In the future, mountain biking enthusiasts in Lanzhou will have a great place for training and competition. The highly anticipated Jīnlóngshān Forest Farm Mountain Bike Track is set to be completed soon. Once finished, it will be the first professional mountain bike track in Lanzhou and even the entire province.
Costing over 10 million yuan

It features multiple tracks including a mountain bike circuit, downhill forest trails, pursuit racing tracks, and obstacle climbing courses. The layout is rational and compact, and the overall track meets national high-level standards. Covering an area of 1,500 mu and costing over 10 million yuan, the track has been built to international standards. The total length of the track is 4 kilometers, with a maximum gradient of 42 degrees, a maximum elevation drop of 210 meters, 30 turns, and it forms a loop.
Creating an "outdoor theme park"
On July 6, 2014, the first "SHIMANO-UPLAND Cup" National Mountain Bike Championship Lanzhou stop kicked off here. On the day of the race, elite mountain bikers from across the province gathered to compete. Once the Jīnlóngshān Mountain Bike Track is officially operational, aside from being closed during competitions, it will be open to the public at other times, providing a great place for mountain biking enthusiasts to exercise and unwind.
