Road condition for cycling in China

Before you go, please prepare well as cycling in China is completely different to any cycles in Europe. The road surface here is diverse and sometimes the road is broken inordinately and hard for bikers, those ‘tracks’ and ‘paths’ in our itinerary will waste us extra energy quickly even when it’s on flat and low elevation. And a quick change of road surface in China areas is quite common if we choose to avoid the traffic on the main road, the perfect concrete road could turn into a broken one and then shifting back quickly, and the roads are being rebuilt every year, so there are some unexpected difficulties during your trip, get ready for everything as the itinerary and description of roads online is just for reference. 

 

Road cyclists who have got used to the perfectly-paved and flat road in Europe or more developed cities in China will take it for granted that an average speed around 20-25KM/hour is quite easy, but it happens rarely in those off-the-beaten parts in countryside areas. The cycles on flat and climbs on broken surface cost us about 2-3 times energy, so if you are confident in finishing 100KM on well-paved roads in 4 hours in Europe, please get ready double the time and consuming of strength in China. 

The average cycling time and distance in Guilin, Zhangjiajie,and other areas on mountain bike including resting and time for taking photos for reference: 45KM=4-5 hours, 75KM=6-9hours, 100KM=9-14hours. 

Hope you have a nice cycling trip in China!
