Long QianDaoHu
170km 2000m
Weiping Waits
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.

Corks Highway
76km 1500m. A remote, stunning main climb with some smaller, shorter climbs. Best done counter-clockwise on 32+ tires. Not to be missed!

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:

Horse Shoe
80km 1400m A nice ride to the Yingkeng village and then climb up to the top of the hill and back down again. Best done on 32+ tires.
Leave Sanyang. Short warm up hill followed by a 700m hill going by a few villages. half road is great. other half is concrete. Gets a bit rubbish ontop but ok on road slicks.
