To celebrate a wedding anniversary, couples often turn to a romantic dinner, thoughtful gifts, or an exotic foreign trip. For a couple in Baoji, a city in China’s northwest Shaanxi province, their 40th anniversary celebration was quite unique: they traveled 5,000 kilometers in 38 days on a motorcycle.

Mr. Ma is a motorcycle lover who has been riding for over 20 years. He is also a member of his local motorcycle club. As his anniversary was drawing nearer, Ma started to plan a romantic riding trip for his wife.

The trip started from Baoji and traveled through Xi’an, Zhengzhou, Luoyang and Qingdao—cities in which they had lived after getting married. Ma’s meticulous plan made their trip very relaxing and romantic. His wife, Chen, was surprised and moved by the special anniversary gift.
