This cycling to Huajiang River covers up 55 km in one day. This tour will be in the company of experienced leader. Part of the trails is on paved road; and there will be a little challenge for a 1.5-km climb which helps cyclists to understand the glamour of cycling. We mainly cycle the country lands along the Huajiang River, through the verdant rice paddies, and into several rural villages.
Huajiang River, just 16 kilometers from Guilin city, winds the way for 40 kilometers and finally flow out into Li River. There are beautiful limestone peaks, rice fields, and quiets villages. Thus, this river is praseds as the "back garden of Guilin".
The country roads leads us to the famous ancient town Daxu, we will enjoy our time for full relax visiting the old street of the town and it is recommended to try the local snacks and fruits there, strawberry, asmanthus bean jelly, etc.
After Daxu, we will have 3 options based on your wishes and healthy condition as belows:
1. Cycle through the main road back to Guilin (18KM on the busy road with cars but flat).
2. We cycle back to Guilin through hidden viallages and gorgours trails where riders will encouter the experience they are hard to feel in the city, acrossing the dam if the water lever is not dangerous to people, feel how does it like when cycling on off road for just a small section, bike through local villages, orchards, seeing the rice paddy, local market of Guilin, etc. It's highly recommended and a great value of your money!
3. We can take a shuttle bus back from Daxu if you feel hard to finish the rest part of the tour by paying cash. (ticket price not included in the quotation, about RMB10-15 p.p usually with the bikes)
