Shenzhen Banyin Greenway

Cyclists enjoy a ride in the city.

Built along the fire forest belt on the ridge of the Yinhu River, Banyin Greenway is probably the best greenway inside the Shenzhen Pass. The scenic trail along the Yinhu River, built in accordance with the landforms of the mountain, is a real challenge with steep slopes. But the track is concrete so it's very suitable for cycling. Though full of ups and downs, the 20-kilometer journey is not too intense. Most experienced riders can complete the whole route within three hours.

The trail, which takes you through the little "Great Wall" and Tianchi pond, is very suitable for beginners to practice climbing to help build up their stamina. Those without professional cross-country experience and outfits are not advised to take risks on the trail. With multiple climbs and sudden turns, both beginners and veterans should ride cautiously and use the brakes when going downhill to avoid accidents.

Make sure to grab your supplies before you hit the trail. The first climb after the entrance of the Yinhu River is more than 600 meters, so you are advised to walk your bike. Be careful while on different roads. The sandy and rocky roads are very slippery. There are little rocks protruding from the ground and the loose sand on some of the roads makes it easy to slip.
