Episode 17: Cycling around the world for a children's hospital, Cycling into China

[@ADAMEDWARDS17]

Fantastic achievement getting to China. I followed Ed Pratt when he unicycled through China (via KZbin) so looking forward to seeing what happens to you.

[@Geocycling1993]

Thank you 😀 haha I still can't believe he went through this country on a unicycle, considering how much climbing there is! It's been a great experience so far and I'm really excited to edit the videos of my journey through 😀

China …. you’ve cycled to China 😀 (A) Thats nuts And (B) Well done. Hope its still going ok, from the looks of your tracker you are still making some serious progress. Remember, if China is a bit short of other touring cyclists, theres more than 1,000 subscribers with you!

[@Geocycling1993]

Hahaha thank you so much for your kind words 😀 I'm nearing Vietnam now after cycling nearly 3000 miles of this country so far. Thank you, it's been really nice sharing this trip with you all 😀

[@bretthanson5264]

Ayoo, congratulations on making it! I am loving following along, and all of the information is really helpful for me planning my trip starting in January. Keep pedaling!!!

[@Geocycling1993]

Thank you so much 😀 I'm really happy the videos are helping you with your planning 🙂 What is your planned route? Also, feel free to message me if you have any questions 🙂

[@Geocycling1993]

Thank you 😀 it's amazing how much the scenery changed when crossing the border and it was a great feeling getting to China.

Sitting here watching this with a Chinese takeaway in front of me which has a much to do with china as fish and chips🤣 wow it looks like china is booming not like here ☹️ thanks for another great video cheers mate 👍

[@Geocycling1993]

Hahaha 🤣 I can't say I have seen any chicken chow meins 😂 it's honestly amazing how developed China is, considering how little amount of time this country went from a poor agricultural nation to what it is now. No problem and thank you for your continued support mate, it's greatly appreciated 🙂

[@wannagobiking9071]

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. 11:29 We cycled Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in July and August. Loved Almaty and the quiet roads we found. But it looks as if the motorways are doable too. Happy travels Kurt and Darina

[@Geocycling1993]

Hi Kurt and Darina. It's great to hear that you had the chance to cycle Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan , as they are amazing places to experience on a bike 😀 The highways were pretty quiet and they felt safe to cycle 🙂 I would have loved to see more of Kyrgyzstan, so maybe I'll go back and explore the Pamirs in the future 🙂 take care of yourselves!

I've been really looking forward to seeing your China content - it is crazy how different it appeared as soon as you crossed the border! And the three hour time zone jump would have really messed with my head 😆

[@Geocycling1993]

Oh it was pretty mind blowing to have spent three days in barren landscapes to be surrounded by people and highrises, such a contrast and it even made the landscapes look entirely different. Hahaha 🤣 it took me a long time to get my bearings with the time zone, as the sun didn't rise until 10am and set until 9pm 🤣 When I cross into Vietnam, I go back an hour after cycling 3400 miles 🤔

[@iamjoestafford]

@@Geocycling1993 Haha, that's crazy! And to think I struggle with the 1 hour change to France and Holland! 🤣

[@Geocycling1993]

@iamjoestafford hahaha 🤣 I use to struggle with that too, but somehow I think I'm cured 🤣
