Cycling

While locals precariously weave their bicycles between vehicles on busy city streets, cycling in Beijing's hutongs and numerous parks is an excellent way to experience the city's unique culture. Bicycling is one of the most commonly used methods of intercity transportation, and is both convenient and a good way to gain a local perspective of the city. Bicycles are available for rent from many street vendors at very reasonable prices, and may also be arranged through local hotels. From the winding hutongs of Houhai to the leisurely alleyways of Nanluoguxiang, cyclings provides tourists a physically active and enjoyable way to move about the city.
