Why Choose a Private Cycling Tour Around Lake Taihu?

Lake Taihu is one of China’s largest freshwater lakes — a mosaic of islands, slow lanes, lakeside villages and agricultural landscapes perfect for relaxed cycling. Our private cycling tours are built for foreign travelers and expats who want authentic local experiences with English-speaking support, secure luggage logistics and tailored pacing. We design routes that balance scenic vistas, cultural stops, and comfortable accommodations.

  • Flexible daily distances — choose 30–80 km per day depending on fitness.
  • Premium bike rental or bring your own — road, gravel, or e-bikes available.
  • Private English-speaking guides who know local traffic and shortcuts.
  • Local experiences: tea farms, fishing villages, and Taihu food tastings.
