"Pingtan is very clean and beautiful. All my companions are amazed at the enchanting views along the shoreline near Junshan Mountain," said You Chengxiao, president of the China Cross-Straits Cycling Sports Development Association.

"Cycling around a city is a new way to explore it and get a better understanding of the local culture and folk customs, and I shall recommend more Taiwan cyclists to come to Pingtan," added You.
