Some of my memorable rides I did for the year. Xinjiang was my main focus, and I hardly scratched its surface! 今年我完成了几段难忘骑行。新疆是我的主要目标,可我连它的皮毛都还没摸透!

Amazingly dramatic ride over one of the highest border crossings between two countries @5660m Kyrgyzstan into Tajikistan over the #pamir highway. A mega mountain crossing, river crossing, finishing in a truly epic, gentle downhill to the most dramatic mountain lake scene I’ve ever experienced. 令人惊叹的壮丽旅程,穿越两国间海拔5660米最高的边境之一,沿帕米尔公路从吉尔吉斯斯坦进入塔吉克斯坦。这场史诗级的山地穿越包含翻越高山、渡过河流,最终以一段真正壮阔的缓坡下行收尾——眼前呈现的,是我此生所见最震撼的山间湖泊胜景。

One of Xinjiang’s Queen Stages! A down up down up hill from the hiking country through horse country along rolling landscape. Mountains to grasslands to powerful rivers, through agricture to a local village and some great food for the night. More on riding in Xinjiang, check out my post on tanqi.cc . 新疆骑行亮点之一!穿越徒步之乡,途经马群栖息地,沿着起伏的地形翻越起伏的山丘。从群山到草原,再到奔腾的河流,穿过农耕地带抵达当地村落,夜晚还能享用美味佳肴。更多新疆骑行见闻,欢迎查阅我在tanqi.cc的游记。

Hemu to Altay along the G681 Ahu Highway. Amazing road and needs to be on your bucket list of China rides. Could split into a few days and explore the side roads. Enough said, go and ride it outside of the tourist season! Be prepared, the weather can change quickly! 从禾木到阿勒泰,沿着G681阿禾公路前行。这条公路令人惊叹,绝对值得列入你的中国骑行清单。可分几天完成,顺道探索支线道路。无需多言,趁着非旅游旺季出发吧!做好准备,天气可能瞬息万变!

WBR Guangxi into the clouds 广西云端

135km 2540m

A stunning border and great scenery, mixed with interesting local minority villages. Someone needs to do the Hagang Miao Loop, taking in both sides of China and Vietnam. 壮丽的边境风光与绝美景色,交织着充满魅力的当地少数民族村落。去走走Hagang苗族环线,领略中越两国的双边风情。
A Japanese Volcano 日本火山

112km 1860m

Not very challenging, but a great day out on the bike finishing in one of the best meals I’ve had. Japan has some great cycling infrastructure. 骑行路线不算太难,但真是个完美的骑行日,最后还享用了我吃过最棒的日料之一。日本的自行车基础设施相当完善。
The Slate @ Wildhomestay 野趣乡居岩石线

98km 1600m

Cycling along some very quiet roads over various spectacular climbs. Nothing too challenging but a nice way to easily rest in nature away from the city and forget my workload and other things. 沿着几条非常安静的道路骑行,穿越多处壮丽的山坡。难度不算太大,却是一种惬意的方式——远离城市喧嚣,在自然中轻松休憩,忘却工作压力与其他烦忧。

Shanghai Elevator 上海电梯骑行

100km Flat as a pancake.
https://strava.app.link/appmTDlqtZb
A classic ride taking in the old town, new city, industry, fishing village boats, agriculture, the bike lane and financial district and breakfast spots. Basically, a ride taking in the essence of Shanghai. A ride now NOT to do! Bye-bye until 2027 when they finish all the work on the canal / river sections of the ride. Shanghai is a real mixed place to ride. Downtown is getting kind of impossible to ride in unless you like riding in cycle lanes with 1000s of scooters, runners and commuters. The canals, rivers and suburbs are still good fun on an early morning. 经典骑行路线涵盖老城、新城、工业区、渔村船只、农田、自行车道、金融区及早餐点,堪称领略上海精髓的骑行之旅。但如今这条路线已无法体验!再见吧,直到2027年运河/河段工程全部完工。上海真是骑行体验参差不齐的城市。市中心骑行已近乎不可能——除非你乐意在自行车道里穿梭于成千上万的电动车、跑步者和通勤人群之间。清晨时分,沿着运河、河道和郊区骑行仍充满乐趣。

Shanghai Alex’s Farm Ride 上海Alex农场骑行之旅

https://strava.app.link/vfsx88AqtZb
100km
A mix of the old HQM route with mostly new stuff that’s been merged by AlexanderS. Needs to start early to beat the traffic leaving town, but once you’re out, it’s a very nice meander through the Sheshan countryside. Rice fields, some canals, the coffee van stop, with a nice return along that new bike running path ending in good coffee and cake! 这条路线融合了经典HQM路线与AlexanderS整合的大量新内容。需尽早出发避开出城高峰,一旦驶离市区,便可悠然穿行于佘山乡野:稻田、运河、咖啡车小憩点,最后沿新建的自行车道返回,终点处还有美味咖啡与蛋糕等着你!
For 2026, I will mostly focus on some rides into and on the Xizang (Tibetan) plateau, continuing my G219 and western border route. I hope these will include riding to the base of Everest & K2 and trying a bit of MTB bikepacking. Ill also try to figure out how to post my ride files on Redbook 🙁 (RB please allow links!!!). 2026年,我将主要聚焦于西藏高原的骑行路线,延续G219国道与西部边境的探索之旅。期待能骑行至珠峰与K2峰的基地营,并尝试山地自行车背包旅行。另外还得琢磨如何在小红书上发布骑行轨迹文件 :((请小红书允许链接!!!)。
