Cycling Spots around Fangshan/Mentougou Districts

Beijing

Heading further away from the city, to the west of Beijing by about 2 hours, the districts of Fangshan & Mentougou are much less busy. The area is more vast and there are plenty of hidden roads.

The unique “Karst” topography makes for some interesting landscapes with caves and sinkholes caused by erosion of the surrounding limestone.

2. Choosing when to book:

Beijing in Summer

The summers in Beijing can bring a lot of rain but also a lot of rain. As a result, the vegetation really comes to life. It is generally very ridable but can get quite hot and sometimes quite humid.

Summer Road Conditions

Outside of Beijing, the mountain roads have been bypassed by larger motorways, making the roads relatively quiet for cycling in summer. Road conditions are generally dependent on the chinese holiday periods. Unlike other parts of the world, there are holiday periods in China that would impact road conditions.

Travelling in Summer

Unlike other parts of the world, there are no significant holiday periods that are celebrated in China during the summer months. As a result, travel prices or availability are quite reasonable.

3. Know who to speak with:

Always speak with a local expert BEFORE booking your trip. Valuable local knowledge will ensure you get the most out of your cycling holiday.
