“We choose a tandem bicycle because it makes it easier to communicate with each other about beautiful landscapes we come across during the journey. Besides, bicycling is an economic and environment-friendly way of traveling in comparison to using motors, vehicles and so on,” the couple said in a letter to a photographer.<\/p>\n

The two said the aim of their journey is to get locals’ good ideas on topics such as health, economy, biology, agriculture and politics.<\/p>\n

They said they chose to visit China because they often talked about how much of the country is very competitive in developing renewable energy resources.<\/p>\n

“We know China is a densely-populated country and will be the leader of the global economy in the future. We want to get a better understanding of the country and its residents. We love the country,” they said.<\/p>\n
