On the evening of July 19, the "Cycling in Beijing, Fun in Shijingshan"  Public Cycling Event was held at Shougang Park, hosted by Beijing  Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and Shijingshan District  People's Government of Beijing Municipality. Nearly 300 cycling  enthusiasts, travel agents, practitioners of the tourism industry,  representatives of the public, and media reporters from all over the  city participated in the event.

At the launch ceremony, the representative of  Shijingshan Culture and Tourism Bureau introduced the highlights of the  cycling route designed in the western part of Beijing. Following safety  riding coaching by professionals, participants embarked on a group ride  along the five-kilometre-long route in Shougang Park. The well-designed  cycling route passed through Chang'An Mills, the No. 1 Blast Furnace,  the No. 3 Blast Furnace, the material silo, Yuansu Motorbike Town,  Chagang'er Cycling Station, the Shangri-La Shougang Park, Beijing and  other landmarks, as well as special stamp collection points for cyclists  to collect the stamps specially designed for this event before  returning to the starting point. The race was also a tour combining  sightseeing, fitness, cultural charm, and collection of stamps. Through  this event, everyone witnessed the magnificent transformation of  Shougang Park from a traditional industrial park to a modern cultural  and creative hub.
