March is the best season for cycling, with the warm weather and the blooming flowers. The Shanghai Trek Chongming Environmental Cycling Activity, organized by the TREK Bicycle Brand, was recently launched in Chongming. 50 riders set off from the Lotus Expo Park, Chongming, rode along the Yangtze River Embankment, passing through scenic spots such as Xisha Wetland and Chongming North Beach, and finally arrived at Daoxiang Huashe Homestay in Xincun Township, covering a total distance of 45 kilometers. This event was jointly organized by the Xincun Township People's Government and Daoxiang Huashe Homestay.
Cycling enthusiasts rode orange bicycles and passed through the picturesque scenery of Chongming. Along the way, they could enjoy the magnificent river scenery, vast fields of rapeseed flowers, and romantic paths of crabapple flowers. They could also feel the gentle breeze and breathe the fresh air. All along the way, the riders chatted and laughed freely, enjoying the comfort and joy of cycling in Chongming.
Rice Culture Town, Xincun Township is one of the 27 characteristic towns in Shanghai, and it is the destination of the cycling activity. After arriving at the finish line, the riders, led by the staff of Daoxiang Huashe Homestay, participated in an handmade board cake activity, kneading the cake balls and pressing the patterns. Everyone quickly mastered the skill, and the soft and sticky board cake formed. During the activity, they also learned a lot about the rice’s knowledge and culture.
