Where to start, if you think about cycling in China? Some things must be considered. Everyone needs a visa and if you have a valid visa month, you can extend only twice, so your total time is 3 months. A 6 - or even 12 months a visa is available to Hong Kong too. You should also consider the time. Winter sports in the north is not recommended for cycling. But in June in the south you can get very wet. This article covers a number of areas recommended for typical cyclingReasons.
So if you want to start cycling, where you want to start? The best thing to happen in a country like China that we have many possibilities. But there are some areas where cycling is more interesting then in other areas. Cycling Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai is not recommended to maintain, if not suicidal, as some. Personally, I like cycling in big cities. How about cycling in Tibet? Maybe, but you need more time each way, while you are away, at the culmination of more than 3500Meters. And with children, hmm .. I certainly did not start in Tibet.
You could start from where? There are some areas in China, where cycling is doing great. Even if they do not take long-distance cycling, a bicycle is definitely a great way to explore some areas. I would suggest three areas in this article.
1. Yunnan
Yunnan is the first time for many travelers, the first cycling experiences. It makes sense, because it has a mild climate, a lotChallenges, the possibility of using part of Tibetan culture and you see a bike ride from the heights, but not impossible for a high. The starting point is, of course, the capital of Yunnan: Kunming, all Chinese cities, still my favorite.
Yunnan is famous for the north-west: Dali-Lijiang-Zhongdian (Shangri-La), and this cycle many cyclists do. Many take the night bus from Kunming to Lijiang and begin their journey to Zhongdian and Dali. It makes sense, as it is easy to Lijiangreach the bottom and the road from Lijiang to Dali goes down. But you have to climb!
Lijiang valley is doing very well on the bike and in the city of Lijiang, you will find a wide range of bicycles found. Recommended for the whole family!
Also make the trip from Lijiang to Dali too good, although there are alternatives. But if it is about 3 weeks, you can do more time. Do not forget that Yunnan is the size of France or Texas.
Alternative areas can Baoshannear the Burmese border, but even if you take the bus or fly him in time, as cities and municipalities to take very far.
Travelers to Laos could enjoy the ride Xishuangbana. The main street is mostly used today for local traffic and usually not occupied. Unfortunately, the road is not very updated after the completion of the road. It takes about 7 to 14 days with the bike from Kunming to Jinghong. I did it three times and each time I enjoyed it.
North WestYunnan is almost untouched by tourism. E 'understandable, since it is not very spectacular to see. However, I have to travel from Chengdu to Kunming in September, with rain, a good deal. It was too cold to travel to the west of Chengdu to Kangding and Litang so I think it is very select little-used road. On the road there are some extraordinary beautiful landscapes, cities and forests to be found. He could think of a coffee, Dracula have to build in Zigong, or the bamboo forest nearJunlian the border between Yunnan and Sichuan.
Zhaotong is quite interesting as Sonming. But who has ever traveled to these places is? Not many I assure you, and it is a shame.
2. Yangshuo
Yangshuo, a small town south of Guilin is a favorite time for travelers and travelers for all budgets. The best way to explore the area (unless you only want to see Moon Hill and some caves along the main street) is .... Cycling. Yangshuo is probablyThen Shangri-La Shangri-La (Zhongdian) is. The limestone mountains are so spectacular that even if you do not care for landscapes that are still in awe. By bike you can click on small paths through rice fields to overcome even the most spectacular sites.
Another option is to get your bike back on a raft and the cycle of loading the raft to the drops. Yangshuo is not only the best option for families in the countryside in China, is also one of the easiest to reach and exploreAreas.
3. Sichuan
Sichuan is probably best for experienced cyclists who have the time. There are several options. Leshan is an obvious choice, but you could easily do with buses and taxis. Many cyclists choose to bike from Chengdu to Tibet, a journey which was made possible in recent years, if you have a permit. Currently not possible.
However, you can have a great 14 days in western Sichuan, where the Tibetan culture because you want to see. Simply followDirections to Kangding, but instead of crossing to the west of the mountains of western Sichuan, north of Danbo and Barkam. This route is rarely visited, but worth it. It is not too difficult, but you can also shares in a night or 2
Another little-visited area is located north-east of Chengdu. This is the way to Xian. The first 100 km from Chengdu is not very funny, but then the road got quiet. The most spectacular view here Guangyuan. And 'one of those "small" cities that have littleoffer. But just outside the city center, on the road to the north, there are Buddhist caves are virtually unknown to most travelers. These caves are Luyang similar. Perhaps this caves are a bit 'smaller, but are definitely worth a visit
Further north is the ability to maintain the direction Chenggu and cross from there to the mountains to Foping and Xian. This route is also very little visited. It follows on the north side of a river that runs almost all the way to Xian, so it goes all the waydown. If you love nature, this is your area.
Conclusion
The most important message for people who have a bike in China I think is more than what you want to see and how long you have. If this is your first visit, we recommend that you visit all the must visit "sites like the Great Wall, the Lake Kunming, Shanghai, Yangshuo Yangtze Gorges Damn-3, etc. These places are worth a visit, no doubt. But China is so big, there is not much else to see. The best advice I can give isShe: choose an area out there and cycle. There will probably be busy for several weeks. Yunnan is 2 months without a problem, this Sichuan. Yangshuo and the surrounding area can easily take a week to 14 days. And these areas are just the tip of the iceberg called.
