TAI LAKE,SUZHOU
1 Day—BIKING ADVENTURE
TAI LAKE
Lake TaiHu is surrounded by a series of small hills and protected zones that don’t attract a lot of attention from the average vacationer, but are a great spot to escape the crowds and explore the less visited parts of China’s colorful rural landscape.
ADVENTURE DESCRIPTION
We’ll start in the small village of Guangfu and circle the peaks along the banks of Lake TaiHu. After lunch we’ll try some dirt roads, and cruise though the local fishing villages before firing up the BBQ and chugging out onto Lake TaiHu on a traditional Chinese boat to relax and enjoy the last rays of the setting sun.
POINTS OF INTERESTS
- A nice mix of some off road riding and comfortable mountain road riding
- Peaceful countryside views and local villages
- A great sunset view with BBQ on the boat in LakeTaiHu
