MTB inside the middle of Guangzhou city

Last summer I asked a friend to go riding off road as there is virtually NOWHERE here to go where I live, he mentioned a park in Guangzhou (大夫山） and asked if if was OK to bring some friends....be careful when the word "some" friends is mentioned. It was great fun, the trails were actually better than I had hoped for and some of the riders were quit skilled, except on the technical sections.

The park has like 5 sections, each about a half mile or so, some difficult uphill sections for those who are not fit and more than a few technical areas that seem to attract watchers who sit on the side and see if you can make it, sadly some of them stand right on the trail in your way. As to be expected, many do NOT follow the course directions and riders going the wrong way were a constant issue...but they seem to yield to the one going the fastest, which I guess is ok with me.

Looks interesting, why not post some pics of your bike in the sticky thread?

If your serious about riding try going to Houjie Donguang where chinaV lives, theres a large park there with a few off road trails to explore.
Or if you,re really serious take your bike on the bus to Zengcheng, it's dirt bike and MTB heaven, I just did 180klms of MTBing there last week in 3 days. Big lakes, mountains and lots of logging trails and single track.
Also check out the Guangdong greenway, a couple of thousand Klms of dedicated mtb paths that go through Guangdong's senic and not so senic places.
