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.
99km 1600m. A stunning climb to the mountain botanical garden in Zhejiang and back. Various options, including a nice gravel reservoir ride. Go very very early to beat the gate man.
100km 1800m. A classic hill climb in East China! 25km from Wildhomestay to the bottom of Daming. Then 25km 1250m up. The climb is great and described as the Chinese Baby Mont Ventoux. .
