Go to the gathering point by Yangcheng Lake, choose your bikes, and have a group briefing on the itinerary and cycling precautions. After warming up, set off together.
We began our 38km leisurely bike ride near Caoxieshan Ruins Park, and today we'll complete a half-circumference of Yangcheng Lake. Starting from Caoxieshan Ruins Park and entering the wetland park, we cycle along the lakeside, enjoying endless views.

We rode out of the Yangcheng Lake Peninsula Wetland Park and continued to the "Beauty's Leg," a narrow passageway between two bodies of water within Yangcheng Lake. This is where the Yangcheng Lake Aquatic Products Market and the Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab Breeding Base are located. We had plenty of time for lunch here and could enjoy authentic hairy crabs.
[The crab season is expected to start in early October. If you want to taste it, please choose the right batch.]
2:00 PM
After lunch and a good rest, we continued our journey, riding across the entire "Beauty's Legs" and passing by a "Big Windmill" power station by the lake. After posing and taking beautiful photos here, we arrived at the end of this ride, Lotus Island.
We can choose to ride a bicycle or take a small train to the Lotus Island, the center island of Yangcheng Lake. We can freely move around the lakeside wetlands on Lotus Island and wait for a beautiful sunset in the wetlands to the west.
