Through the old places

Early in the morning I’ll stop by the main gate of Shaolin Temple. I’m gonna get on the kung fu show, show the place where I camped out and lived for the first two weeks. I’ll show you how Dengfeng has changed in the last years.

From St. Petersburg to the east, with a stop at Baikal Lake. Ulaanbaatar to the Chinese border From Beijing through Guoliang to Shaolin Temple. Traveling west to Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, back to Russia through the cities .

How will I move

“Once a spring is broken through, it can flow anywhere, if the road is laid out, you can go anywhere.”

Current location

Upon arrival at the point, I throw a location into the Telegram channel, as well as information about meetings. (click on title)

The road will be mastered by on-roading
Despite the challenges of the journey, the pass of borders during the pandemic, I do not call it difficulties, I think of it as a “way”. The way is distinguished by the absence of rigid plans at intermediate points.
