About this tour

This 9-day cycling adventure through Ningbo and the Zhoushan Islands is designed for travelers who love exploring nature, culture, and coastal scenery at their own pace. The journey combines island hopping, ferry rides, and leisurely cycling routes, offering a perfect mix of activity and relaxation.
Over the first six days, you’ll settle into the Zhoushan Islands, cycling through picturesque landscapes like Zhujiajian, Taohua Island (known from a classic novel), and Danshan Island. A rest day is thoughtfully included for visiting the sacred Putuoshan Mountain by ferry. The final leg of the trip takes you to Ningbo, where you’ll enjoy cycling around the serene Dongqian Lake and exploring the city’s cultural highlights.
Accommodation is handpicked for comfort and convenience—starting with the Zhoushan Putuo Hilton Hampton and ending with the peaceful Fullon Hotel Ningbo Dongqian Lake. Whether you’re pedaling along island roads or soaking in local sights, this tour offers an unforgettable way to experience the charm of Zhejiang’s coastline.
These cycling tours are designed for convenience, with a single hotel serving as your base for the first six nights, eliminating the daily hassle of packing and unpacking.
