| I think travelling on the 30th will be very very crowded....if you can get the ticket that is, or you get stranded in xian (which will be crowded on May 1 too anyway). so either way you will get to see A LOT of people. have fun moving with the crowd haha |

| 1) If you're talking about sheer possibility, I don't see why not -- no one cares about where you ride your rented bicycles to, just don't get them stolen. However if you're talking about feasibility, this is sheer madness, the Great Wall is too far from downtown Beijing to be reached on bicycles. 2) Do you mean just the sections around Beijing, or elsewhere in China? ;) 3) No, because if you are, then so would tons of other people. |

| You could cycle to the Great Wall ..approx 120km..or a little nearer for Badelling. You would need to rent for 4 days...2 days riding and 2 days at the wall...possible I suppose but you would need to find a high quality bike. There is a YHA at Simitai where you could stay and walk to Jinsheling ....one of the most amazing walks in China. Problem is you would have to walk back for your bike, (28km return). The Far Eastern YHA in Beijing do great bus tours to do the J-S walk...no shopping just walking and sitting on a bus...about 150rmb. Being a cyclist I wouldn't recommend cycling to the GW ....too tricky getting out of Beijing...it's the mother of all cities. God help the olympics. |
