Title: cycle routes
Post by: luiz_iniciante on February 04, 2013, 07:54:54 am

Does anyone of any good areas to go cycling in around Hefei, perhaps to some of the outlying villages. Since spring is almost upon us, I would like to take the opportunity to see some of the surrounding countryside. But it would have to be on country roads, because I do not think the main roads would be very safe enough.

This being the land of bicycles, someone here must have a good idea.

SanHe Ancient town Google map (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=sanhe+ancient+anhui&hl=en&ll=31.722327,117.235107&spn=0.613263,1.352692&sll=31.512996,117.348404&sspn=0.307323,0.676346&hq=sanhe+ancient+anhui&t=m&z=10&iwloc=A)

This is worth a visit.
Long trip for bicycle though but not too far for fit cyclists.
I'd consider an over-nighter. There is quite a lot to see.
Leave Hefei in the morning and time your return for the next afternoon.

Sorry this is a little late, but out of curiosity, if a person wanted to do this route, how would he travel there? Google offers highways, or at least what looks like more major roads, I wouldn't really want to do that. If anyone has done this too I would be interested to hear about your experience
