Photo Story: The Riders and Trails of Southwest China
Once again killing it Scott! A hike on Cang Shan 10 years ago made me change my mind about leaving China. Sad to see you may be on your way out soon?

Well done Scott! Great article again. So cool to see this kind of development all over the country.

@richierocket: I grew up just south of you in the wet so totally understand avoiding it. They did hit this region at the peak of the rainy season - I have had any dry trips in those mountains. It's not the desert, but it isn't always this bad.

You did a really good job capturing what that part of the world looks and feels like, the wet, cold, clouds, forests, mountains, people. I lived in Sichuan for a few years and the mountains there are really special and unlike anywhere else I have been. Thanks for bringing back good memories!

Can't believe I am watching this! I have thought about this route for years. The mountains of west Sichuan are really special. Thanks for the inspiration to get back out and explore the big mountains of China!

A Story About the Riding Scene in China's Yunnan Province
@scottay2hottay: You are living a dream I have had! Worked and traveled through Yunnan many times over the past ten years but never with a bike. Coming through again in December (again without bike) but if you have time I would love to hear more about the riding over some 米线. Mind if I add you on wechat?

A Story About the Riding Scene in China's Yunnan Province
@extremekid: Like the others said there is a big scene there. I lived in Chengdu from 2009-2013 and rode a ton in the hills east of the city near Longquanyi (龙泉驿). Definitely contact the guys posting on here. Trails are short but super fun and unique.

Tales From Southwest China's Downhill Scene
@scottay2hottay: You confirmed everything I have been thinking about Yunnan! Traveled there a bunch over the years but usually for work and without a bike. Next time will bring one a long and shoot you a message! Great write up - so happy to see China's amazing goat trails getting recognition!
