A Bicycle Ride from Yangzhou to Guiyang 从扬州到贵阳的骑行
From winter into spring, through cities and villages, back toward rivers and mountains, for its own joy. 冬去春来，穿城越乡，溯源山泽，自得其乐。

Departure 出发
Plans Failed. The Ride Started Anyway. 计划失效，骑行照常开始。
The first plan was Taiwan: sea wind, island roads, the Pacific. A visa reply closed it. The fallback line from Jiangsu to Fujian loosened on the road. What remained was simpler: start from Yangzhou/Zhenjiang and keep riding west. 台湾未成行，江苏到福建的路线也松动了。最后只剩下更简单的一件事：从扬州/镇江出发，一路向西。
Jiangnan 江南
City After City, Road After Road. 城接着城，路接着路。
Zhenyang Ferry, Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou. Winter Jiangnan arrived as canals, alleys, repair shops, and city limits. After Suzhou, the line bent through Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Yiwu, Jinhua, and Quzhou. Flat tires and detours divided the trip into smaller daily pieces. 江南是运河、巷子、修车店和一个接一个的城市边界；爆胎和绕路把旅程切成更小的日常。
Inland 内陆
Repairs Became Part Of The Route. 修车也成了路线的一部分。
Jiangxi brought cold, rough roads, and repeated repairs. In Hunan, the route moved from Changsha and Yueyang toward Changde, Zhangjiajie, Furong Town, and Jishou. Night markets, hotels, tire patches, riders, and rideshares joined the map line. 江西的冷、湖南的夜市、旅馆、补胎、骑友和打车，都进入了同一条路线。
Guizhou 贵州
Mountains, Towns, And Arrival. 山路、城镇与抵达。
Guizhou turned the road vertical: Tongren, Zhenyuan, Kaili, Duyun, Longli, Guiyang. Potholes, slopes, rock walls, bridges, and villages replaced the city grid. At the finish, the bike was worn out and left behind. Taiwan, Fujian, and Tibet stayed unfinished; this road was enough. 坑洼、坡、岩壁、桥和村寨替代了城市网格。到贵阳时，车废了，路也够了。
