Northern Delights Little North
A fantastic route and what got us started in the Area. Various options.
- loop around – less than 200km
- loop around and get taxi from longgang (what we normally do). 165km or so
- taxi to jixi and cycle back from there. 165km or so.
Below Komoot for option 2.
Route from Jixi – Or get car to pick you up at longgang if too long back

Weiping Waits
170km | 2 to 3 Climbs with optional steep | Good Road with a bit of gnarly at the end of the down hill of hill 1 and 2. Try the Clean Race Route for a few added steep sections. The the Easy Clean Reverse for a nice 150km or so and not serious steep parts.
There are a few other loops in there. There are also nice routes south to Qiandao Lake.

QianNiuGang (Daming) Epic
Daming Epic (from south). All the way from Wildhomestay, 25km to Daming and then onto Tunkou Hotsping. Then up from there all the way to the top – 32km uphill. Then 25km down to the noodle shop in Daming and 25km home. 165km total. Bit more elevation than the classic.

If you want something longer combine with the botanical garden climb or south sanyang route or add it into a trip from Qiandaohu.
If you want something shorter drive to start of Daming and do epic loop from there and drive back:

We normally go counter clockwise. x311 climb up, downhill through red rocks (noodle stop), climb up lake, fast down back to car. 🙂
Another option is out and back but not including lake climb.
Umbrella wha to x311, down other end, around. Add Lake for 200km 3000m.
