RaD Episode 33:
We finally make it to the proper countryside of Fujian, China and visit the fascinating Tulou homes, meet local Hakka people and continue the cycling journey in China. Cycle touring China at it's best!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++Wait, what's RaD?: Ryan And Darin (that's us! yes...we both have boy names...is that weird?). Get it? ...r And d...RAD.
++The Adventure: riding our bikes around a bunch of different places in this world for a year. Seeing new sights, trying new foods, meeting lots of new people, visiting old friends and generally having a swell ol' time challenging ourselves to EXPLORE MORE(!) from the saddle of a bicycle. Yay!

Your smile and enthusiasm are infectious! I especially loved your interactions with the locals.

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Lonnie Bartz getting to interact with the locals is definitely one of my favorite parts of travel in China! So much more interesting when I can engage with the locals 😊

@vivianfrerichs7515 5 лет назад

I agree with you Lonnie :)

@WheelersAtLarge 5 лет назад

So many just wild camp and keep to themselves but we love that you mix with locals, it makes the story so much more interesting 👍 Thank you for showing us all the real people...

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

This comment makes our day! We often debate about wild camping to make it more "adventurous" but really a huge part of the journey for us is meeting and mingling with locals and really experiencing the culture of a place. So happy you're appreciating that too : D

@omni3670 5 лет назад

Wow! What a magical adventure! Beautiful off the main track village roads. The 土楼 tulou experience! If I am not mistaken, the tulous are considered a Unesco world heritage. Their occupants are the soft spoken Hakka families. There are many Hakka people here in Malaysia too.

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Ahh...it was so amazing. I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to cycle there. We will definitely visit Malaysia someday!

@danhoang6335 5 лет назад

Very nice, I am sure your ability to communicate in Chinese helped enhance your experience while traveling in China. However, the locals' hospitality is definitely genuine and the housing structures are very unique.

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Yes, I agree. Definitely a favorite place in China. Have you visited the Tulous before?

@alexmorgan3435 5 лет назад

You have made a very special short film. You're turning into a pretty good film maker. Loved this episode. Not a skyscraper or shopping mall in sight. You are also very modest with your grasp of Chinese. Clearly your ability to speak the language massively helps you as of course it would. Might be nice to include subtitles where you can if you can translate all that is said. Lovely family you stayed with. Looking forward to you showing us more of rural China. Keep thinking you will turn a bend and the view will be of a massive depressing city again. Thanks for sharing your journey.

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Thank you Alex. It's definitely my goal to improve with each episode. Appreciate the kind words. This is what I meant in the previous episode that riding through the smog city would surely be worth it. China is like a treasure hunt...I guess that's why I like it. Have to work for it through the gritty, but definitely rewarded with some very unique and beautiful experiences.

@wonglipmeng3472 5 лет назад

Awesome ride video in rural China.....authentic and a glimpse of what real China is in rural places as oppose to what most media portrays on lives of people there and its strong cultural identity. Great stuff on par if not better than NatGeo .

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Yes, rural China is such a beautiful place with beautiful, kind people. Thanks so much for the compliment!

@@radbikeadventure I've only done one overnighter bike packing trip in Colorado where I live. I'm hosting another overnighter for national bike travel weekend at the beginning of June. I hope to get some more under my belt but I've just started getting into it!

@radbikeadventure 4 года назад

So happy you’re enjoying our videos. Yes, I wish I would have put maps in those videos now. We are working on creating route links on Komoot for all sections of our trip. Right now a google map (in the description) shows where we traveled during our trip 😊

Not that I’ve ever been in one but when you entered the first tulou i was reminded of a bull fighting ring.

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Haha...i could get that...like spectators could be looking from all around. It's pretty cool to be inside of one! And glad there were no bulls lol

I had been on perhaps the “same “ route hhhh but on February around Spring festival of China, riding from Guangzhou to Xiamen. We passed those similar Tulous without staying

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Oh crazy! Just missed each other. How was your experience?

@willhunting9718 5 лет назад

rad bike adventure hhh We can only take advantage of the short ten days of winter vocation before the spring festival so it’s a little short. But the foods in the south is amazing! Because I come from the North part of China hhhh. R U still riding? Good luck

Hi! Great video, your Chinese is 很好！I want to ask you a question about the Chinese Visa. How did you prepare and obtain it? Did you plan in advance or did you just show up to the country and get stamped in?

@vivianfrerichs7515 5 лет назад

What... wha??? You speak Chinese? That's impressive! High respect to you for that. How did you learn that..?

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Ryan lived in China for a year and half teaching english and lived with a host family who didn't speak english! Her host father and her tutor helped her with learning Mandarin. She also would just go to the markets and find the right people to talk to who were patient enough to help her with Mandarin. We definitely reap the reward when traveling in China by speaking a little bit of Mandarin!

@radbikeadventure 5 лет назад

Brian Tyhy Hi Brian! Thanks for checking out our channel. It’s definitely an exciting and culture rich place to cycle but not without its challenges! Yes, I do speak some basic, conversational Mandarin. Well worth it to learn some if you plan on extensive travel there. Are you learning or do you plan to?

@jiajunsun3845 3 года назад

Did you import your bikes or did buy your bikes in China?

@radbikeadventure 3 года назад

We brought our bikes with us. We took a boat from taiwan to China. And kept them in the cargo area of the boat. On our first trip to China we bought bikes there. They weren’t the best but they worked.
