Next time I fly over to will be in March for the - which is Asia's largest trade show and the 2nd-largest worldwide.
Right after the show, I have been invited for a four-day trip that should be truly awesome:
We'll be picked up by a van from Nangang Exhibition Center in and shuttled down to the Wujie tribe in district.
On day 2, we'll ride the Wuba highway on mountain bikes, on day 3 along the Zeng Wengxi river on gravelbikes. 1/2
