Guangming District has welcomed a new era in leisure cycling with the official launch of an 18.8-kilometer cycling path — the first fully constructed cycling path for leisure in Shenzhen — according to the district's urban management and law enforcement bureau.
Cycling enthusiasts in the city now have a new outdoor haven to explore, which combines the joy of biking with the stunning scenery of the region. Cyclists can embark on a vibrant journey of exploration on the brand-new leisure cycling path and discover a perfect blend of science, nature, and urban beauty as they pedal through mesmerizing landscapes.
Now open to the public, the demonstration section of the leisure cycling path marks a significant milestone. Serving as the city's premier cycling route, it offers a refreshing way to release stress, unwind, and experience the beauty of Guangming while enjoying a delightful ride.
The route begins at the Guangming Science City Exhibition Center and concludes at the Sun Yat-sen University Shenzhen Campus. Encompassing vital urban hubs, functional areas, and natural landmarks like the Fun Farm, the Guangming Lake Greenway, and the Shenzhen University of Advanced Technology, this 18.8-kilometer route takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete.
Cyclists can relish the region's mountainous charm, serene waters, and countryside allure while basking in the scientific innovation emanating from Guangming Science City.
Cyclists can begin their journey at the Guangming Science City Exhibition Center, where the tranquil Xinpitou River flows gently on the north side. They can then traverse the picturesque green landscapes of Guangming and breathe in sync with nature along the Guangming Lake Greenway. A pause at the Guangming Lake station offers cyclists an opportunity to appreciate the panoramic views of the Guangming Lake area.
Looking ahead, Guangming District is committed to enhancing the cycling landscape with projects like the leisure cycling path university loop and Hongqiao Park loop, aiming to connect vital urban nodes and natural landscapes seamlessly. The district is building a "1+6" leisure cycling path system, which includes one main route and six loops with different themes.
