I loved cycling when I was a kid, my parents always took me to the riverside to ride bike, enjoyed the sunset, breathed fresh air, and heard the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. That was a part of my childhood. This is a leisurely 20km cycle route along the riverside. We offer three bikes for the ride. During the ride, we will have time to take pictures or sit on the bench to enjoy a moment to reconnect with nature. At around 10km, we will stop over for tea in a tea house.
