Your cycling adventure begins in the morning when we meet at the 0km starting point, near the Global Center.

Before we start riding, we’ll help you adjust your bicycle, fit your helmet, and give a brief safety introduction.

Our ride starts at Jincheng Lake and goes clockwise.

Around midday, we’ll stop at a local restaurant for a simple lunch. After a relaxing break, we’ll continue the second half of the loop.

In the afternoon, we ride toward Qinglong Lake, one of Chengdu’s largest ecological parks. The peaceful surroundings, expansive wetlands, and lakeside cycling paths offer some of the most scenic sections of the entire route.

Continuing east, we reach Dong’an Lake, a modern waterfront park built for the FISU World University Games.

As the afternoon light softens, we begin the final section of the 100km Greenway Loop, cycling through Sanshengxiang before returning toward our starting point.

We will complete the loop in about 7-9 hours, depending on the pace.
