One Drive, Two Provinces: 4K from Jurong, Jiangsu to Langxi, Anhui

The mountains and waters are beautiful enough to hold me back — but I have a road to keep traveling. Last episode, I rested among Jurong's hills and took in the quiet tucked away to the southeast of Nanjing. This time, it's time to say goodbye — and not just to Jurong, but to Jiangsu. Yes, from this stretch onward, I'm officially taking my first cross-province step on my drive across all of China. Out of Jurong, heading southwest, past the provincial border, and I'm into Anhui. The road signs change, the accents change, even the air smells new. My destination: Langxi. Langxi — a small county quietly nestled in the southeast of Anhui. Compared to all those famous places I've passed before, it's so humble it barely draws any attention. But that's exactly what road-tripping is about — going to the unremarkable spots on the map and seeing the most real slice of everyday life. This stretch follows the same rules — first-person POV, full journey recording, 4K quality. No edited-out awkwardness, no exaggerated highlights. Tank full, navigation set, Jurong's hills fading in the rearview mirror — next stop, across the border. The wind is salty, the roads are bumpy, and the people are real. From Jurong to Langxi — my first cross-province leg. We're heading out.
