Riding toward Maoming

Katherine's coastal Guangdong cycling series continues on day four, technically day five because she took a rest day. She begins with fried rice at a local breakfast shop and crosses a bridge from the city toward the countryside. Along the way she sees the water buffalo that has appeared during her trip and pauses to say goodbye. The road becomes long and straight, so she listens to podcasts while riding. She notices chickens and a solar farm under construction, a mix of rural life and new infrastructure.

At one stop, Katherine comes across a business combining KFC and McDonald's, but chooses noodles instead. She looks for a snack and finds local protein and chips at a small spot. The route includes a challenging bridge with a scenic view, and during golden hour she rides through a forest where drying meat and fragrant blossoms appear beside the road. Traffic slows her before she reaches her hotel in Maoming.

Beaches and the end of the ride

In Maoming, Katherine explores the coast and finds a beach near a fishing village, away from the main tourist areas. Boats line the shore, and she notices tiny balls of sand made by crabs. A hammock woven from fishing net provides another detail of local coastal life. She then visits Maoming's best-known beach, which is quiet, perhaps because of the season.

The sun sets as she completes the day's cycling. Katherine reflects on the route, the stops and the discoveries she made along the way, and thanks viewers for joining her virtually. This part of the 400-kilometer solo bike tour pairs ordinary road stretches with village food, coastal scenery and beaches. She encourages an open itinerary, since a local snack or an unplanned beach can become a memorable part of the ride. The route's slower sections are part of a long-distance ride rather than a string of major attractions. Katherine crosses a difficult bridge and gets a view of the area, then rides through a forest during golden hour. The landscape includes drying meat, flowers and chickens along the road. Her arrival in Maoming follows traffic delays, and she explores the coast after checking into her hotel. At the fishing-village beach, boats, crab-made sand balls and the net hammock offer details that are easy to miss at a large resort. Her final stop at the city's famous beach is quiet, likely because of the season, and the setting sun closes the day's ride.
