The Great Ride of China wasn't just about riding a motorcycle for a really really long amount of time. Amy's interest in the trip was a little more... academic than that. Check out some of the things she's been writing about China building restoration, preservation, and cultural heritage.

Taking a well earned day off in Chengde, only 220km into our trip. Don't judge! Spent the day viewing the sites and walking around the "Mountain Resort".

First day on the road! Left later than expected (but that should have been expected) and made it to our first destination- Chengde. A short and leisurely 220km drive away.
