El Museo de Mánchester ha estado trabajando con artistas y comunidades para crear un bicitaxi (rickshaw) y exhibirlo en la Galería de Asia del Sur. Los bicitaxis son un modo de transporte importante en muchos países de Asia, y usualmente tienen decoraciones coloridas como esta. Los bicitaxis, como las bicicletas, no necesitan petróleo para andar, ya que se los impulsa con pedales y son una opción verde de transporte. La inspiración para la decoración de este vino de muchas películas de todo Asia del Sur, como White Sun de Nepal, Paradesi de Sri Lanka y Lunana de Bután.

There is an image from the National Museum of China with a caption describing rickshaws:
“Rickshaws were initially introduced to China from Japan. They were widely used in towns and cities. At first the wheels were made of iron, but at the end of the 19th century they were replaced by rubber wheels. Since 1913, all the bodies of rickshaws in Shanghai had been painted with yellow tung oil or yellow lacquer. Since then, rickshaws have flourished in the city for their ease of hire and low fares.”

人力车最初由日本传入中国，故亦称“东洋车”。曾广泛流行于大小城镇。开始车子双轮为铁制，19世纪末改为橡皮车轮。从1913年起上海人力车车身全部漆上了黄色桐油或黄漆，因此又称为“黄包车”。此后城市中人力车以雇用方便、车资低廉而久盛不衰。照片中所摄为民国年间北平一人力车聚集处，其中一些车上已经有乘客入座了。

How do you usually travel around?
I like travelling around by the good old-fashioned way – walking. It is my favourite thing to do.
Walking is not only one of the easiest ways of exercise, but it is also a great benefit for mental
health and wellbeing. More specifically, I have noticed that walking helps me relax and reduce
stress during the day. Walking outdoors, also, exposes people to natural sunlight and removes
the risk of seasonal depression, which usually occurs in fall and winter and personally, I find
it extremely important. Lastly, it costs nothing and helps me explore the beautiful city of
Manchester and its architecture.
