The level rice fields and farmlands of the Sichuan Basin, in western China, offer 'easy-going' cycling. A subtropical climate keeps year-round temperatures between 9C and 29C. To avoid the hottest months and monsoon rains, steer clear of July and August.
For a greater challenge, head further west towards the Tibetan Plateau, where icing sugar mountains tower above stunning river valleys and expansive grasslands. The quiet roads are ideal for relaxed cycling, while high mountain passes provide an added test for both heart and lungs. From March to October bike fans will find the climate most favourable.
