On this cycling trip, all of our guides, drivers and mechanics are from the local area that you will be cycling through.
We provide purified drinking water for the duration of the cycling component for all passengers and staff, from 20 litre, reusable water drums. This prevents you from needing to buy plastic bottles that add to landfill. We hand out a gift set of chopsticks and cover to all passengers on day one to encourage everyone to avoid using the disposable sets that are provided in many restaurants in China.
We send out trip information booklets to all passengers on our trips before the trip has started to encourage participants to start reading and learning about the country and region that you will be cycling through. The maximum group size for these trips is 12. This helps to preserve the experience as a more personalised for you and less intimidating for locals.
Our lodgings in the Longji Rice Terraces are the perfect example of the kind of places we prefer to stay when possible; small, locally or family-run guesthouses. In Longji we stay in a guesthouse called the Liqing Guesthouse. It is run by a husband and wife team Keyin and Lily. Both are heavily involved in all aspects of the business. We highly recommend you try some of Keyin home-made wine infused with fruit.
Discovering new foods, dishes and flavours is an integral part of travelling, and we love to eat! For breakfast, lunch and dinner we will take you to all manner of local eating establishments, eating fresh, regional produce cooked by the people who know best – the locals!
This trip supports an organisation local to the area. The program is called V.E.T. – Volunteer English Teaching. Their aim is to provide native English teachers to the more rural schools. They welcome our passengers to come in and teach a class and donate equipment. If you are interested in staying longer after the trip to teach for a longer period, please let us know when booking your trip.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
