At 7:30, everyone gathered at the designated address of China-TravelNote and signed in.

We set off on time at 7:45. The team leader introduced the itinerary and the team members introduced themselves. There was laughter and joy all the way.

Arrive at the gathering point by Taihu Lake around 9:30, choose your bike, and have a group briefing on the itinerary and cycling precautions. After warming up, set off together.

Enjoy the lake breeze blowing from East Taihu Lake on the Taihu Blue Cycling Path, and then start our cycling around the lake. Cycling along a section of the professional cycling road around the lake, the view is very open. When we reach the beautiful scenery, we stop, spread a blanket, look at the lake and mountains, share the food, and have a picnic by the lake.

On the way, you will also pass by the "Taihu Eighteen Noodle House" and have lunch there.

After lunch, we continued cycling and took some beautiful photos on a Sanyo bike that crossed the "sea tongue" of Taihu Lake.

Arrived at the end of the ride around 16:00, stretched, and prepared to get on the bus back to Shanghai

Arrived in Shanghai around 19:30 and kissed goodbye with tears
