Hi,
I go for a long run every Thursday afternoon (20-30km, depending how i feel) around qipanshan 棋盘山. I ride my old beater bicycle and lock it at the bottom, and then start running (it's about half an hour ride from Wenlin)
It's very challenging and hilly for the first 10 minutes, but after that not too bad, and there's some nice trail running to be done once you get to the top.
Anyone fancy joining me? Or know any other nice running spots that aren't much further to ride out too?
If you keep going west on Remin Lu, you will eventually hit Chunyu Rd. A relatively empty road by Kunming standards. Keep running south and you will get to XiShan.
What I talk about when I talk about running, by Murakami. Great book, eventhough I'm not a runner. I also have it as an Audiobook.
thanks for the tip. i go on chunyu to hit qipanshan. how much further is it to xishan? i checked baidu maps but it wasn't so clear to me.
according to google maps it's a 9 km run.
it gets a bit dusty 1 km before the before the bridge (green roundabout on the map) and 500m after. Continue on that road, and you can make it up to XiShan.
Another place I like to cycle is near Dianchi lake. not very long, but there's a wide sidewalk for you and if you chose the right time, not too many people.
