Try somewhere else.
I found I was being over quoted for a lot of stuff in the 121 St. computer place next to the uni. Down the hill on the other side, at the big interchange was cheaper.
Also get a local to go into the shop, without you, if you can.
CYA? Well TIC afterall. There may even have been a fatality. The usual case of 'reaction to fix sth'.
If memory serves the road used to have signs banning pedestrians too, but that was perhaps unenforceable. But they have perhaps the least road sense of all.
As usual it will probably be enforced for a few weeks, and then .... fade away.
In fairness to the busses, I think this is all that these busses do, up and down the mountain. The drivers know the road well, and that helps. The alternative would be to open the road to all traffic. Not smart.
If this is the road up/down to/from the cable car station half way up XiShan, there are alternative routes up through the woods from Sujiacun. One of them is wide enough for small trucks.
I can understand the concern. I have seen some of the local nutters thinking that brakes are not needed going down with the usual feck anyone else who gets in the way attititude.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.

发布者Blobbles, if there are not trees, you may be able to make out farmers routes on Google Earth. You can sometimes.
If you have personal GPS you could also check progress by pre-defining lat-long from Google Earth before you leave home and write them on a print out.
Just an idea.
