大夫山自行车场

The Dafushan Mountain Bike Course lies inside Dafushan Forest Park in Panyu District and was the mountain bike venue of the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. Its loop runs about 3.5 kilometres, passing mainly through the Mayin Quan, Dalin Gang and Chang Gang areas, and uses the natural rise and fall of the hills, forest tracks and gradients to create climbs, descents and technical sections typical of Lingnan hill country. The supporting building covers a 646-square-metre footprint with 2,138 square metres of floor area over three storeys: the ground floor holds public rest areas and notice boards, the first floor offices and staff rest rooms, and the top floor rooms for judges, guests and officials. The Asian Games mountain bike events were held here in November 2010. After the Games the course was absorbed into the forest park's cycling and hiking network. The park is free to enter, its roads are wide and its gradients moderate, and it has become one of the main places in Panyu for mountain biking, trail running and everyday exercise. Dafushan Forest Park takes its name from the 226.6-metre peak within it and contains numerous ponds and artificial lakes; the race loop threads through the woods and has become a regular practice route for Guangzhou mountain bikers. Opening hours vary with the season, generally from 08:00 to around 18:00. Its forest tracks and hill roads suit mountain biking and hiking. The park is managed by Panyu District and charges no admission fee. Ticket and park enquiries: 020-84801183.
