🚴♂️ The 6th China Xizang Trans-Himalaya International Cycling Race kicked off on August 6, sending over 100 riders on a high-altitude adventure across the Xizang Autonomous Region. From the historic streets of Lhasa to the verdant forests of Nyingchi, then through Lhokha’s winding roads to Xigaze’s mountain passes, this five-day event is cycling at its most epic.
🌄 Cyclists will navigate iconic landmarks like Lhasa’s Potala Palace, pedal through Nyingchi’s green valleys, climb Lhokha’s forested slopes, and tackle the challenging routes around Xigaze. It’s like the Tour de France—but with Himalayan views and yak crossings! 🐂
🏅 Eight international professional teams and nine domestic squads are pushing their limits, all vying for glory. Recognized as Xizang’s highest-level international cycling competition, the race earned a spot among China’s Top 10 Sports Tourism Boutique Events in 2020.
