The old Japanese fortress

Cycled to Tongli and stopped by the ruins of an old bunker/tower. Built by the Japanese during WW2 to have a good look at the rail- and waterway.

Inside the bunkers, someone graffitied the words 肾 (kidney) and 根治 (cure) — I’m not sure why, not even sure if it’s metaphorical in meaning or anything (probably not).

The place where I parked my bike, so I learned later, is the foundation of an old bridge.

 

The scenery:

 

An abandoned Roman (or Greek?) hotel/shopping mall/something.

 

Arriving in Tongli (同里) felt like a real personal victory — the longest distance I have gone in the last decade. Getting back into shape 💪

The GDP growth has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, but real wealth is mostly concentrated in coastal […]

There are so many ways to define Shanghai, yet a few popular icons do a lot of the talking. As the international metropolis and a symbol of China’s rising economic power, there’s the Lujiazui (陆家嘴) skyline — with the Oriental Pearl Tower (东方明珠) and high offices of Chinese and multinational corporations. There’s the Maglev train […]
