上周末，路透社摄影记者Carlos Barria前往中国浙江省，拍摄了一些有1000名哈雷戴维森摩托车爱好者参加的中国第5届哈雷戴维森全国拉力赛，这是该公司110周年纪念的一部分。哈雷戴维森于2005年开始正式在中国销售，它的摩托车被中国税务机关认为是奢侈品，因此被征以极高的税率- 2013年，这种摩托车可能卖到20万元（$ 32,500），约4倍于北京的平均年薪。运输当局亦把哈雷摩托置于电动自行车，马匹和自行车同一类别下，所以他们不能在高速公路和主要途径上骑行。
Harley Davidson National Rally in China
Last weekend, Reuters photographer Carlos Barria traveled to Zheijiang Province, China, to photograph some of the 1,000 Harley Davidson enthusiasts who attended China’s 5th annual Harley Davidson National Rally, part of the company’s 110-year anniversary. Harley Davidson only began official sales in China in 2005, and its bikes are considered to be luxury items by Chinese tax authorities, so they are taxed at extremely high rates — a 2013 motorcycle might sell for 200,000 yuan ($32,500), approximately four times the average annual salary in Beijing. Transportation authorities have also placed Harleys in the same category as electric bikes, horses and bicycles, so they cannot be ridden on highways and major avenues. [18 photos]
