Features: A long-distance cycling adventure in China by a foreigner, the China and Chinese people as seen and written by a foreigner through his lens, and an act of love and dedication—where all the author's royalties and the publisher's profits from this book are donated to Chinese orphans suffering from heart disease. Want to learn more about Sitofu or his adventures? Don't miss this book. Starting from Kashgar in Xinjiang, Sitofu cycled from the Dead Valley at an altitude of 5,400 meters to the entrance of the Forbidden City. After conquering the Dead Valley at 5,400 meters, he reached Ali. Following him, he trekked around the sacred mountain of Mount Kailash and the holy lake of Lake Manasarovar in Tibet. After crossing the Himalayas, he arrived in Lhasa. Then, he cycled along the Yarlung Tsangpo River and the Lancang River to Yunnan, and visited the mountain tribes in Guizhou. After that, he traveled through Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Jinan along a route never traveled by anyone before, finally reaching his destination—Beijing, after 105 days. During this time, countless Chinese people had enthusiastically helped Sitofu achieve his dream. They did so not for fame or profit, but to help the children in need. Currently, the Yangqi Plan has raised two million yuan, and 17 children have successfully undergone heart surgery. All of this has made Sitofu even more convinced that everything he has sacrificed is worthwhile.
