As Beijing gears up for the 16th Beijing International Film Festival (BJIFF) from April 16 to 25, let's take a walk around Yanqi Lake, one of the festival's key venues. Nestled between mountains and open waters, its expansive lakeside landscape brings a sense of ceremony and international flair to film events, making it an inspiring space for cinematic exchange and creative connection.

But Yanqi Lake is also a hidden gem for cycling enthusiasts, with smooth paths that let you ride through breathtaking views at your own pace. Whether you're here for the films, the fresh air, or the freedom of two wheels, this is where art and nature meet.
