30km 500m. Careful on the off road bends. Easy road up to Gaoshan and then challenge to get around and down the off road.
Will update – suggest you do only Gaoshan area – i.e. use road to get there and then do trail behind. route possible once we cut back route.
32km, 480m. A short, steep climb to the old hill village of Gaoshan. Very nice, not too tough.
Cycle down from Yingchuang, through Sanyang and then up to Gaoshan Village. Check out the old village area at the top. Then ride back again. Stop at Sanyang for lunch, the old street and some rural shopping.
If you want a bit longer than go from Gaoshan up to Jinchuan. The road surface is great and you pass through a few small villages. Fill up with water and explore around. Go for a hike in some of big hills in the area.
