We start our cycling into countryside directly and avoid the traffic, passing through quiet villages and small forest; we cycle into the perfect concrete roads built between local famer’s rice fields, surrounded by Karst scenery and small rivers.
We cycling into peaceful roads in the painting-alike countryside which is composed of flower garden, chickens, ducks and buffalos, we soon cycle into trails hidden among villages, feeling so intoxicated with how we can find such an silent world so easily.
