On September 22, 2024, World Car-Free Day, the SANKEE Car-Free Action Day" event organized by the PLAYHARDERCLUB was successfully held in Liantang, Qingpu. This event, held in the form of "SANKEE·Guided Riding" attracted more than a dozen participants. Through leisure cycling and kayaking, they jointly practiced the concept of a car-free lifestyle, advocating a low-carbon, environmentally friendly, healthy, and fashionable way of life.
The event kicked off at 1:30 PM from the Sanmao Forest Parking Lot. Led by the lead riders and staff, the participants first cycled and checked in along the popular Taipu Riverside Cycling Path and the "Jiuzhou Wonderland" Ecological Conservation Forest in Liantang. The Jiuzhou Wonderland Conservation Forest is a ten-thousand-mu ecological protection area with beautiful scenery, as if stepping into a fairyland, and is deeply loved by local residents and tourists.
Along the way, they passed through the beautiful countryside of Dongtian Village and Yegang Village in Liantang. Dongtian Village, a typical Jiangnan water town, retains many traditional buildings, with crisscrossing waterways and picturesque scenery. Yegang Village is also known for its unique water town style, rich in natural resources and cultural landscapes. Cycling along the riverside forests, fields, and residential areas, participants felt the leisurely atmosphere of a rural outing and the joy of being close to nature.
After more than an hour of cycling, everyone successfully reached the 91 Kayak Club at No. 91 Dongtian Village, where they switched to kayaks to experience rowing in the village waterways and open lakes. Through this water village tour, participants checked in at the "wet" rural areas of Liantang, Qingpu, and enjoyed a special experience of intimate contact with nature.
The highlight of this event was its unique combination of cycling and kayaking. The suitable temperature, short leisure cycling distance, and just-right kayaking experience made every participant complete a perfect rural outing in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Everyone expressed that this event not only allowed them to experience the joy of a car-free lifestyle but also deeply felt the positive significance of a low-carbon and environmentally friendly way of life.
This "SANKEE-Free Action Day" event was not just a sports activity but also an advocacy for a lifestyle. Through cycling and rowing, participants supported the theme of World Car-Free Day with practical actions, demonstrating their pursuit of environmental protection and a healthy life.
In summary, this event not only allowed everyone to enjoy the natural beauty of Liantang, Qingpu but also raised environmental awareness and encouraged more people to join the low-carbon environmental protection action. We look forward to more similar activities in the future to continue promoting the concept of a car-free lifestyle and creating a better living environment.
