About Me

I'm a traveler go with bike,I think this is challenge of my life.I always want to see how far I can do.I am a talkative guy.Share my story with anyone. Before I started from Tibet all the way to Paris. But I was refused to enter England by the border control for some special reason (I am not a terrorist nor drug taker if this is what you think.) So,I came back to Hong Kong. I learnt from the past and ready for my second bike travel to Europe.

8/7/2015 UPDATE

After 6 months I am ready for the second round. Got a new bike,earn enough money. Improved my skills and knowledge about backpacking. This time I will visit South Europe and explore something new. As my second time travel,I hope I can see the world with a new perspective. I really enjoy the feeling when you experience the same things with a new mind. It will be so different and that's what I expect from my up-coming journey.

2 months biking,arrived Lhasa,Tibet. Got a job as a bookstorekeeper. Rest up and earn some cash for the next journey. This is just a middle of my trip. I will start again next summer on July. I will ride from here to Beijing,will leave to Russia from there. Going to write a book and sell some stuff on internet. It was a nice time on the way to Tibet. I met many nice friends. Learn how to make a good picture. Visited a nice village in Yubeng. Worked at a hostel. See the awesome "Golden mountain" in Yunnan. Broke my limit as I climb from 1800m to 4200m in one day used 13hours biking. Biked down one of the dangerous highway in tbe world "NuJiang 72 turns". Worked with the farmer in GuangXi while we just passed by and it was a sudden move. Fell from my bike while rushing down with 40km/h and amazingly scratch my hand only. Drove to LuGu Lake used 2 days and the view was totally worthy. Met a bike traveler who draw a nice protrait of me and listened to his awesome story. Climbed a hugh mountain from 1400 to 0100 on the way to ShangriLa and a nice local inviteed me to stay at his place. Circled 3 times under the sacred waterfall in YuBeng. Saw a tank platoon near the border. Met a bunch of girls ride a motocycle to Tibet. Saw more than 100 bikes and riders at the same hostel and we shared our stories and drank all night. Conquer 2 mountain which over 5000m. Biked 200 km the last day to Lhasa,exhausted but great victory. Fall in love with a girl. So many memories and stories.
