Chongming Island 崇明
Shanghai's rural island escape — flat, reclaimed and built for two wheels, and tidal wetland boardwalks at Xisha, metasequoia forests at Dongping, country-lane rides through villages and citrus orchards, and a lake-loop finale at Mingzhu, reached by tunnel, bridge or ferry.
Pudong Riverside 浦东滨江
Central Shanghai's green riverfront — Expo Culture Park's artificial Twin Hills, the Eleven-Arch Bridge, the Music Forest amphitheatre, and the Houtan riverside.
Qingpu Lakes & Water Towns 青浦
Shanghai's western lake country — Dianshan Lake, the city's largest freshwater lake, ringed by four routes from a family ride to a full 45 km loop, with the water towns of Zhujiajiao and Jinze, the 1987 Dream of the Red Chamber gardens, and Shanghai's oldest ginkgo.
Songjiang Hills 松江
Shanghai's only natural forest hills — Sheshan's East and West peaks, linked by a gentle traverse of bamboo boardwalks, heritage buildings, and hilltop views.
Suzhou Creek 苏州河
The flat, photogenic riverfront corridor through Shanghai's industrial and architectural history — from sculpture parks and warehouse galleries to the bridges and skyline at the creek's mouth.
Xuhui Riverside 徐汇滨江
Shanghai's industrial rust belt turned living showcase — 8.4 km of flat, free, pet-friendly riverside promenade linking cement works, fuel tanks and coal wharves to some of the city's best museums.
Yangpu 杨浦
Shanghai's green north-east — Gongqing Forest Park's storybook woodland loops, riverfront greenways along the Huangpu, and the city's only forest-themed national park.
Lingyin / North Peak 灵隐 / 北高峰
Temple grounds, forest climbs, and panoramic views from one of the highest points near West Lake.
Longjing / Tea Villages 龙井 / 茶村
The historic home of Longjing tea — terraced hillsides, shaded stream valleys, and village paths.
Longwu Tea Village 龙坞
Tea terraces, forest ridges, and a hidden reservoir loop. Longwu is one of Hangzhou's most scenic tea areas, well-connected by metro and bus.
West Lake 西湖
The iconic heart of Hangzhou hiking — lakeside trails, hill climbs, and pagoda viewpoints.
