Cycling tours are a wholesome sport-for-all activity. They not only promote physical fitness, but also offer an opportunity to tour the countryside, breathe fresh air and learn something new. As a result, this event is very popular and has been held annually for the past ten years. It remains one of the favourite sport-for-all activities amongst the public.

After having lunch at Zhang Jia Bian, the cyclists arrived at the destination of Shijie, Dongguan by evening, where they stayed overnight.
