The story

Qiandao Lake Cycling Festival in Chun'an/Qiandao Lake

An autumn cycling festival on purpose-built roads around Qiandao Lake in Chun'an, combining the flat, 73-kilometer lakeside Chunyang Line with the hillier Chunkai Line for a roughly 136-kilometer circuit. Part of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series and built on the same track used for Hangzhou Asian Games cycling, it draws more than 7,000 riders past forested islands rising from a reservoir that submerged an entire valley last century.

Qiandao Lake's cycling festival borrows its course from purpose-built roads that already carry national titles: the Chunyang Line, a flat 73-kilometer lakeside route built as China's first rural green road, and the hillier Chunkai Line, voted one of Zhejiang's ten most beautiful roads.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The course's pedigree is the real distinction here: both roads carry official titles, the Chunyang Line as China's first rural green road and the Chunkai Line among Zhejiang's ten most beautiful roads, and both formed part of the professional track built for Hangzhou's Asian Games cycling events

02

The mystery stays covered

That means festival entrants, most riding for the UCI Gran Fondo World Series ranking, share tarmac with a route elite continental racers have also used

03

The city starts moving

Qiandao Lake's setting adds a further distinction: the lake was formed by a 1950s dam that flooded an ancient valley, leaving more than a thousand forested islets scattered across the water, visible for most of the ride rather than only at scenic overlooks
