Explore China Without Limits
Beijing
For over 3,000 years, Beijing has been the beating heart of Chinese civilization. It is a city of staggering contrasts: immense imperial palaces—the Forbidden City—sit beside intimate hutong alleyways where the echo of bicycle bells lingers. The Great Wall snakes along the northern mountains like a sleeping dragon, while futuristic skyscrapers pierce the smog-free skies of the CBD. As you pedal through this living museum, you feel the weight of history under your wheels: emperors, revolutionaries, dreamers. Yet the city never rests. From sizzling Peking duck stalls to hidden courtyard teahouses, Beijing thrums with the vibrant pulse of a modern superpower—ancient, bold, and utterly unforgettable.
Yangshuo
Guilin, in China's Guangxi region, is famous for having "the finest scenery under heaven." The city is dominated by spectacular karst topography—thousands of unique limestone peaks rising steeply from the ground like ancient sentinels. The crystal-clear Li River threads through this surreal landscape, its emerald waters mirroring the jagged hills. Key attractions include the iconic Elephant Trunk Hill, a rock formation resembling a giant elephant drinking from the river, and the breathtaking cruise to Yangshuo, where every bend reveals another postcard-perfect view. Guilin provides a mystical, tranquil natural beauty often depicted in classic Chinese ink paintings—a place where mist drapes over peaks and time seems to stand still.
ChengDu
Tucked away within Liangtai Gou near Chengdu, Sunshine Lover's Valley lives up to its romantic name. Bathed in abundant sunlight even as mist lingers elsewhere, this hidden gem offers pristine forests, gurgling streams, and meadows dotted with wildflowers. Towering snow-capped peaks frame the horizon, while lush greenery embraces every winding path. The gentle sound of flowing water accompanies your every step, creating an intimate atmosphere perfect for couples seeking solitude or nature lovers craving tranquility. Whether you're sharing a quiet picnic by the creek or simply holding hands beneath the dappled sunlight, this valley feels like a secret whispered between the mountains—a place where love and nature bloom together in perfect harmony.

Shangri-la
6 day 5 night tour
Where snow-capped peaks pierce the heavens, Shangri-La offers an otherworldly escape into Yunnan’s wild frontier. Wander ancient cobblestone streets in Dukezong, one of Tibet’s best-preserved old towns. Hear rhythmic chants echoing within Songzanlin Monastery, the “Little Potala Palace,” where prayer wheels spin beneath golden rooftops. Lose yourself in pristine alpine valleys—Pudacuo’s crystal lakes and flower-strewn meadows. Here, ancient Tibetan myths breathe and untamed nature truly thrives. Wild yaks graze beneath glacier-carved ridges; prayer flags flutter in crisp mountain air. Whether seeking spiritual peace or high-altitude adventure, Shangri-La calls you home to a land where legend and landscape become one.

Navigation: I know Google Maps is basically useless over there—what’s the best alternative map app for English speakers to route gravel and secondary roads?
Google Maps hardly works in China due to internet access restrictions. There is no official data sharing between Google and Chinese map services. Instead, you should download AMap Global, which has a full English interface. Our company has pre-set many cycling-friendly routes on it, and only AMap Global can provide dedicated bike navigation paths.

"Fantastic way to explore an amazing part of the world. Rob hooked me up with a really well set up di2 road bike that let me explore around the roads of the Guilin-Yangshuo. Well suggested routes and GPS maps, and helpful staff. Excellent area for credit card camping, with very reasonable accommodation and food, and super memorable scenery. All the better from a speedy bike!"

Whilst staying in Yangshuo the 3 of us booked the 66km e-cycle tour with Cycle Quest China through our hotel (you can of course book directly with them) taking in rice and lotus fields, incredible mountain views, experiencing the natural wonders of the Yangshuo area as well as a fantastic local lunch in a tiny village where the fish, chicken and vegetable’s were so delicious as a result of the local mineral water spring and local farming methods. We had the absolute best day with our expert guides. It was very well coordinated with regular rest and hydration breaks. We were very well taken care of and had the most amazing experience, we are already looking at booking again! Cannot rate this company highly enough! Excellent! 🌟 🚲
After 10 months and a little over 10,000 km traveled eastward by bike, we've finally set off on our grand return journey from Tokyo. This family trip allowed us to discover a small part of the world, encountering immense human generosity along the way. The encounters and smiles we received far exceeded our expectations! Perhaps we also discovered a part of ourselves... Thank you for our meeting on the bikes 🙏🙏 Looking forward to seeing you again!

