Schedule:

Day1 Hong Kong
It's worth arriving early to explore this lively city. Hike up to Victoria Peak for fantastic city and ocean views, wander through Stanley Market or jump on the famous Star Ferry to visit one of the nearby islands.


Day2 Hong Kong/Zhaoqing
After transferring by catamaran to the mainland, arrive in Zhaoqing, one of the most beautiful city in Guangdong Province. We have the opportunity to walk around the Seven Star Crags. Fix the 27-gears mountain bike and have a short ride along the Star Lake in the afternoon.


Day3 Zhaoqing/Longshan
Coach 40KM out of the city. Cycle on paved roads from Zhaoqing to Longshan across the beautiful and peaceful Guangdong region. A picnic lunch and school visit in one of the remote, countryside villages make this a memorable first day's ride.


Day4-5 Wuzhou/Yangshuo
Limestone caves, picturesque villages and lush rural vistas lie between the traditional village of Wuzhou and the pleasant town of Yangshuo. After visiting Dragon Cave, cycle through the Guangxi countryside stopping in ancient towns and busy markets along the way.


Day 6-7 Yangshuo
The dramatic landscape that surrounds Yangshuo is legendary. The Li River passes through town, winding its way past towering limestone pinnacles and emerald rice fields. Soak up the mystical atmosphere and cycle along the flat dirt roads of rural China. Fly to the ancient city Xi’an in the afternoon on day 7.


Day 8-10 Xi’an

One of the world's greatest cities, Beijing will get under your skin. Take a guided tour of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square and explore the city's ancient hutongs by bicycle.
