There were many mountains and forests in the south, and mosquitoes were especially abundant.
The mountain flies, in particular, were so black and large that many people from the north used to tease that five of them in this part of the world would make a meat dish.

These things were also particularly aggressive and would pounce on any animal that they could draw blood from, stinging it and sucking on it.

And the Huixian River Park was a recently developed park with a landscape theme.
Mountains by the rivers and mosquitoes everywhere.

Leaving the mountain bike outside the park, Roland followed the newly paved concrete ring-shaped trail, less than a month old, all the way up the hill.
