometime good to detour.
遠回りも良いもんだ。



Chinese local roads are very bad condition, so I don't want to cycle. But no choice to cycle up north without taking this route.
中国のローカル道はコンディションが悪くて、走るのが本当に不安。でもこのルートしか北上ルートがない。



I cycled Chonza to Batang where the road going along the border of Tibet. People and the view were super nice beside the road was very bad.
中咱(チョンザ)→巴塘(バタン)までチベット自治区に入るか入らないかというオフロードを走って来たが、景色も良いし人も最高に良かった。道は最悪だったけど。



People were always smiling at me, said hello and gave me batter tea.
みんなニコニコ挨拶してくるし、何度バター茶なんかをご馳走になった事か。



However, there were many police check points, and I encountered 3 times.
反面、本当に小さな村にまで公安の検問があって3回は止められて質問を受けた。


Questions they usually gave me were "where I'm cycling from", "where I'm going", "show my photos" etc...
だいたい、どっから来たのか、何処へ行くのか、写真を見せろ、等々。


This is good or bad, my both cam had been broken. They didn't check my memory cards.
運が良いのか悪いのか、カメラは全部壊れてるから、メモリカードの内容チェックはされないで済んだ。


In Xiangcheng, I met a guy from France who cycle and hitch both; We just talked a few min because he was on his way. He left me a message in Chonza and said police didn't let him go further.
多城で少しだけしゃべったフランス人ヒッチ・サイクリストは中咱で止められて、退去させられてしまったそうだ。


Really, if these such asses, police are not on the road, the cycling become more fun.
本当、こいつら(公安)さえいなければ最高なのにな～
