It had been a while since my
previous random bus ride, so I decided to take another one during a more recent stay in Zhuhai, Guangdong province.

Once again, I did not know where the bus was headed. This time I decided to stay on the bus until its final stop, which happened to be about an hour away:

Although bus stations can have their own wonders, a few villages the bus had earlier passed seemed to hold more promise. So I headed back down the road by foot:

As I began, a pedestrian overpass helped me better appreciate a nearby highway:

Soon, the road I was walking on veered off in a different direction from the highway. In several upcoming posts I will share some of what I saw at two villages I explored later that day. Yet again, taking a random trip proved to be rather rewarding.
