Located in Shanghai's Pudong New Area, Haishen village in Huinan town is the hometown of China's first Olympic track cycling champion, Zhong Tianshi.

Here, the clamor of city life gives way to the fragrant aroma of rice fields and a network of pristine waterways. Hop on a bicycle and follow the same paths as the champion, enjoying the exhilarating freedom of the open air.

When it's time to rest, a cozy countryside cafe provides the perfect setting to unwind with a cup of coffee while overlooking the tranquil paddies. Visitors can also try their hand at Jiama woodblock printing, an intangible cultural heritage that adds artistic charm to the rural escape.
