The most scenic of our routes, you will ride through the French Concession, lined by rows and rows of Chinese parasol trees with sunlight gently peeking through its canopy. As we cross Suzhou Creek, we ride to Moganshan Road, a popular photo-taking spot for the art crowd.

Shortly after, as we ride along the Suzhou Creek, we arrive at Sihang Warehouse where its battle scars proudly remain. Finally, we gather at Zhapu Road Bridge for the most iconic group photos amongst cyclists with the Pudong skyline in the background.

Why it's recommended: 

Considered the safest of routes, we ride along the Huangpu River and get really close to the Yuanwang vessel. Take a break and enjoy the scenery. Next, we continue to the nearby training ground for avid cyclists, the Miao Jiang Loops! Try riding a few loops and see how you fare with the local legends! If you still have legs, enjoy a relaxing ride towards the Bund and ride alongside the historical buildings of old Shanghai.

 

Pudong Greenway

Distance: 44km

Points of Interest:

• Pudong Riverside promenade
• Huangpu Riverside

Why it's recommended: 

Riding along the Pudong Promenade, you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of the Huangpu River and how passionate everyone is about exercising. From runners to cyclists, you will be encouraged by their passion. If you like to ride a little faster, please start out earlier. Down and back, the greenway is a total of 44km, after which you can enjoy a French breakfast at La Parisienne.
