Last year's start.
There will be traffic restrictions in some areas of Qingpu District next week to allow for a cycle race in the Yangtze River Delta Ecology and Greenery Integration Demonstration Zone.

The event invites amateurs, professionals and spectators to enjoy the fun of racing and savor the beautiful landscapes of the Yangtze River Delta Ecology and Greenery Integration Demonstration Zone.
The circuit will be extended to cover Wujiang District in Jiangsu Province and Jiashan County in Zhejiang Province from Qingpu District in Shanghai last year, reaching 89 kilometers from the previous 70 kilometers.
It is the first big sports event in the demonstration zone.
