Yangtze Delta Rally - Driving day 5: Ningguo to Huzhou / Anji

Distance: 146 km

The day of rest was more than welcome for some participants, because they had technical problems. For us, and many other participants, this wasn’t the case and we went for a boat tour on the Qinglong lake, which was amazing and quiet compared to what we had experienced the last couple of days. After our boat trip, we drove back to the hotel for some free time and to dress up for the evening. The dinner was served in a beautiful ballroom. Here we danced until the early hours...

The next morning we left early. There was an impressive ceremony held in a local park. Again a big crowd! You seldom see so many people at the start of a classic car event! After about a thousand pictures with locals, we were able to start the Alvis and drove out of town. With a policeman on every intersection, we could drive on without any delay. It was wonderful!

The roads were the best so far, mountain roads, lakes in the valley, typical Chinese towns and many people waving on the side of the road. The halfway stop was in a little village named Qianqiu. Here the locals proudly performed a traditional ceremony/show for us with music and acting. The second part of the route in the afternoon was fantastic! We drove over the most amazing roads! Small, narrow and with hairpin bends in a bamboo forest. The Alvis loved it! And so did we! We stopped at a bamboo museum and finished early at a beautiful hotel. While writing this report, we are enjoying a cold beer in the sun!

Tomorrow the last day, back to Shanghai!
