Bike riding in China
China has for long been known as a "kingdom
of bicycles" and bicycles play an important role in Chinese
daily life.
Riding a bicycle means you have joined the Chinese. A bike
will easily take you to alleyways and hutong, where other means
of transportation do not usually have access. You can enjoy
street scenes, visit small museums of celebrities, and call
on residents' homes. You also have an additional advantage of
freedom of movement that you can stop wherever you want.
In China, most hotels and travel agencies provide the bike
rental service for visitors, so when you needs, contact those
departments. When rent a bike, a valid ID, such as a passport,
should be presented. Rent is calculated based on the number
of days the bike is used. A deposit is required for each rental.
When bikes are returned in good conditions and a refund can
be secured with the receipt.
