Where are we rolling?
😍 Dianchi Lake (Dian Lake)—nicknamed the "Sparkling Pearl Embedded in a Highland"—is a massive freshwater fault lake located at the southern edge of Kunming city centre. Sitting at an altitude of 1,886 metres, it is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province and the eighth largest in China. Best Time to Visit: Winter (Nov–Mar) is highly recommended to experience the migratory gull phenomenon. Sunset is spectacular year-round from either the Haigeng Dam or the top of Western Hills.

😍 Luoping County in Yunnan Province, China, transforms into a vast golden sea of over one million mu (66,667 hectares) of blooming rapeseed flowers every spring. Peak Blooming: Late February to early March.

😍 Fuxian Lake (Fuxian Hu) 抚仙湖 —often called "The Sapphire on the Plateau"—is a breathtaking body of water. It is celebrated as China's deepest highland freshwater lake (reaching a maximum depth of 155 meters) and is famous for its crystal-clear Grade I national-class water quality.
Cycling around Fuxian Lake is one of Yunnan's most classic, picturesque, and beginner-friendly long-distance bike routes. The full loop offers a smooth mix of deep-blue lake views, traditional fishing villages, and quiet lakeside parks.

😍 Yilong Lake (Yilong Hu) 异龙湖 is one of Yunnan’s nine major plateau lakes. Compared to the massive loops of Erhai or Dianchi, cycling around Yilong Lake is a relaxed, scenic ride highly popular for its flat, custom-built ecological greenways, fields of summer lotus flowers, and ancient cultural villages.

😍 Cycling to the world-famous Jiulong Waterfalls (九龙瀑布 - Nine Dragons Waterfalls) in Luoping is one of the most visually rewarding road routes in Yunnan. The route utilises local asphalted roads that curve through quiet villages. Expect rolling countryside hills with a few short, steady climbs as you track toward the river canyon.

😍 Cycling Keyi Small Town via Dianxi River Wetland Park and the Mountain Ring Road: The route treats you to a brilliant contrast of terrain—moving from a lush, entirely flat riverside wetland into a steady mountain climb that leads to a hidden ethnic village.
