Today's ride was very much easier than yesterday,as we started with the continuous downhill from Fenqihu , but soon the climbs became a roller coastal.the scenery was nothing to shout about,looks like not a popular route for either tourists nor cyclists.Lots of pinang trees growing on both side of the road.All of the sudden, there was a 15km splendid downhill to Chukou,where we arrived just in time before the road is closed for contruction,as we can see the workers controlling the traffic on both sides.After the sweet downhill,now we had to start the climb again. We decided to stop early today as we saw a nice campsite near Chunglun hotspring,but the weather is a bit hot for us to visit,besides it's rather expensive. There is a roadside restaurant but closed for business,but we could use the outside basin for our water supple and bathe, and also a charging power point by the roadside,to call it a day.
