Recently, the “China Sports Lottery” 2025 Foshan Two Rivers Loop Cycling Race kicked off passionately at Haishou Island, Jiujiang Town, Nanhai District. Nearly a thousand cycling enthusiasts from across the country gathered in this Lingnan water town to compete in a peak contest of speed and endurance on the 6.4-kilometer island-circling track.
At the same time, the “Public Welfare Sports Lottery · Happy Journey Music Listening Session” also started with great enthusiasm. This cross-border carnival integrating “sports + music + cultural tourism” allowed participants and the general public to immerse themselves in Foshan’s ecological beauty and cultural vitality through racing and melodies.
With the theme of “Dragon Tour in Foshan, the Most Beautiful Two Rivers”, this cycling event adopted a dual-track model of “public cycling + professional competition”, creating a grand cultural and sports event that combines professional athletics, national fitness and eco-tourism.
As the starting gun fired, a thousand riders raced forward against the wind, engaging in fierce competition on the picturesque track. The Men’s Road Public Group, Women’s Road Group and the final Men’s Road Elite Group took turns to compete, staging exciting duels of speed and passion one after another.
The joyful cycling team moved leisurely along the Xijiang River coast, enjoying the water town scenery and experiencing the fun of cycling.
The public welfare sports lottery music listening session held during the event pushed the atmosphere to a climax. Wang Chenrui, the national third-place winner of Sing! China, sang classic songs such as I Like You and Once Upon a Time with her powerful voice, arousing resonance throughout the audience. Young singers took turns to perform on stage, showing their youthful charm with energetic performances, and applause and cheers kept rising from the audience.
“Watching the exciting cycling race while listening to high-quality live music, this experience is amazing!” Ms. Wu, who came specially from Guangzhou, said excitedly. Local resident Mr. Zhang also sighed: “The combination of this music listening session and the cycling race allows us to enjoy the feast of integrated culture, sports and tourism right at our doorstep. Thumbs up for such events!”