"Riding the T1 route with CycleQuest China was an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. We wanted a genuine adventure without the stress of planning, and this team delivered flawlessly. The itinerary took us through some truly unique, breathtaking locations that we never would have discovered on our own, offering a perfect blend of rewarding rides and stunning cultural immersion. What truly set this trip apart, however, was the on-the-ground team. The guides had such a fantastic attitude—they were incredibly supportive, highly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead with logistics and support. Having direct access to such professional local experts gave us total peace of mind. If you are considering a cycling trip in China, we totally recommend it!"

"Our day trip through the Yangshuo karst landscapes was incredible. It perfectly combined cycling and hiking with breathtaking views of the region. The ground support was exceptional; everything from the curated viewpoints to the hydration and electrolyte supplies was meticulously organized, allowing us to just focus on the adventure.
Connecting directly with our guide, Rob, made the experience even more special, as he shared deep, fascinating insights about the region's culture and local life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a truly seamless outdoor experience!"
Our family recently spent two weeks travelling through China and we were fortunate to discover Rob and Cyclequest while in Yangshuo. We joined a half-day e-cycling tour that took us along the river, through the stunning karst hills, and into local villages we would never have found on our own. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip.
The equipment was modern and well maintained, and Rob was exceptionally friendly, generous with his time, and deeply knowledgeable about the area. His local insight made the experience feel authentic. We only wish we had found Cyclequest earlier in our stay, as we would happily have booked another ride. We’re already looking forward to returning.

"Our whole adventure started by chance. We walked into the bike shop in Guilin just to browse, and two days later, we left as friends, completely amazed. Even though we had no gear, the team sorted everything in a snap. The 80km bike tour from Guilin to Yangshuo was something else entirely! We saw the real China: ancient villages, bridges, river crossings, and tough climbs, complete with a cafe at the top of a pass with a 'million-dollar view.
But the real story happened when our support moped's battery died on a climb. Without missing a beat, our guide and the company's founder, Rob, packed all 20 kilos of our gear into his huge backpack, slung it on, and said, 'Let's keep going.' He kept pace and cracked jokes as if he were carrying a feather. That's when we realized Rob is made of steel and pure passion. That's next-level commitment—an owner who cares more about the experience and the people than just going through the motions. You don't just run tours; you create stories that stick with people forever. To anyone who wants to see China come alive and feel like a friend, not a tourist—look no further."

"Discovering Guilin by bike was simply amazing! Taking on both the 96 KM T1 Xianggong Mountain route and the 89 KM ride to the Great Waterfall gave us an unforgettable way to experience China up close. Riding through these regions offers something you just cannot get from a bus window—breathtaking karst landscapes towering above you, crisp fresh air, and a profound connection to the local environment and authentic village life.
Tackling nearly 185 kilometers over two days might sound daunting to some, but the entire journey was executed flawlessly. The premium equipment provided made the long climbs and sweeping valley descents feel smooth, responsive, and completely secure. A special thanks goes out to our tour organizer, Rob, who planned every single detail perfectly. His deep local knowledge of the area meant we were always riding on the best, safest roads with the most spectacular views. He guided us with incredible dedication, ensuring our logistics were entirely handled, from perfectly timed hydration stops to expert route pacing. If you want a truly immersive, seamless outdoor adventure without any of the typical travel stress, this is it. Highly recommended!"
"We visited Guilin with friends and were lucky enough to cross paths with Rob. After experiencing excellent food and service, the highlight was his suggestion for a bike route down to Yangshuo. We met up the next morning, and honestly, the whole experience felt like a dream. Rob and his team provided professional, patient support the entire way.
Having the support van follow us to ensure we had water, snacks, and meals exactly when we needed a break was incredible. The ride was challenging, but it delivered the most beautiful scenery I have ever witnessed. We arrived in Yangshuo exhausted but completely satisfied. Thank you for an amazing trip!"
