" They rode for soup dumplings — and a sense of youthful liberation in pressured times.

But the band of university students who cycled through the night would ultimately be met by a red light from authorities, after their viral quest grew so popular that it snarled traffic in central China and overwhelmed the ancient capital, Kaifeng.

The nocturnal rides became a trend on Chinese social media in recent weeks after four female university students from Zhengzhou, the capital of China’s northcentral Henan province, traveled to neighboring Kaifeng for a taste of its famous soup dumplings, known locally as “tangbao,” Chinese state media People’s Daily reported.

Riding is always about food.
