Cycling through southern China allows us to get off the main roads and into the scenic remote regions, where life moves at a slower pace. Starting in Hong Kong, we travel to Guizhou Province, where we experience bicycle ride through stunning landscapes in Yangshuo, near Guilin, before travelling to Longsheng and experiencing the stunning Dragon’s Backbone Rice Terraces. As you ride from village to village, you get to experience China at a grassroots level and come away with a better understanding of this fascinating country and its people. There are some days where there is no cycling involved. On the cycling days, we tend to ride for up to 60 kilometres with one day up to 97km.
Please note that this itinerary may vary slightly, depending on the cycling capabilities of your group.
