Thousands of Chinese students take part in night cycle ride in search of dumplings

Students, mostly on public share bikes, rode several hours through Henan province from their campuses in Zhengzhou to the ancient city of Kaifeng, singing and cheering on the way.

The trend started in June when four Zhengzhou university students decided to ride several hours to Kaifeng and has grown to tens of thousands of people. Authorities have begun taking measures to stop the students following complaints by people in Kaifeng, a city famous for its oversized soup dumpling, about feeling overwhelmed by the incoming cyclists

To be honest, the truth why these students ride bikes at night is because they are enjoying their youth and a spontaneous trip, they can feel the passion of youth when traveling with a lot of friends

“search of dumplings" haha . But still better than those car gangs drifting on the streets here in the U.S....

40 years ago when most people in China didn't own cars this would have been totally normal!

Imagine if there were 500, 000 more bicycles on the street in your city one night.

The local bar is the best place to pick up a couple of dumplings.

The reporting on this is nearly as bad as your reporting on Amsterdam. Ypside down and back to front. This is a peaceful protest.

Back in the 2000s bikes were still commonplace in China, and people thought they would never go away.
Fast forward to today, people tend to drive motor vehicles of some kind, with city dwellers paying more attention to traffic laws and rural dwellers less so.
