The text on the wall means something like "If you come here once and never come back, it's our fault. If you come here twice and don't come back, it's our fault". I have no idea what the smurf means.

Guandimiao - Xian--Ahnkang highway @ Guandimiao, China

The highway south from Xi'an passes some pretty rough terrain. It runs through the worlds second longest two-tube tunnel in the world at 18020 m. It is forbidden to cycle through (probably not a good idea anyway) but i went there by bus and it is pretty impressive. See here

Back in Xian @ Guodu, China

Back in Xian finally... NOT!
