We are off to the distant peaks, bathed in sunlight.
We turn right. We're headed to a large(ish) hydro power project. The authorities use excess electricity during off-peak times to pump water up the valley, and then let it fall back down the valley at peak times. This significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the area.
This is a university student who rode to the area just so he can say he rode up the climb.
Note the bike helmet. VERY MANY Chinese recreational bikers wear these helmets. Zhang Yong encourages ALL his biker friends to wear them.
