County wants to brand itself nationwide

Yanqing County, just outside Beijing, is on the edge of the Great Wall and considered by cycling fans to be a great place to pursue their sport.

It has many of the elements of good tourism: there is of course the Great Wall, but also valleys, cliffs, mountains, and water to provide a picturesque setting.

The surroundings and convenient connection with downtown Beijing, as well as cycling facilities and services, have given Yanqing a new label: "cycling lovers' paradise".
