    Cycling Routes

    See our routes broken down for novice riders and by distance; short, intermediate & long. The routes are available in Chinese and English versions of Strava which you use as a mapping / gps device on your phone. We also offer GPX route files which can be downloaded to your device or other phone apps.

    Novice Road Routes

    Shorter rides on flatter surfaces. Check out our collection of rides for novice riders, also on Komoot or RideWithGPS.


    Short Road Routes

    Shorter routes near the homestay. Not necessarily easy due to surface or gradient.


    Medium Road Routes

    Medium distance routes, generally less than 100km.

    Featured Ride:
    Slate 8 Perfect!

    A ride that sums up cycling around #wildhomestay

    Featured Ride:
    Rainbow Sky 100

    A good ride for any weather! 99% nice roads. Best done in the afternoon to catch sunset rays!


    Long Road Routes

    Long routes heading in all directions.


    Adventure Road

    Stunning road rides may be with very short gravel sections or off road. Best done with MTB shoes and 32 wide tires preferably on a dry day.


    “Gravel” Rides

    Other offroad stuff doable on gravel bike, MTB, eMTB etc.


    BikeHike

    Our unique flavour of riding! Gravel or Mountain bikes suggested. Adventure rides can be ridden 100% of the time (depending on skill) and bikehikes normally always require some hiking. The amount of hiking that is required generally depends on your cycling skill level. These routes normally have dangerous drops, steep slopes and can take all day.

    Water Pigs Dirt Ride (WPD)
    80km mostly road but a bit of everything!
    Best done on a dry day in spring 🙂


    Inter City

    Inter City & Train Routes: coming in from Qiandao Lake, Tunxi or She County. Check out these Hangzhou routes to the homestay.

    Check out the Huizhou Merchant Trail which links Wuyuan and some other great places in the area.
