Accidentally Exploring Chengdu's Tianfu Cycling Greenway

I originally planned to visit the Egret Bay Wetland Park. After taking a taxi to the destination, I found the park to be quite large, so I rented a shared bike. As I rode along, I discovered that this bike path was free of motor vehicles and pedestrians, catering exclusively to cyclists. If you need to take a break, you must leave the greenway and rest at nearby pavilions or benches. The scenery on both sides of the greenway was stunning, and I noticed the words "Tianfu Greenway" written on the ground. Curious, I looked it up online and learned that the Tianfu Ring Cycling Greenway spans 100 kilometers.

Since I hadn't prepared in advance, I only cycled from Egret Bay Wetland Park to Jincheng Lake, passing through Egret Bay Wetland, Zhonghe Wetland, and Gui Xi Ecological Park. A significant portion of the route was on elevated bridges, offering views of wetlands, flower fields, lakes, and the city skyline—an absolutely exhilarating experience!

A friendly tip: it's best to rent a road bike from a bike shop instead of using shared bikes, as the latter can be quite exhausting!
