This ride is for bike lovers. We will start from the south end of the bike trail along the river close to Xupu Bridge. Once we choose the bikes, there is only one thing to do - follow the bike lane and enjoy the scenery.

There are 13 bridges over the Huangpu River in Shanghai. We will be encountering 4 of them during the ride.

1) The first is Xupu Bridge, which is at our meeting point.

2) The second one we will be passing by is Nanpu Bridge, which is the earliest bridge built in the city center in 1991. This was a major project in the early years of development in Pudong.

3) We will continue to ride to Lupu Bridge, which once was the longest steel arch bridge in the world. The area by Lupu is the former Expo site where Shanghai hosted the 2010 World Exposition. We may still see some remnants of the pavilions and structures, which have now been converted into a museum, shops, and restaurants. The Expo Wetland Park is lovely to explore, with beautiful flowers and plants in bloom.

Before we make our way to Lujiazui, the financial district in Pudong, we will have a lunch break at one of the restaurants by the river. The ride to Lujiazui is breathtaking, with the most famous landmarks of the city on both sides.

4) Finally, we will reach the ride's last bridge as we pedal up north. The Yangpu Bridge was built two years after the Nanpu Bridge and was originally not painted. It was coated red for the millennium – a color highly favored in China!
