China, reputed to be the "bicycle kingdom", is one of the countries more developed in bicycle transportation. Cycling as a sport was introduced from Europe to China around 1913.

The Qinghai Lake International Road Cycling Race, held annually since 2002, is the highest-altitude international road cycling race in the world. The opening ceremony of the tenth edition of the event was taken place on 2 July. Held in both Qinghai and Gansu, the event marks a trans-provincial riding unprecedented in its history.
