Merchant Route Tour

A very nice ride along small country lanes. Taking in our “Rubbish” ride along the local rivers and through many a small village. Arrive in She County, the ancient capital of Huizhou and stay in an Inn in the old town.

This day can be off the bike, or you can also visit some local sites on the bike. Wake up to an interesting local breakfast at the famous breakfast store, then head to the Museum to get some background on what Huizhou is all about. Then walk along the riverfront for a nice coffee, view and pictures. Grab lunch at the local restaurant, trying the fermented, smelly fish 🙂 Then head back for a quick nap, and then go off to the old building museum for a few hours to better understand the architecture and culture of what you will be seeing over the next week. If you’re up to it, visit the ink factory as well. Enjoy a drink and a local meal for dinner and walk around the old town. For early risers, take a short walk to the city market.

The day starts out on some larger roads leaving town and then you hit nice small countyside lanes.

A lovely non-direct route through the mountain and river countryside. Another night in a famous local ancient village.

Leaving Anhui and entering Jiangxi. A very nice ride beside a pristine river and then making your way up and down a descent long but not steep climb. Stay the night in Yaoli village beside the river. Try the Jianxi mifen noodles but mind the spice:)

A short day if you want or add a few more km and take in the famous local “bird” climb if your legs are up to it. Then head north of the famous Wuyuan town and stay in an old Huizhou property which has a very nice mix of East mets West atmosphere, cusine and drinks. Have a good night as tomorrow is a rest day!

There are various options such as visiting the famous old town, going for a hike though some gorgeous hills and tea feilds, actvities etc.

A big day on the bike. A stunning climb out of Wuyuan to wake the legs and then a nice ride north through the hills.

Welcome to Zhejiang! A very nice day meanding up and down the small hills to Qiandao lake through some secrete 🙂 stunning old villages and rural paths. If you feel like it we can send you a slightly longer route which takes in a climb, ferry and wonderful river ride. That night you will stay in a small lake side village trying out the local fish and Zhejiang cusine.

The short 60km route takes in 1 mid and 1 long climb. A longer even more amazing route can also be had. Stay in a remote village hidden in the hills, enjoy a great local Zhejiang meal and go for a little hike to checkout the sunset over a cold beer and then star gaze.

Get yourself back to the Homestay or Sanyang for your train. Again, we have a short and a longer route depending on how your legs feel. Regardless, it’s more downhill than up; it’s remote and stunning.
