Another time no comments

But I wil continue.
Here are the updates 7, 8 and 9 to keep my MD up to date.
Update 7Today I will show you some parts of the countryside at the district of the little and not finished city Lóng dàqiáo.
The ferry port isn't finished yet so there will not be a pic of it in this update.
The first road you have to use after you arrived with one of the ferrys is the coast road B20:
You can see some holiday homes from the people of Lónghú along the road....

After a while the road leaves the coastline to cut of f one of the spines of the dragon island. Now it comes into a flat region, rice fields are soon on both sides of the road and the little traffic allows a very fast travelling.

It is not recommended to drive the allowed 140 km/h (87 mph) everywhere, the road often has narrow curves.
The first village, new holyday homes have been buildt in the center of some old houses.

We leave B20 and follow B21:....

Nothing elles than rice paddies......

Than the local capitol: Shì dàotián:

There is a train arriveing from the north....
2 of the three X-TER 73500 on which the local train service is based on.

The third one is comming from the south....

"Family meeting" at the rail station

Maybe some tourists came into the town.... This is the local temple they may visit:

The new highway A2 han be reached in two minutes, but it is not really completed, just about 7 kilometers(4.3 miles) long and three exits.

That's the L20:

But picutres of the other towns in this district will come with one of the next updates. Here is a night shot of Shì dàotián as a goodbye pic:
Update 8Hello and welcome to the eight part of this journal.
Today I will show you some pictures shot around the "Dragon's neck", a cannel through the dragon island. Next to Shì dàotián has been buildt the small city Lóng dàqiáo....
But first some pictures that haven't made it into the last entry.....
A JR500 on a test drive.....

Two of the X-TER 73500 at night.....

and a small village located on L20.

The beautyful golden yellow of the rice fields animated me to make some pictures.....
A new section of the highway A2 two days before the opening.....

The highway bridge over the dragon's neck.....

This small industrial area is very important for the people of the region, a lot of them work here. It's located on he rail line between the two small cities of the region.
The road next to it is the B21, the next highway onramp is the one of Shì dàotián.

On this picture you can see the small ferry habour and the shinkansen- line.....
(Road intersection between L20 and B21)

An X-TER 73500 at night on it's way from Shì dàotián to Lóng dàqiáo....

Lóng dàqiáo in the hot summersun....

And a picture e where you can see most of the things around the dragon's neck.....

Update 9Today I will show you some pictures from some small villages next to my 2nd planned bigger city.
If you headd north from Lóng dàqiáo you will soon reach the village Long zhi chun. Most of the landscape around this village is mountainious or water so there is only a little space to build on.

The crew of this freight liner wasn't happy about the thing that has happened to them. Luckily nothing of their freight ran out into the water.

Long zhi chun at night.

That's one end of the "A2"

Another train line, nothing special about that...

That's the industrial area of Dà Nàng.

A last time for the next entrys: rice paddies without houses.

Dà Nàng and other cities are growing, you will see them in the next updates.....

I hope You've enjoied this multi update.
Greetings from Dà Nàng, Skimbo
