Hi there! Can you tell me where in Xiamen this is. I'm going there for an internship next summer and would like to check it out! Thnx!

[sdweathers]

@pixeljunkie6691 Sure! It's on WenZheng road near WenPing Mountain Villas. Any taxi driver or friend with a car will know where it is. Enjoy!

Nice vid, there's another slope in Dalian, and I've experienced it :D. thx for uploading.

[sdweathers]

@sunzhenyufrank Thanks! Dalian is on the list of cities for 2010. I haven't been there yet. I'll have to check it out.

That is a crazy experience, when I went there I could not believe it. Our car rolled down, stopped, then rolled backwards UP the hill. I also rolled a plastic water bottle down the hill. It stopped and backed up the hill. Would not have believed it unless I saw it myself. Very cool little spot!

[sdweathers]

Excellent! Next time I go back there, I'll take a bottle or a basketball to film rolling down while car goes uphill. It is a crazy place! Thx for comments.

There should be a guy with old bikes there. You can actually ride a bike down the hill, stop....Then go up the hill in reverse on a broken bike. I think it was 2 RMB for the two minute "ride." Likely only 1 RMB if you are a local ;-)

Thats the first time I've seen it! driven by there lots, but never stopped. Thanks

[sdweathers]

Thanks! Glad to hear you're going to study an Asian language. You'll love it, and many of the Japanese characters (the complicated ones) came from China. Keep me updated on your progress!
