    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:

    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.
