After arriving at the post station, we chose our bikes, tested them, and warmed up before heading out. We cycled along the Zengjiang River Greenway, then headed out to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Zengcheng Gualv.

12:00

Arrive at Liantang for lunch and slowly cycle to Liantang Village to experience the Zengjiang farm life. Enjoy our special lunch featuring Zengcheng wood-fired chicken and spare ribs. (Those not dining can choose to pay their own way or bring their own food.)

After a satisfying meal and a rest, we'll explore the nearby strawberry farms and vineyards, allowing us to pick some if we have time (strawberries cost around 30 yuan per jin in February and March, mainly from the farms). Our cycling group will continue, shaded by trees along the coast and enjoying a gentle breeze as we pass through bamboo and lychee groves. During our ride, we'll also experience water transportation across the Zengjiang River—a ferry. After queuing up to push our carts onto the ferry, we'll get up close and personal with the Zengjiang River, crossing from its west bank to its east.

3:00 PM

We will pass by the 1978 Movie Town. If it is still early, we can take our time to explore the movie town.

Continue forward at the right time, return the bicycle and ride back to the station, and let’s summarize the gains of today’s cycling together.

The Zengjiang Gallery One-Day Cycling Tour is mainly based on greenways, with a small number of wooden plank roads and gravel roads.
