Remarks & Notes

The harsh mountains take on unreal hues under an impossibly azure sky. A pair of decorated QJs with 6638 piloting, drift lazily (and economically) downhill on the sharp curved approach to the famous Simingyi viaduct. This location seems to have been seldom photographed, so that's why I went there!
