Meishan – Chengdu – 98 km
Slightly warmer than the previous days, we set out anew in the direction of
Chengdu. Chengdu was a vast city with a population of 13 million, and the entire
way was through built-up areas. Still, riding into the city and finding the city
centre was straightforward, but locating the well-known Sims Guesthouse was
more problematic than expected.
Sims Guesthouse was located after navigating the city for over an hour in peak-
hour traffic and darkness. The place seemed nice, but expensive in comparison to
other accommodation. We nevertheless booked in as I had had enough of
pedalling along busy, multi-lane roads in the company of thousands of cars,
buses, bicycles, motorbikes, and dangerous silent electric scooters.
