Guangdong Greenway Line 5 – Main Cycling Route

Part of Guangdong’s provincial greenway network, Line 5’s main route links parks, riversides, and urban neighborhoods around the Pearl River Delta. Expect long stretches of dedicated cycleway with smooth pavement, plus short connectors on local access/quiet roads, brief shared pedestrian zones, and the odd busy crossing.

Surfaces are mostly asphalt and concrete with some paving stones, so road, hybrid, and city bikes all work. The ride is generally gentle and works well in either direction—nice for a relaxed day out, a steady fitness spin, or casual touring.

You’ll find regular rest spots and plenty of convenience stores along the way. Bring a bell and lights for underpasses and dusk, and ease off the pace where the path is shared. Wayfinding varies—follow greenway signs where you see them and be ready for small detours if a segment is under maintenance.
