(2019·南昌模拟)Some of the best cycling routes in the world pass through the most beautiful scenery. Here are some of world's best bike routes for cyclists who are either up for having a good sweat or simply seeing the world without leaving an ugly carbon footprint behind.
The Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia
If you like a challenge, take on this 243kilometer windy road along Australia's southeastern coast. If a day is all you've got, take the 60kilometer route from Torquay to Bells Beach. There you'll cycle through rural farmland, enjoy the sweeping ocean views from cliff tops, and snake past the wetlands around Lake Connewarre.
The Udaipur City Tour, Rajasthan, India
Biking is arguably the best way to explore Udaipur, Venice of the East.
Cyclists often need to cycle past herdsmen and their goats and camels, sharing narrow, old pavements in this romantic place. But surrounded by ancient castles and grand palaces, Udaipur brings about one of the best biking experiences, allowing cyclists to truly discover rural India.
The Karakoram Highway, ChinaPakistan
The Karakoram Highway is the highest international road in the world, reaching an altitude of 4,717 meters near the Khunjerab Pass. Starting in Kashgar, China, cyclists can travel up to 1,200 kilometers on mostly unpaved roads, but the views are as breathtaking as the riding.
The Route of the Hiawatha, IdahoMontana, United States
Take your family out to Montana this summer and cycle along the most scenic disused railroad in the country. The railroad turned bike trail turns into 24 kilometers of leisure biking that takes you over seven trestles (栈桥) and through 10 tunnels, with the longest one, the Taft Tunnel, stretching for 2.7 kilometers.
