A total of 520 kilometers of cycling routes traversing mountains and waterfront areas will be connected in Guangzhou city, according to a recent meeting organized by Guangzhou Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau.

The cycling routes link the Conghua district’s Liuxi River National Forest Park in northern Guangzhou with the sea areas in southern Guangzhou’s Nansha district along the Pearl River.

The cycling network is built upon the already existing infrastructure of green ways, ecological belts, country roads, and slow lanes, with new efforts focusing on building connecting sections of cycling routes and improving riding environment.

Besides, various themes will be incorporated into the cycling routes, highlighting the unique characteristics of traditional villages, industrial heritage, industrial towns, ecological resources, urban landscapes, and coastal views along the way.
