Hi me and my girlfriend have road bikes and are looking to take 3 days to cycle out of kunming and back again. Are there any nice scenic routes? we're looking to do like 60km a day so nothing hectic and would need to have accomadation on those 2 nights. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
Cheers, Charles
You can go to Fuxian Lake, passing by south of Dian lake for a little more that distance.
I did it during a festival, i. e. 3 days, and it was cool!
You can find any accommodation just looking on ctrip.
Cycling to Fumin via Bamboo Temple is nice. You can stay in Fumin or camp at Lion Mountain. Then on to Anning via Qinglong scenic area, a beautiful road through a river gorge. Coming back from Anning is not so great, the road on the west side of Dianchi is really busy.
I found cycling to the Turtle is OK and didn't have too many issues arriving. Cycling back proved difficult and took me 2 whole days! Fortunately, I managed to find places along the way to rest and gain support for the whole ordeal. I will never attempt to cycle outside of KM after this experience! Great scenery all around though
