From 15 April 2027
Join Bike for Peace in China
From Beijing along the Silk Road
In April 2027 Bike for Peace will travel to China. It is a peace journey built on dialogue and friendship between China, the Nordic countries, Europe and the United States.
We will meet students and teachers at the universities, peace organisations and people we meet along the way. We give talks, listen more than we speak, and bring the conversation home.
Two options
Option 1: The Silk Road
- Beijing: the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Peking University and Tsinghua University
- Xi'an: the Terracotta Army, a bike ride on the old city wall, Jiaotong University
- Lanzhou: the Yellow River, the Gansu Provincial Museum, Lanzhou University
- Ürümqi, the capital of Xinjiang
- Flight from Ürümqi back to Beijing, and home
Option 2: Beijing and Xi'an
- Beijing and Xi'an with the same content as above
- Train from Xi'an back to Beijing, and home
Practical
- The journey starts in Beijing on 15 April 2027 and ends in Beijing.
- Participants pay their own flights to Beijing and home.
- We are now collecting offers from travel agencies in China for hotels, trains, guides and programme. The price will follow as soon as it is ready.
- Norwegian citizens have had visa-free entry to China for short visits. We will check what applies in April 2027 and let everyone who registers know.
- The programme is in English, with a local guide. Between the cities we travel by high-speed train where we can, with a little cycling in the cities where possible.
Registration deadline: 27 November 2026
