China is a land of towering mountains and epic landscapes - background scenery to the fall of dynasties, the rise of emperors and the turning of the revolutionary wheel.

China has been referred to as the "bicycle kingdom", and on this spectacular 5-day, 490km bike challenge we will ride alongside the Yellow River, exploring rural parts of China and beautiful scenery, witnessing China’s fascinating culture and learning about their intriguing history, to our finish line in Xi’an and the Terracotta Warriors.

Our China adventure finishes with a day in Beijing to explore this fascinating city and an opportunity to visit the breathtaking Great Wall.
